The Frankie Awards! Nominations.

[karpeth]

F - Giz. Without her humour, I wouldn't be here.
R - LSD has got to have the best risque humour in the world.
A - Alisonchan has the most intriguing style of paintings.
N - Marque'd is the most nom-worthy forumite, by far. I love his voice and his style.
K - I nominate Pneu, as the most cryptic multileveled story got me caught
I - T2B is the calmest, most understanding, openminded moderator the world has ever known.
E - Asaryu is one of the most caring persons of the forum.

[Nibler]

Phew, hard to choose one for each <.<

F - Fun DnE: for making many of the funny posts that kept me coming back here back when I was a lurker. Honorable mentions: Don, Asaryu, Alison
R - Risque: Asaryu: for the obvious reason, and for being awesomely flirty. Honorable mentions: Tenjen and DnE
A - Artistry: Alison: not only for the awesome art she has shown of here, but also because she seems like a very creative and artsy person. Honorable mentions: JVDifferent, Giz and Dave.
N - Noms: weird category, but LSD I guess, for same reasons others mention.
K - Kilo-post: haven't read all of them, so ill abstain.
I - Inspiring: T2B: for trying(and most of the time successfully) to cheer everyone up. Honorable mentions: I could list many many people here, but some that comes to mind are Asaryu, Alison, Thaladin, Tenjen etc.
E - Exemplary: DnE: for being an all-around good guy that seem to genuinely care about the forumite's and the atmosphere here. Honorable mentions: T2B, LSD, Asaryu, Retiarius

At first I wasn’t going to make any nominations, because it was too difficult to pick. Everyone here is so wonderful. But after thinking long and hard about it, I decided it was more important to make sure I recognized those who I thought had done something special or amazing. So, without further ado...

FUN: I nominate Don Alexander. From my very first day here, he has made me smile over and over again — he is such a goofball, and full of wonderful jokes. Even on a bad day, he brings a certain special kind of liveliness to the forum that makes me delight in seeing him online. Special mentions to Alisonchan and Lollipop Cuts, for their bright, vivacious and cheerful personalities.

RISQUE: For this, I nominate Morwen. While she hasn’t, to my knowledge, discussed anything particularly risqué, she is a very playful woman and I know she loves to hoard us all for her personal harem. Additionally, she’s in an open relationship and has occasionally made mention of her presumably many sexual exploits. Special mentions to Asaryu and zgwortz, for reasons that should be obvious.

ARTISTRY: I nominate Dirty n Evil. I realize he hasn’t posted any artwork (as far as I am aware) but that wasn’t the entire scope of what Bear claimed this category could cover. No, I’m nominating him because I read his Kilopost Fanfic, and was impressed by his literary skill. It was indeed rather long, but it was written quite masterfully. Special mentions to Alisonchan and JVDifferent, who both have absolutely amazing skill and creativity.

NOMS: I nominate Bear, for his love of all things Bailey’s and bacon. Special mentions to Teacher2B and LadySheDevil.

KILOPOST: I nominate, once again, Pneumonica. As this has been done once before, I assume I need not explain my line of reasoning on this one. Special mentions to, naturally, Don Alexander. Do I really have to explain this one either?

INSPIRING: Alisonchan. Just... Alisonchan. I have previously stated myself to be absolutely in awe of her; and this is entirely true. I have never met anyone so brave, so caring and loving, so bubbly and optimistic... She may be right, in that aspiring to be like her is a bit absurd. But she is really a true heroine to me, and I look up to her. Special mentions to Asaryu, for being such a confident and compassionate young lady. Like Alisonchan, I have great admiration for her.

EXEMPLARY: I nominate Dirty n Evil. The other mods are equally deserving, but DnE stands out to me: he is very dedicated to the good of the forum as a whole, a kind and caring individual with a goofy personality that always makes us laugh. I think he’s absolutely wonderful as a mod and as a friend to the rest of us. Special mentions go to Teacher2B and Bear, for being such amazing mods as well; and also to the resident Elder Geek, for his polite and caring nature.

