I don't like having major payments for awards, let alone mini awards, so there are only two payments, and one of which can be withdrawn after the contest is over, or even after I finish judging your categories.

Payments:

1) Please permanently follow Ravendipity, your host and judge for the contest.

-- If you are following from a different account, that is fine, but please list it here --->

-- You must own the account, though; I do not accept follows from a "friend's" account.

-- If you are submitting a work written by more than one person, all authors must follow since all authors are receiving the rewards.

-- It's totally cool if you don't like giving follows in return for reviews, but you will not change my opinion about it, so if you personally disagree, please do not sign up.

2) Please add this contest to a public or private reading list (temporarily or permanently is up to you, but please add it for the duration of at least your categories).

-- The reading list is not a payment to promote the awards but rather to keep you updated with the awards. This will go based on the honors system, and I will trust you will add this to either a public or private list.

And, remember, while waiting for reviews, you're more than welcome to ask me writing questions, ask for writing advice, read my other reviews and apply it to your work, and ask others in this contest if they want to be friends. Please use this opportunity to connect with other writers!

Optional Payments:

These are optional, meaning they are not required, but they are deeply appreciated:

1) Vote on this contest if you want to see more like it!

2) If you like the contest, maybe leave some comments to help it in the algorithm!

3) Tag some people you think may be interested in these awards

4) Post this contest on your message board for your followers to see

5) Follow NotEvenEstella to thank her for her wonderful graphics work on this contest!

Like I said, all optional since I personally dislike tagging and posting on my mb, so I don't want to make people do things I personally don't like, but if you would personally like to do these things, I appreciate it!

Payment Rules:

1) The follow is permanent, meaning even if you dislike your review, you cannot undo the follow. The reviews will be very in-detailed, and you will get other permanent benefits for signing up, so it is only fair there is one permanent payment in return. Since all of my contests and community events (such as review shops) typically only require a follow, this follow grants you access to all of my services.

Basically, to put it bluntly, you're getting a professional review for free. I totally get it if you don't like follows in return for reviews, but please do not sign up if you are not okay with my rules.

2) If you delete your books or back out, that is not grounds for unfollowing since you are inconveniencing me and taking slots from others. My contests are always very high-in-demand, so please do not take slots from others if you anticipate needing to back out or delete your books.

- That being said, if Wattpad deletes all the books you are participating with and you can prove this (Wattpad will send a message/email), then I don't mind if you unfollow because then that is a truly unexpected event.

3) Of course, no one is perfect, no one has the perfect memory, things happen, unfollow sprees happen, etc. So, no, you're not going to get the boot if you unfollow once. You will be given two warnings, and the third one will result in potential private blacklisting not just for this contest but for multiple contests with multiple hosts, as I know a lot of hosts.

- This rule applies within reason. I.e., if you unfollow twice and then don't unfollow again for a bit, then I'm not cruel, I'll ask you about it.

Most of this is just common sense: don't sign up if you're going to break the rules. I am going to be putting in hours upon hours upon hours of effort per book, and that is without factoring in the housekeeping hours of formatting, designing, writing, editing, etc. that go into making an awards possible. Even if you are dissatisfied, please remain followed.

Also, I am a very understanding person. I scream my head off for men who don't even know I exist (and/or men who don't exist). I'm really not as strict as I may seem (you have to put up a strong front to discourage potential rule-breakers from applying, y'know?), so, please, feel free to reach out and talk to me if anything I do makes you uncomfortable or makes you dissatisfied. I have no problem finding accommodations. My #1 priority is making sure you have a safe and fun experience here, so please communicate with me!

Thank you for reading.
