User blog comment:Darkest Shadow/SFW Summer Awards 2016 Category Discussion/@comment-1942179-20160508133916

While I'm talking about removing categories here, Here's my thought on what should change in the confirmed categories.

I have no complaints from Best Hero to Best Character, although some might not be too keen on keeping Best Neutral around, I dunno.

Best New Character is, as I said below, the exact same thing as Best Character but with different rules for nominating. It's very much redundant, and redundancy is something we're trying to cut back on. I vote to axe this.

Replace Best Genius with Best Mechanic. While Genius sounds is kind of a staple of the SFW awards, I've seen many people struggle with voting in this category. It's kind of weird to judge people based on their intellect, especially seeing as it comes in many forms. Heck, if Smash was able to win it with pure common sense, there might be a problem here.

Strongest Character is also kind of weird like that, but it's not quite as difficult. It's basically judging people based on how strong, yet balanced they are. This can probably stay.

I kinda still want Best Attack/Skill, but there really weren't a whole lot of nominations last time.

I do side with the majority vote to merge Best Item with Best Weapon, though.

We have Best Fan Project, and are discussing the possibility of merging it with Best Fan-Series. The more I think about it, the more I feel that it would make more sense to merge Fan-Series with Fanfiction. After all, Fan-Series are usually a series of fanfictions, right? At least, that's how I see it.

And finally, Best Picture. With our current limitations on it, there really wasn't a whole lot going on for it here. How would people feel about removing it?
