It's a miracle I remembered to do this at all, honestly. I kept meaning to get to it, but would then forget soon afterwards. I guess some people clearly need to learn what "No time like the present," means, haha.

Spoiler! :
Best Story: @Ventomology is the author of this. I could pick several stories, but I'll probably go with Conics, Unfortunately. If only I'd actually get around to reviewing it. :smt064

Best Poem: —

Best Storybook: Allow me to indulge my ego and nominate Pokémon: New Horizon. Having said that, @Omnom's Shattered Moons and @soundofmind's The Outlands are currently the longest active storybooks, so either of them totally deserve to win! (I'm still voting for my own SB, though. XD)

Best Avatar: @EverLight! I had other candidates in mind, but my bias coupled with the sheer perfectness of Umbreon and Espeon spending Christmas together made this an instant decision.

Best Club: The Roleplay Geeks founded by @Featherstone! What else?

Best YWS Event: RevMo! If only because it's the one time in the year that I'm most likely to be motivated to review.

Best Knowledge Base Resource: Title Capitalization by @GoldFlame! It might seem like a silly vote, sure, but it's the only one I remember looking up multiple times. You'd be surprised how many people don't know how title case works.

Best Off-topic Thread: —

Best Reviewer of Prose: —

Best Reviewer of Poetry: —

Best Poet: I haven't read any of his poems, but probably @TheSilverFox! (Your reputation precedes you, my friend. :wink:)

Best Prose-writer: @Ventomology! She might disagree with me, but output matters as much as quality.

Best Lyricist: —

Best Artist: @Wolfical!

Best Scriptwriter: Does @Elinor have any competition? :P

Best Storybooker: Oof, definitely not me; I've been way too inactive. Based off activity, consistency, and score on the SB Badge leaderboard, it can only be @Jaybird.

YWS Clown: @Sheyren. I mean... potatoes? Llama gods?

YWS Spy: @ScarlettFire! She's been lurking since before most of us were on here.

Most Spirited: For reasons even she might not know, @JabberHut!

Most Chatty: @Chaser (I'm being ironic :P)

Most Helpful: @Jaybird, no questions asked.

Most Likely to Have Their Christmas Decorations up All Year Long: @TinkerTwaggy, for reasons he'd get if he ever thought about it. XD

Most Likely to Be Published: I'll withhold judgement until I've actually reviewed something again. XD

Most Likely Rita Skeeter (or Most Omnipresent Journalist): @BluesClues! She's been connected to Squills for forever, she's been connected to people for forever, and she has an impressive network of contacts.

Most Likely to Be the YWS Gossip Girl: @Gravity, if only because she made an SB of the same name. ;P

Most Likely to Like This Post: @Jaybird, without a doubt.

Most Likely to Take over the World: Captain @Rydia, of course! I mean, she already has?

Most Likely to Finish a Book Series in a Day: —

Most Prolific Writer: @Ventomology, because damn, she's the only person I know who works on numerous ideas at once and is forever coming up with more, yet still manages to finish her novels.

Most Likely to Already Have a Different Username from What You Want to Tag Them With: Most likely @fraey, though they've mercifully kept their username the same for a while. But don't ask me what it was before this one. XD

Most Likely Able to Do Magic: @Iggy, because I still remember her fireballs when I first joined.

Most Likely to Get a Friend to Join YWS: @TheMaieuticMesmerist. He's a legacy candidate, since he could tell brilliant stories and is the reason I'm here.

Most Likely to Show up to a Write-in: —
But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
— Paul the Apostle

Winter is inevitable. Spring will return eventually, and AstralHunter with it.

Congrats all! Now I feel bad because I forgot to put in my votes. I’m legit surprised I got best prose reviewer since I rarely review prose and I know there’s better reviewers out there, but I’m honored nonetheless.
