[Ingrid Barnes]

Character of the Month
Nomination: Dimitri Spade
Reasons: He's ridiculously adorable and everything Jennybird writes about him just screams cute. I may also be biased because his thread with Ingrid is somewhat heart wrenching.

Member of the Month
Nomination: Jam
Reasons: Because Jared and Zac are fantastic, and Jam's a doll for putting up with Emma so much.

Relationship of the Month
Nomination: James and Ginny - Father and Daughter
Reasons: In a lot of rps I've seen, parents and their children tend to ignore each other at best. So its very refreshing to see a family actually get along so lovingly.

Thread of the Month
Nomination: Someday, Right Now
Reasons: I have a soft spot for familial relationships and nothing says family more then a father and daughter. Zac intruding-and flirting shamelessly with Ginny- doesn't hurt it either.

[Fifi Hart]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Joshua Bernstien
Reasons: He JUST NEEDS TO WIN. In poker night he's the hilarious drunk-way-too-fast guy. In Wild Woods he's the victim. In his other threads he's a strong-willed, intelligent man who sticks to his convictions. I love Josh and I really want him to get the recognition he deserves.

...Also part of it may be guilt. >.> The Twins did break his ribs.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Cobalt/Sean :: Dislike/Antagonistic
Reasons: Two of the biggest Teddy Bears on Hammel (...Cobalt is! ON THE INSIDE!!) and what do they do when they get together? Heartily dislike each other. I like seeing the effects they have on each other, particularly in the context of Josh. They both care so much about him, that it actually almost drives them to hate each other!

I like that Sean makes Cobalt furious, and the Cobalt makes Sean furious. Those are sides of these men we don't really see.

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Penny
Reasons: Though she hasn't been on much recently, due to some computer problems, Pen is a really valuable member to this site. She has two characters that are so uplifting its impossible to be sad when I read them, and one more who always makes me snicker. Her writing is phenomenal, her sarcasm in the CBOX is gut busting, and she really REALLY thinks out her character...feels them and understands them beyond anything I've ever seen anyone do. She's really amazing.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: No Yelling in the Library!
Reasons: Heh. What a funny situation. This is just a refreshing break from all the heavy shit my characters are involved in.

[Cobalt Weaver]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Joshua Bernstein
Reasons: Aside from the fact that I'm totally in love with him? Right. Not only is he a wonderful, optimistic and idealistic individual that I find utterly delightful to read or write with, he's also undergoing a really fascinating crisis of faith. He's gotten beat down, he's been hilariously drunk, he's a best friend... I could go on and on for days about why I love Josh, but I'll stop here.

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Dryope
Reasons: Dryope has continued to be one of the most helpful, encouraging and patient people I've ever written with ever. She's understanding of my craziness, she's helpful and all her characters are utterly delightful. She's a very talented writer who clearly loves being here and is so supportive of the crazy new people who follow her around *shifty eyes*

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Josh/Sean: best friends/romantic
Reasons: Talk about your devotion. Sean's willing to step in front of a gestalt pair for Josh. With a nine-iron. Clearly you don't mess with Josh around Sean. But other than that, I love the quiet rapport these two characters have and their best-friend-kind-of-still-in-love-ness that basically runs their interactions.

Nomination Category:Thread of the Month
Nomination:Girl Time
Reasons:I love awkward heart-to-hearts, pseudo science and both Clarisse and Midori! This thread is sweet, awkward, and really fun to read. But oh man, Darryl's going to get his ass kicked. >.>

[Riley Adams]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Cobalt Weaver
Reasons: He makes me smile, laugh and he entertains me. Not much else to it than that

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Dryope
Reasons: She introduced me to Hammel and she's constantly supportive and I luff her.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Josh/Sean: Best friends and something else?
Reasons: After being pointed out the fact that Josh and Sean have a more complex relationship than has been written out, for me their dynamic is pretty out of the ordinary. There are underlying tones to their friendship and I think they're definitely one of the best relationships I've ever been invested in so far

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: TBA
Reasons: TBA

[Ginny Campbell]

ZOMG I am actually doing noms this month. It's a miracle!

Nomination Category: Character of the month
Nomination: Avery Sainsbury
Reasons: Avery is just too sweet and adorable! She has a very girl-next-door vibe that puts her at odds with a lot of the quirkier Hammel students, but she's willing to accommodate and can hold her own against most anyone she interacts with.

Nomination Category: Member of the month
Nomination: Kiki
Reasons: She plays two very different women, but both are complex and interesting individuals. Also, she's always quick to respond to new plot ads and to make sure that new members aren't left out.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the month
Nomination: RC, Jean and Conrad Manne (brothers)
Reasons: They are SO cute together. RC's attempts to keep Jean out of trouble and Jean's attempts to "help" RC be cooler are just so adorable. And the way both Jean and RC look up to Conrad and accept his questions about school work because they want to impress their cool older brother...yeah, I just love their whole dynamic.

Nomination Category: Thread of the month
Nomination: New Arrival: Dalton, At Your Service!
Reasons: L.C.'s teenage surliness always amuses me, and Lani responding to her needling with equal amounts of surliness while being utterly shocked at how patiently and respectfully Dalton treats him entertains me to no end.

Hey, guys, just a heads up. As great as "The Wild Woods" is, it was started in September and isn't eligible for TotM this month.

[Jared Park]

Better late than never, right? =P

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Stephen Gage
Reasons: Who doesn’t love cuddly the Stephen? I have never seen a character receive so much love ever since he was created. And it’s just funny how most women he meets (minor or not) falls head over heels for him. XD.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: Thread Roulette: RC, Jean and Avery
Reasons: RC and Jean really stole my heart in this thread. Like super. They’re just so awesome together. They ‘solidified’ their ‘sibling’ status for me in this thread (i.e. they really showed me how awesome them being brothers is really, not that I doubted it anyway).^^.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Clarisse-Darryl-Midori ==>Awkward “Love” Triangle or something?
Reasons: I love how intertwined the lives of the three are. It’s so dramatic that it’s fun. That and I am still waiting for the day Clarisse goes all She-Hulk on Darryl. (Sorry Darryl. >.<).

[Dr. Sean Neville]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Jacob Dalton
Reasons: He's an older character, which always scores points with me. He's complex and interesting, and I eagerly read all of his threads (and look forward to threading with him).

Nomination Category: Player of the Month
Nomination: Urchin
Reasons: She's wonderful and friendly, and her characters crack me up. She always has wild ideas and I love her.
