Nominations!

Calling all members! We need your nominations for the Of The Month awards! Have you seen an awesome character lurking the forums? How about a thread you just can’t stop reading? Or a journal you keep coming back to? Nominate it here! We’re looking for nominations for all categories:

Character of the Month – Straightforward. Nominate the character you think deserves it for this month. Who was awesome? Who did something significant? As of now, Etch's, Pam's, Faraday's, Lux's, Maggie's, Sydnee's, Elsinore's, and Abe's characters are all off limits, as they’ve won in the past eight months.

Member of the Month – Again, pretty easy, right? Toss up the name of your favorite member. Remember, Maggie, Ophelia, Pam, Lurker, Izy, Emily, Splatt, and Abe are off-limits for nominations. So is everyone on staff.

Relationship of the Month – Anything goes here! Friends, romance, enemies, anything! You cannot nominate:
Dominique Chevaliar and Erik Stewart - Romance
Carleigh Davidson and Lucy Serrano - 100% Bangable
Lucy Serrano and Penelope Blaise - Feisty Fiances
Marnie Sullivan and Karalie Heise - Friends
Rodrigo Santos and Sydney Emerson - Stage One of a Romantic Comedy
Milan Myles and Sienna Reid-Estrada - Friends
Maebelle Davis and Kieron Sharple - Romantic Dorks
Sean Neville and Joshua Bernstein - Multiverse OTP

Thread of the Month – Any and all threads that were started after the last round of OTMs are eligible!

Journal of the Month – We will not be nominating for Journal OTM this month. All eligible journals will be included in the poll in four days. Eligible journals were posted in during the past month and have not won in the past eight months.

Event Thread of the Month – All Thread Roulette threads that were started after the last round of OTMs are eligible (which is to say all Thread Roulette threads from the June randomization.)

All we ask is that you fill out this nifty little code thing for us. Only one nomination per category, per person, ‘kay?

If you are nominating a thread, put a link in your nomination.

Please do not double-nominate. If the person/character/whatever you were planning on is already nominated, recognize someone else for their contribution. Do not self-nominate in any category.

Also, if you do not list a relationship category for your ROTM nomination, Sean will make one up on the spot.

[Grady Mitchellson]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Hunter and Terrence Park
Reasons: What's better than one fun-loving, trouble-maker? A pair of fun-loving, trouble-makers of course! Especially a gestalt pair. And Doro does a great job of handling the pair and their abilities' development.

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Sky
Reasons: Not only is she a wonderful person to brighten your day or help out in the c-box, but she writes amazing and diverse characters. She really cares about developing them and their relationships in a way that feels real and produces all the feels!

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Devon Wentsworth and Midori Hawkins
Reasons: The feeeelz. These two writers have taken the time to develop this relationship and it shows. As much as I want to shove them into "happily ever after" land, I enjoy that the writers are careful not to make everything perfect between these two either. 

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: You and I Could Be Like Honey and Bears
Reasons: A fan girl and Pocky, what more could you ask for? Seriously though I'm excited to see where Apple and Apollo take these two. Also poor Gryphon's ear drums.

Nomination Category: Event Thread of the Month
Nomination:Thread Roulette: Easy Money
Reasons: Cookie Doughnuts? I'm sold. This is a fun premise and I'm sure this cast will be up to the task.

[Rhys Freeman]

Nomination Category: Member of the Month 
Nomination: Etchasketch 
Reasons: Though she has not been the most active writer on the site lately, she has made cbox a fun place to be. She's often in there, shooting off random pictures of cats or simply making us smile by being her charming self. Hammel would be a more boring place without her ♥ Also she often catches little things on the site that need fixing and brings it to the attention of those who can remedy that. Three cheers for Etch! 

[Finn Eogeum]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Oriel Vanguard
Reasons: Mr. Vanbutt has actually gone through a lot of development over time, and as a person, he's slowly coming to terms with his life and what he can do with it, despite the circumstances he finds himself in. Considering how bad he's been, Oriel is really improving, and I have to applaud him for his efforts (and for Pheli for the way she writes him <3). Just grand.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: I'm New Here
Reasons: These two, Aerina and Sophie, are both new to Hammel, and they interact in the sweetest way. They both seem to be nervous about their futures here and talking to one another seems to be distracted themselves from that. They're cute. I like it. I want more.

Nomination Category: Event Thread of the Month
Nomination: Thread Roulette: Sober
Reasons: Okay so not much has happened quite yet but the premise of this itself is hilarious and I find myself giggling at the first posts like, they seem so sad and that makes me so happy. A-tee-hee-hee.

Nomination Category: Member
Nomination: Faraday
Reasons: She's back and ready for plotting! She already been very active on the boards since her return, and a delight in the cbox. We've been plotting and I'm already excited over the ideas we have, they make me smile. XD

Nomination Category: Character
Nomination: Lilly Love
Reasons: I love Live. She reminds me of a female Oriel, anger issues and all. I hope to see more of her, yup.

Nomination Category: Thread
Nomination: It Can Always Get Worse - Winter Rowley and Erik Stewert
Reasons: Winter has a broken car and Erik has the knowledge to assess. Then comes the big question regarding Erik's graduation status. I'm not sure where this thread is going exactly, but Day and Kelly are both phenomenal writers so I'm certain it's going to be done beautifully. Also I'm happy to see Erik and Winter both active on the boards again, they make me smile.

Nomination Category: Event Thread
Nomination: Thread Roulette: Baby Grand - Stefan and Rhys
Reasons: Any thread that starts with "And of course Stefan was drunk, very drunk" ought to be good. Also, he's doing business in an alley, which by itself is hilarious!

[Dr. Sean Neville]

Nomination Category: Character of the Month
Nomination: Sophia Foster
Reasons: K is new to Hammel, but she's hit the ground running with Sophia, of whom I'm already fond. She's young, recently manifested, and trying to make sense of a new environment.

Nomination Category: Member of the Month
Nomination: Brenna
Reasons: Brenna has been great since she returned to Hammel after a long absence. Everything she's done with Lilly has been great so far, but her latest achievement is her idea for a Pilot Ridge Pride Parade, which should be a lot of fun.

Nomination Category: Relationship of the Month
Nomination: Alanna Darlington and Jasper Blackwater - Friends
Reasons: Both Faraday and Kelly have returned to activity, which means that Alanna and Jasper are having threads together again. This, in turn, means I get to enjoy reading their interactions again.

Nomination Category: Thread of the Month
Nomination: Happy F-cking Father's Day
Reasons: Mads and Abe are both great writers, and this thread involves a lot of the character development that Jesse has underwent in the past several years. I encourage everyone to read this thread.

Nomination Category: Event Thread of the Month
Nomination: Thread Roulette: Breakfast Club
Reasons: I might be the person who will enjoy this thread more than anyone else, entirely because, through Sean, I'm the one who does the most detention assignments. Now the characters get to write out what they've earned through their behavior. I'm filled with glee.
