Here is the process that will be followed to attempt to achieve this project:

 * 2) The administrators will pick out five for each topic before August 13th.
 * 3) The community will rate the nominations from a scale of 1 to 6 before August 20th.
 * 4) The community will then vote from the three highest rated nominations before August 27th and the results will be posted on September 1st.
 * 5) In order to nominate or vote for a fanon, a user must have made a minimum of twenty edits.
 * 6) The nominees must be eligible for the category they are nominated for. Unless a category specifically wants an on-going or upcoming fanon, only finished fanons can receive nominations.
 * 7) * Stories will be considered "new" if they are close to starting or have recently started.
 * 8) * Only stories that have been created after August 1st, 2014 may be nominated.
 * 9) * Nominations of own's work are not allowed.
 * 10) * The community may nominate multiple fanon pages of the same author, even of the same series for a category.
 * 11) * If there is a tie between fanons for a nomination spot, the admins will decide which one goes to the nomination stage.
 * 12) The voting process shall take place through commenting.
 * 13) Winners receive the corresponding template on their fanon pages and/or user pages.
