Announcement from KIS AWARDS team:
          	
          	It's been a very long time since I've been on Wattpad and need to pretty much face the music on what happened with the KIS Awards, so here goes:
          	
          	I want to offer my sincerest apologies for dropping the KIS Awards project and not completing the award selection.  I had a lot that got piled on my plate (work and personal) and made it very difficult to manage.  I had some judges that couldn't commit which put a lot of work back on the one's that stayed and also on me to read and score. I glad so many participated, but we didn't have enough resources to do the program justice. The frustration of it made me insanely overwhelmed and disappointed.  
          	
          	In the end, I believe in holding myself fully accountable for leaving all the entrants and judges who committed to participate in limbo, and not openly communicating the issue. For that, I'm truly sorry to everyone for not speaking up and want to thank all the judges that helped me and did their part. It was all volunteer help because they believed in the Awards and I let them down by not following through or shutting it down earlier instead of walking away from it.
          	
          	I was ashamed I couldn't deliver and the longer I did, the more I procrastinated in communicating the problem that I couldn't deliver. Failing doesn't sit well with me, so processing it still sucks. It definitely was not the way to handle it, but I'm only human and realize it was a big mistake.  
          	
          	I really wanted the KIS Awards to be a real thing on Wattpad and when it became too much to execute, I kinda panicked and checked out. It's still my big dream for the KIS Awards to be a thing, but at this time, I don't think I'm the right person to lead it. If anyone else wants to head it up (hopefully with more passion and resources) I'll gladly pass the torch to you with my full support.  It has a lot of potential and there's so many great Romance writers here that deserve to shine.

          "No," This time his expression was plain but I liked the way it slightly hardened when he looked at me; like he was displeased, uninterested, but still unable to let me go. "I'd just fvck your mouth until you puked them back up."

Hi there patrons, followers and KIS Awards contestants!
          
          **The Reader's Choice Awards is officially OPEN FOR VOTING!** Woot! Woot!
          All qualified contestants have been added to the Reader's Choice Awards Book. Every author has their own page to collect votes.  Contestants, now's the time to rally your fans for vote for you.  Readers!  Hopefully you've been reading some of these awesome submissions in our reading lists.  Now's the time to let the authors know how you feel. Please cast your votes for your favorite author(s).  Also, you can leave comments and kudos even questions to the authors on their voting page.  Just be sure to tag them so they can see it :)  
          
          
          In regards to the Best in Genre awards, the judges are still working through the submissions for scoring, and sadly one of our judges dropped out last week, so we'll need to redistribute the books she didn't complete, which will take more time.  Timeline for announcement is still on schedule for April, but I'm not yet comfortable with setting a firm announcement date considering more work as been put on the team.  I have an amazing judges team BTW :) We'll work through it! Thanks for your continued patience.

          ***I wanted to make sure all of you got the latest info since it's been tough posting information to you via PM***
          All of the qualified entries have now been divided up among us.  Everyone should have 8 or 9 books that differ with author and genre for you to read, enjoy and review:) Your book assignments are located in our "Judge's Corner" page in the comments.
          
          The Scorecards have all been added, however, I had to make 2 sheets because Google Docs puts a limit on maximum tabs.  Sorry I couldn't put it all in one, but you'll have access to both. If the title you're looking for isn't found on "Sheet 1" then look on "Sheet 2". I will try to color code tabs by judge, but probably won't complete that till Monday or Tuesday.
          
          I will send out the links to the scorecards via PM. Please let me know if you haven't received the Google Doc links by Saturday night.
          
          Thanks and Happy Reading!
          If you have any questions, please reach out!
