hey everyone! after some thinking, I've decided to stop wasting time! this contest must get going and if we don't have 2 judges for each genre, well that's too bad. we'll work with what we've got.

I've decided to restructure categories and give them new names. that way, things are fun, clear, and can get moving! 

about 15 entries had their books moved to the general fiction 2 category and I will dm you individually about that. if you didn't get a dm, don't worry about it.

otherwise, here are the new categories:

fire [horror]

flames [general fiction]

embers [general fiction 2]

heat [action/adventure]

burning [fanfiction]

smoke [poetry]

blaze [romance]

inferno [short story]

ignite [vampire/werewolf]

light [chicklit]

kindle [humor]

torch [fantasy]

spark [teen fiction]

glow [mystery/thriller]

hearth [lgbtq]

energy [science fiction]

incite [historical fiction]

charring [graphics]
