The Isis Awards are almost upon us.

It's that time of year again! Time for the SG-1 and (for the first time) Atlantis Secondary ship awards - the Isis Awards.

Many of you may remember our awards from last year. Well, this year we're (hopefully) going to be bigger and better, now that we've added the Atlantis secondary ships to the award.

As with last year, this award excludes the primary ship for each show, which we have determined is Sam/Jack for SG-1 and Sheppard/Weir for Atlantis. (I realize some may disagree with the decision to exclude Sheppard/Weir, but as it seems to be the most prevalent het pairing in Atlantis fandom, we're considering it the primary Atlantis ship for now regardless of where canon goes.) This award is to give the authors who write for pairings with lesser followings a chance for their day in the sun.

Editorial Note: Now here’s my feeling on this - Why exclude anybody? I think that the story should win on its own merit and not on weather it’s considered primary or secondary. Also, why would other ships be considered secondary. There is nothing in official show plotline, real or otherwise that says anybody’s ship is more real than any other.

The site has been moved from last year, so please follow this link to reach the new site - http://isis.worldstowander.com/

Nominations open on January 1, and will remain open for two weeks. Please read the rules before nominating, as we have altered them slightly from last year.

I hope this year's awards go smoothly, and that everybody has a good time nominating, reading, and voting for their favourite fan fictions. Thanks to everybody who participates!
