Lucky Number Seven

bridgetmkennittLucky Number Seven is a new NPT event for the 2015 and beyond rounds. It boils down to an easy and straightforward fashion in rewarding the people who went above and beyond the past three years by writing treats, pinch hits, and Hiatus fics by allowing them to vote for five megafandoms that will be eligible for NPT's 2015 round (the last two will be chosen by mod). Voting is completely optional though if you currently aren't eligible for voting, you can do so by writing a Hiatus fic and uploading it to the Hiatus Resolution collection. Here is a list of requests from 2014's participants.
If you wish to be eligible for voting, you have until February 28, 2015 to write a Hiatus fic (completed, in English, over 1000 words). The megafandom list will lock earlier in January instead of April. If you are currently on the banned list, you would have to write two Hiatus fics in order to a) become eligible for NPT and b) become eligible for voting. If you defaulted on your primary assignment and took up a pinch hit to replace it, you would have to write a Hiatus fic in order to be eligible for voting if you never wrote a treat or wrote a second pinch hit.
Once voting begins, those eligible will have 3 votes each to use on fandoms on the megafandom list. The votes can be used either a) all 3 votes on one fandom, b) 1 vote each for three individual fandoms, or c) any method in between. Voting will take place from March 8, 2015 to March 14, 2015 and results will be announced a couple of days later. Of the five megafandoms that get chosen, 1 must be an anime/manga fandom and 1 must be a television show fandom, so all 5 fandoms cannot be movie fandoms (as an example).
I am choosing the remaining two megafandoms to equal seven megafandoms altogether into NPT. As I no longer sign up, it honestly doesn't have to be fandoms I like or fandoms I know so I will see how voting falls before choosing.
Remember that just because a megafandom gets voted into eligibility for that year, it doesn't mean that they are automatically in a tag set. Someone has to nominate the fandom and its characters into the 2015 tag set.
As Lucky Number Seven is new, I don't know how the results will fall. Take for example Teen Wolf. It was eligible in 2012, but no one nominated it, and then it was barely written for in 2013. A lot of the other megafandoms were already ineligible by the time NPT began in 2012 so how they'd fall in terms of people voting is up in the air. Nothing is set in stone as there are plenty of variables in the mix (pool of general voters, whether or not an eligible voter even votes, how a voter uses their 3 votes, etc).
