And the Nominees SO FAR are...

[dreamflower]

I'd like to remind people that there is less than a week now to get your nominations in for the Tree and Flower Awards!

In order to facilitate the rest of the nominations, behind the cut are the stories which have been nominated so far ("so far" is 9PM Sunday, CDST/2AM Monday GMT), which include all the ones I have received as of that time. Please look over the list, so we can cut down on duplicate nominations; also, although I have tried my best, I may have missed a duplicate nomination OR missed one altogether. If you see a story listed more than once, or if you have made a nomination BEFORE 9PM Sunday, CDST/2AM Monday GMT, and do NOT see it here, please comment on this post to let me know.

As you can see, we still have some categories with no, or only one, nomination! So I hope you will take the chance to make some!

THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED TO REFLECT COMMENTS AND EMAILS RECEIVED BY 10AM CDST.
There are still a few doubles, now in () parentheses to reflect that the author has not chosen the category yet. I will edit those when I hear from the author. If I do not hear from the author in 48 hours, the nomination will default to the first to nominate.

ETA: Nominations in red were received today. (8/20/12, by 4PM CDST)

I will also be adding new nominations here as I receive them.

Please continue to check and to comment if you find any more errors!
