Category Selection Nominations for April 2013
The April 2013 category selection will be the same as the other category selections we have done so far for 2013. We'll have one poll after all nominations are in; there will be no run-off poll. In case of a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.

* This thread will be open for 7 days or 21 fully seconded and thirded nominations (we don't want a poll that's too large), whichever comes first.

* The poll will be up for 4 days.

* Each member has three votes in this thread to use either as nominations or to second or third another members nominations.

The story thus far:

Quote:

Since I am up, I guess I will start the nominations.

I nominate Humor (might as well get the obvious one out of the way) and Lottery (see last month's noms for a definition of that). I will save my third for now.

I will second Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Humor (would love a discussion on the subjectiveness of humor).

Is Mystery/Thriller meant to be seperate from Mystery/Crime which has already been nominated? Also is Crime (which was also nominated) supposed to be seperate from Mystery/Crime?
