Every forum has them! Well, maybe not every forum, but don't be so pedantic. This is all fun, of course, nothing official. Just thought I'd do it to spark off some thought and some discussion. You, the members of YWS, will get to nominate who you think most deserves the said category. You can only nominate ONE person/piece per category. You can send your nominations to me via PM or e-mail. However, if you e-mail me, please put down your username in the post and title the e-mail something like "YWS Awards Nominees". My e-mail is jackpdent@gmail.com. DO NOT post your nominees in this topic. Or I will hunt you down and attack you with this very large pointey stick grasped in my left hand. Any replies for this topic are for questions only, which I will attempt to answer. Although it is pretty straightforward. Onto the categories: Best Overall Member - This is the person who can be your favourite member at the site, the one you think does the most for the site, the one who writes the best, the one who you like the most, or a combination of all of these. Funniest Member - Pretty self-explanatory - the member who makes you laugh the most. Most Helpful Member/Friendliest Member - Who made you feel at home? Who told you how to do something you didn't understand? Who has always been kind to you? Nominate the person you think is the kindest member. Best Reviewer of Prose - The person you believe gives the most honest, easy-to-understand, not overly critical, who gives you areas to improve for prose (eg. stories) Best Reviewer of Poetry - The person you believe reviews or critiques poetry the best on the site. Best Poet - The person whose poetry you enjoy the most. Best Writer - The member whose stories and articles you like reading the most. Member You’d Most Like to Shoot - Err....yeh. Who annoys you? Who makes you want to hit the screen? Not being mean, but there are always people you don't always get on with. So who would you like to shoot the most? Best Moderator - Out of the moderators, who do you think does their job most fairly and competently? Best Story - Quite simply, your favourite story or article you have seen on YWS and the author. Best Poem - Basically your favourite poem on YWS, and the author please. Best Off-Topic Topic - Heh, nice name, eh? The best topic on the site that has nothing to do with writing. Spam Master (a.k.a. Most Overly Active Member) - The person who you think just posts way too much. Best Debater - The person you believe presents their views, ideas and opinions in the best way on the discussion boards (or otherwise..) Best Lyricist - The person you believe who writes the best lyrics. Best Artist - Do I need to explain? The person who draws/paints/creates the best art in your honest opinion. Best Usergroup - In your opinion, the best usergroup in existence YWS. Best Blog - The blog you like visiting the most or the blog that makes you think, makes you sad, makes you happy etc Best Avatar - Which member's avatar do you like the best? Nominate! Note, you ARE allowed to nominate yourself (not that I condone it, as it is rather arrogant, but hey, no one will know except me). After I have enough nominations (I'll decide when) I will close the nomination process and me and some judges I feel like selecting will decide who rightfully gets to win the specific award. Don't worry, I'll be impartial (I promise!) and if not, the other people will slap me into shape. So, get nominating! (BY THE WAY, you don't have to nominate for EVERY category if you don't want)* *I was going to make a Sexiest Member category for each gender but common sense prevailed.

Anybody who hasn't nominated, do so NOW!

You have just under one day to do so.

One hour and a half to go!

I'll probably post the nominees up tonight, and the winners in a few days, just to whet your appetitie

I haven't decided. I might post the nominees with the winners, or at a seperate time. I think nominees first might build up the tension a little, like at the Oscars or something, teehee.

I'm sitting here, trying to figure out if that's good showmenship, or just being plain evil.

I wrote the above just for you.

I think maybe it's both. I can hardly wait to see who will be on the lists.

Please, sit down before you fall down.

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.
