Awarded to a complete story.
Additional chapters will be accepted and published after the award, but
the story will not be eligible for another award.
A story may win the award once.
Sequels that are published as independent stories instead of a series
are not eligible for multiple awards.
A wholly new sequel can be considered for a separate award.

The prize will be awarded to romantic stories depicting adult
relationships in the Adult-Friends, Beginnings, Encounters, Relationships, and College
categories of the Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian or Transgender Sections of the
Nifty Archive.
Taboo content (minors, raunch, urination, scat, authoritarian, BDSM,
torture, rape, etc.) will disqualify a story from consideration.
Playful, light bondage or watersports, as well as adult incest,
can be present.
