The place to nominate the books you think should go in the unofficial YWS Top 100.
There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

There needs to be a process in place here. A nomination step (which is what this thread is for I suppose).

Then there is a voting stage, and then a last stage that tallies and eliminates outliers.

100 may be too much for this site... then again, maybe not.
Perception is everything.

I suppose we're judging this on number of nominations per book? The less nominations there are, the further down the list they go? Wow, this is going to take a while! XD

EDIT: Or your way, Trident, sounds much better!

Shall we see how many get nominated first? if it's well over 25, but not enough for a top 50 then the Top 25. If it's well over 50 but not enough for a top 100 then Top 50, etc.??

If you guys wouldn't mind, I would love to put some organization into this idea rather than have a sloppy process. I don't want to be a control freak here, but I can see this getting out of control and going a really bad direction. :p
