Nominate me for largely meaningless awards, take two

Still doing the self promotion thing for the Kim Possible fan fiction awards known as "Fannies".  This time I'm trying to do it in a vaguely coherent way.  Still would like it if at least one person would send an email nominating me for stuff, if anyone thinks I'm worthy, but I've tried to cut down on necessary effort.

You nominate things (from zero to two per category) by, basically, copying and pasting the list of categories into an email, adding the nominations you have, and then sending it.  The email is sent to kimmunityfannies AT yahoo DOT com.

Here comes the less effort thing:

Instead of a massive disorganized list of crap, basically what I've done here is create that form you'd copy and paste with everything that I've done that qualifies filled in.  Please note that you CANNOT send it as is because only two things can be nominated per category.  As it is, there are two many in several categories because what I do tends to bunch up.

For example, notice how every KP thing I do ends up being an action/adventure drama?  Well, Being more than a Simulacrum is just drama, but other than that.  That leaves way more than two choices in those categories.

So you'd have to cut it down to the two you think are most deserving.

Astute observers will note that several categories are also blank.  If mine is the only KP fic you've ever read they'd likely stay that way, if you're into the fandom however, maybe you want to add, say "Warmth of a Banana, by Imyoshi" to the Best One Shot category or something not to mention that you might not think my things are the best, for example: since I'm me I can't nominate myself, only try to get other people to do it for me, but even if I could I'd definitely nominated "Master from Action and Reaction by Shadowdancer01" for best villain over Mancer from Life After.

To see what other self promoting people have done, go here.  Though some of the best stuff is by people who don't self promote.

So, what you'd do to nominate me is copy everything between the massive break below and the massive break near the end, paste into whatever you like to paste text into.  Cut it down so that there are at most two things per point, if and only if you've been reading other KP stuff done in 2015, add in stuff from other authors as you see fit (and yes that does including adding two things from others to a category and deleting all of my stuff if you think my stuff isn't most worthy of a nomination) and copy the edited version you just made, past it into an email, and then send said email to [kimmunityfannies AT yahoo DOT com].

I fully expect no one to send a nomination email.

I was trying to winnow down things into best lines, but I really couldn't, so I just picked a random one from the semi-winnowed list I'd made for each story:

“I know I said--she said, 'Mad Scientist,' when I--she first met him, but I've always felt he was more of an upset engineer.”
- Kim's clone discussing Drakken, Being More than a Simulacrum

She channeled her inner Marvin the Paranoid Android and had a detailed chat with every line of code.
- Forgotten Seeds

The platypus venom is in a jar in the refrigerator labeled, 'Don't drink,' line break, 'No,' comma, 'seriously,' comma, 'do not drink'.
- Bent, not Broken

The dogs were big, the dogs were scary, the dogs were fast, but they were incapable of changing direction as quickly as a human being who could reach out, grab onto something, and pivot around it as if they hated their shoulder with a fiery passion and were just begging it to become dislocated.
- Life After

No one said, "Jinx." No one owed anyone a soda. Things were too dire for that.
- Graduation 1.5

     An underground robot fight club wasn't technically illegal. It wasn't technically legal, either. It was in a technical gray area that involved subterranean rights disputes, definitions of pets, anti-dog-fighting laws, the push and pull between the desire to stimulate innovation and the desire to clamp down on sensitive technology, baroque restrictions on AI, strange interpretations of what it meant to corrupt minors, the '93 Tri-City Skate Park Accords, SV-288, the UN Accord on Non-Human Workers' Rights, the precise definition of “person” at any given moment, a semi-secret agreement between NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries following the industrial mishap of '82, whether or not certain people were within 500 meters as the crow flies, what “as the crow flies” means when discussing underground tunnels, which judge was hearing the case, who had been bribed by whom, and the brand of root beer the eventual jury was given access to.
     There was a reason attendance was by invitation only.

It would be the third sentence of the first paragraph (the sentence that goes
on forever) that I was looking at.  The other three are provided for context
