The rules are the same as last year, so if you've read those there is nothing new here :)
Joining:
1) Everyone who wants his or her fanfiction to be part of the awards must enter their fanfiction before August 18, 2015. You may enter up to 5 of your fanfictions, but can only have 1 fanfiction award from each year in your signature. Fanfiction must include the following criteria (subject to change):- The fanfiction has to include at least 1 of the main characters from The Land Before Time. It would not be an LBT fanfiction otherwise. Preferably, this character has maintain his or her actual characteristics (so Littlefoot would not be some kind of dictator out to murder everyone).
- Fanfiction has to be either a script, poetry or prose. It can consist of several chapters or just a shorter story, but the minimum length required is 1 full page in Microsoft word (Calibri 11, or Times New Roman 12). If you do not own Microsoft Word, ask me to copy your fanfiction to see if it is eligible.
- The fanfiction should have been updated or created between the last fanfiction award (aug 11, 2014) and now (aug 3, 2015) and should be posted on the Gang of Five as a full story or as a link to fanfiction sites. It does not have to be finished.
2) Fill in this form and send it to me by PM (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=158):

Voting
You can rate fanfics here: (no topic created yet)
1) We list all fanfictions that you can vote for in one thread. In that thread you can post your rating for the fanfiction. Voting is simple, but it will take some time. You may pick any of the fanfictions you've read, and only those you have read. You will rate this fanfiction a mark from 1 to 10, and include a little description of why you want to give that fanfiction that mark. This description should include your opinion and should show that you've actually read the fanfiction.
2) Voting looks like this:
Fanfiction: [name of fanfiction 1]
I rate it: 6/10
Because: This fanfiction was average. It did not keep my attention span for much longer than 5 minutes. Next to that it was so obvious what would happen to Cera, everyone knew that she would eventually escape from the Sharptooth. However it is still an interesting plot line and could be made into a movie if it was written with more care and enthusiasm.
Fanfiction: [name of fanfiction 2]
I rate it: 8/10
Because: Wow! I've never seen anyone write this well! As much as I despise human influence in the land before time, it was awesome to see how Littlefoot communicated with them.
3) If you have submitted your fanfiction as nomination, you HAVE to rate someone else's fanfiction (you may not rate your own). You need to review at least one fanfiction for every fanfiction you submit. If you submit 5, you review 5!
4) After the awards are over, everyone who participated in the fanfiction award will get an award for them to show in their signature. It will state the following:
Fanfiction award for [name of fanfiction here]
Number of votes: 3
Average rating: 7/10
You may only include 1 fanfiction award per year in your signature, no matter how many fanfictions you submitted that year. - Just pick your favourite.
You will not be disqualified for the appreciated member award if you join these awards.
