Just a note, as this has now come up several times:

When submitting a vote for Best Original Character, type the CHARACTER'S NAME
in the box, NOT the title of the story. Several stories (Illumination,
Senseless, A Time And A Place) have multiple characters nominated, and it is
impossible to know who to give the vote to.

I have been notified that assistants have been found (thank you kindly,
whoever you are), and the assistants will be activated tonight. They will be
updated on the tallies to date, and from now on, will be automatically
forwarded copies of every vote.

Also, I have been alerted to the problems with the Best Series page, and will
address them as soon as I get home from work.
