To become featured, a work must&hellip;

 * 1) &hellip;Be finished, unless it is a novel (> 50,000 words). Full completion on a novel is strongly recommended, but if it is not, then it should be at least roughly 3/4 finished and have no major edits pending. What defines sufficient completion for a mostly finished work will lie in the majority opinion of the review board defined below.
 * 2) &hellip;Be of sufficient length as to merit featured work status. A general qualifier is 50,000 words for a novel and 5,000 words for a short story, at a minimum. If other categories of work are nominated, it will be at the discretion of the FWRB as to an appropriate length.
 * 3) &hellip;Be of sufficient quality to merit featured work status and display on the Main Page. That said, the FWRB has various powers related to judgment calls on nominations as described above. They are not required to read the entire work, but that is recommended.
 * 4) &hellip;Be of good taste, interesting, less than 300 words, and completely free of spelling and grammar errors. All of these considerations lie with the sole purview of the FWRB in charge of featured works.
 * 5) &hellip;Receive at least (2/3) votes from the FWRB and 5 votes from the community to become a featured work. This is to encourage community participation, without dragging out nominations forever. 2 out of 3 of these review board members can also remove a nomination if they believe it is of particularly low quality.
 * 6) &hellip;A cover is preferred but not absolutely mandatory. Better to have no cover than a bad cover.

How to nominate:

 * 1) First, create a new entry below and post an excerpt of the work to be featured to the forum.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the work is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the excerpt/work (grammar errors, style, organization, plot, etc.).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the excerpt/work until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 2 out of 3 FEATURED WORK REVIEW BOARD MEMBERS VOTES, at least 5 community member votes, and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured work."
 * 5) Be sure to place sign in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
 * 6) You may not vote for your own featured work nomination, nor may you strike the objections of others.

How to vote:

 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the excerpt completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes. Reading the complete work is optional; FEATURED WORK REVIEW BOARD MEMBERS are encouraged to do so, or at least skim over it.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) *If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. '''Be specific in your objection! Failure to do so may result in your objection being considered invalid and overridden (by a 2/3 vote from the FWRB)
 * 4) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the excerpt/work, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
 * 5) If a nomination is inactive or deemed totally unworthy of FW status, it can be removed by a 2/3 vote from the FWRB.
