Nomination Category:
Thread of the Month
Nomination:
Identity Theft
Reasons:
Well DUH. The thread is short but sweet and amazing. Anything with Vincent is a surefire win, and the fact that the thread gave me all sorts of inappropriate thoughts about James and Chase (mostly Chase, but you guys already know that) made it all the more EPIC. ^^.

Nomination Category:
Relationship of the Month
Nomination:
John Thornton – L.C. Milliner = ???
Reasons:
ZOMG. So ominous are we? The mere fact that their relationship is there but we just can’t place what it is speaks volumes about how awesome these two are. From the moment these two met in the training rooms, I knew there was something. It’s just…urgh. I’m rambling and spazzing. Haha. I’m sure Zac won’t approve, but who cares? GO THORNINER! <3.

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Jam
Reasons: Because all of Jam's characters are so different, yet so fun to read in their own ways. And...I'm no good at coming up with well put together reasons...

[Josef Muller]

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Nu
Reasons: Nu is sweet and adorable and she's always willing to thread or help think up thread ideas. That, and she has totally awesome characters.

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Thomas Lajole
Reasons: I think he's hysterical and...that's about it? And he does his journal and posts in colored markers. I love it.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Jared and Jordan--Rivals
Reasons: I know, I know. I'm threading with them, but I am endlessly entertained by what these two characters get up to together and how little they can get along. Two such sweet characters hate each other sooo much! It's bizarrely entertaining.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: TIME WARP: Lean on me
Reasons: I love the interaction between the two siblings and Janice's stubbornness. They're so sweet.

[Cobalt Weaver]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Leila Gold
Reasons: SHUT UP OKAY. She's heartbreaking </3 and even though she's going through a rough time, she finds the strength to handle it well, boss her friends around, and not break down all over the place. She is funny, strong and sassy. And I love her, okay?

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Sara/Lugonzbi
Reasons: Because she's awesome. B| She's also perpetually positive, cheerful, talks to everyone in the cbox, and is pretty much game for any thread ever. She has adorable, very active characters and is so much fun to thread with and plan threads with.

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

Nomination Category:Thread of the Month
Nomination: Weep, Little Lion Man
Reasons: ALREADY IS THE CUTE. I cannot think of what could be cuter than three of the cutest men watching a movie and drinking tea. Also there is a goat.

[Dr. Sean Neville]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Danny Silverman
Reasons:His naivete is refreshing, and his gentle spirit is much appreciated. Also, I salute him for the fact that he found a way to turn his long-term hobby into a lucrative career.

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Chez
Reasons: She is a wonderful person, a caring individual, a great deal of fun in the C-Box, an inspiration to us all, and her characters are all so varied and exciting. She's also willing to make characters for other people which is invaluable to the community, and she threads with everyone.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Morgan Tonaya and Anya Vasiliev - Friends/Budding Romance
Reasons: I've been waiting for this relationship since last summer, and now that the friendship is blossoming, I am happy. They have a gentle, sweet chemistry, and Anya does well mothering Morgan, who is in need of as much as he can get post-attack.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: Bakery for the Blind
Reasons: Relating to my nomination for relationship of the month, Anya and Morgan are so relaxed around one another. It is a joy to read, and they both need the happiness.

[Elaine Tonaya]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Haley Shapiro
Reasons: She's a tiny, snarky individual who barged onto the scene and won't take crap from anyone. In addition, I like her name and like to think of her as someday becoming an elf. <.<

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Sean
Reasons: He's willing to put up with a bunch of hyperactive n00bs and keeps calm even in dire circumstances, such as a battle in the cbox. And he's a penguin.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Cobalt Weaver and Benjamin Rhodes - Lovers
Reasons: Barfy love that we've all been waiting for and has finally come into existence. Also maturity. And awkwardness. And potentially a slight bias on my part.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: A Nice Day For a Sulk
Reasons: It's the dork troop. And now they're finally in for a bad time, and watching them try to sort out their emotions without actually talking about them is hilarious to me. Even if all I really want to do is go in and whap them over the heads.

[Fifi Hart]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Leila Gold
Reasons: Leila sort of snuck up on everyone. She was first just the snarky female in the old man club, collecting them like spoons. THEN she exploded her liver. Penpen has really taken Leila to new heights and proven that even pretty people have problems <3

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Neki
Reasons: Neki has really jumped into the fray: she's making graphics, she's posting up a storm, and she's growing a lot in her writing. Additionally, Neki makes a point of branching out and playing with as many people as she, as witness by her Pondside Bonfire idea (which I totally love!) I really hope Neki's trend continues in the form of party style threads. Rock on~!

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Sakhmet Richmond and Delilah Pryce- Friends and Housemates
Reasons: For one, the girls need some love and appreciation. For two THESE GIRLS especially need some love and appreciation. Seeing Delilah so...NORMAL after the Showdown is really refreshing. This brings me too...

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: Energize and Enliven
Reasons: Pretty much for the reasons listed above. Its really nice to see these two ladies interacting and having so much fun! Plus I love Delilah >.>

[Raena *]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Evan Brackett
Reasons: I love Evan. He's just awkward and adorable and he gets stuck in walls and all that other good stuff. He's an engaging character and I'm always looking for more of him. <3

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Jamesy!
Reasons: Well it goes hand-in-hand with my previous nomination! But it's not only that, James is a wonderful person. She's always a pleasant person to talk to, she's patient and clever and obviously has amazing skills, not just with writing but drawing and video making as well!

[Clarity Ryder]

Nomination Category:
Relationship of the Month
Nomination:
Misato Hazukashi and Vincent Verax -- Romantic
Reasons:
Okay, so this relationship has gone for a while, but they just got back together and, despite Vin's serious... Vin-ness, the threads circling their relationship made me laugh and D'AWWW.


Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Gabriel and Uriel Raines
Reasons:
Because for one thing, we were craving this. All of us. We wanted one of two things: a new Gestalt pair for the student body or {B} someone played by those lovely twins that everyone kept saying "One of you guys ought to use them". What is amazing is what happened with this character: they were not only both of the things we wanted, but they were fun and amazing personalities that make people want to thread way more than is healthy.
I would go on, but I'm afraid I may put at least three paragraphs of why I believe that Gabriel and Uriel should have this month's title of Character of the Month.


Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination:
Herl
Reasons:
Okay, so I generally wouldn't nominate someone for this one, but when two thirds of your characters were made for other people, and they still function separately as, you know, playable characters? You deserve at least a nomination for that. And then there's the activity factor. Boy, did Herl's characters spam this place up! I realized recently that a nice chunk of the threads I was stalking have one of Herl's characters in it.
And there's another reason, but I'm not all that articulate at the moment. <<

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: Time Warp: Who Knew?
Reasons:
So I couldn't stop laughing in a manner that I must have learned from you people, because I just keep picturing... Well, look at the concept. It's Zac's Bachelor party. At a strip club. The only thing that would make it better was if one of the idiot boys men decided to go nude night-swimming.

[Matthew Waylan]

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Rhett and Talon, just plain confusing relationship
Reasons: This is so awkward and confusing its so awfully cute. The two have no a clue what they are doing and this is something that is just right for both of them. The fact that both are so confused and so obstinate about not knowing what is going on makes it all the much cuter. Plus whenever I read these two I have so many "fangirl" moments it is not even funny. Anyone in the cbox knows. Just ask.