[Phoenix]

No fruit here. If he's a changed person, then so be it. Can't say fairer than that.

[Alisonchan]

*a tiny piglet wearing goggles parachutes down on Phoenix's head and fires off a pop-gun, which shoots out a tiny flag that says:* YAY!

[JaS]

I don't know all of you very well but I am going to attempt to nominate anyways.
Fun- Cyanide_Sweet because well I know her the best and she is one of my funnest friends. Is funnest even a word?
Risque- Ithilion because he seems to have a harem of ladies.
Artistry- JVDifferent her drawings are unique and talented.
Noms- LadySheDevil because she appears to be the best cook here
Kilopost- Don Alexander. I am afraid of the elder cave but I creep it occasionally. His mclovecraft one was great.
Inspiring- Asaryu as she seems to be always nice and just an honest person!
Exemplary- Phoenix, I dont know him that well but he seems friendly to everyone.

[Tenjen]

*a tiny piglet wearing goggles parachutes down on Phoenix's head and fires off a pop-gun, which shoots out a tiny flag that says:* YAY!

gets poked in the eye by the tiny flag*

WAAAAAAURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

[Asaryu]

I'd like to amend my nomination to give a special mention to Sideways Platypus for Risque

[karpeth]

I'm siding with asaryu. Sorry LSD.

[Tenjen]

IT was certainly spontaneous and unexpected a meneuver.

[Don Alexander]

I'm almost ashamed I forgot this special mention:

Peppercat in the FUN category: Her sneaky ninja minion antics have elicited many a joyous squeeeeeee! from this here old Sithlord...

Edit: Spelling typo. Though I wonder if "her old Sithlord" was a Freudian slip

[zgwortz]

Originally I was thinking I'd need to nominate different people for each category, but honestly, there are people here who deserve multiple categories, so I went with the people I thought best for each one.

F - Fun - Don - This was a tough one with lots of options, but Don has been driving fun around here all the way back to the beginning. (Special mention to Asaryu for the Bubbliebaff...)

R - Risque - Asaryu - For being naked and doing interesting things with tentacles in the elder cave, for her interesting social life, and for making her pillow very happy. (Special mention to SP who almost stole this away at the last minute with her recent picture.)

A - Artistry - Alisonchan - There's some awesome art here - we need to see more of it. (Special mention to Java for bondage angel Zii, particularly the NSFW version. We need to see more of that too. )

N - Noms - Teacher2B - Makes yummy Noms... (Apologies to LSD because I'm not a Bailey's fan - otherwise she'd have been in the running. )

K - Kilo-post - Don - The McLovecrafts kilo-post is probably my favorite yet (Special mention to Bear for The Night Before Bear-Mas...)

I - Inspiring - Asaryu - This was a tough call, but I think what decided it for me isn't just the inspiring posts she's made, but the fact that she exists at all gives me hope that there are more like her out there... ;) (Special mention to Alisonchan who has also inspired me in many ways, including giving me the idea to drag the moonbounce into the Elder Cave...)

E - Exemplary - Teacher2B - for herding cats, and staying cool while doing it. (Special mention to DnE -- this was a very close tossup)

[Sideb(.)(.)bPlatypus]

F - Fun: I nominate Alisonchan for Fun because many of her comments and stories have cracked me up...the griffin-that-was-really-a-dog-and-vulture, for one, and once again I am so sorry for laughing at that, but I have a strange sense of humor ^^;;
Honorable Mentions: Cyanide, Peppercat, LSD

R - Risque: I nominate Tenjen for Risque because one of the first posts of his that I can remember involved something about a sausage
Honorable Mentions: Asaryu, Morwen

A - Artistry: I'll have to skip this one, I unfortunately haven't been to the Art thread enough to make a decision.

N - Noms: I nominate LSD for Noms for the obvious Bailey's creation reasons (although it was very close between LSD and T2B, I pretty much ended up doing "eeny-meeny-miney-mo" )
Honorable Mention: T2B

K - Kilo-post: I nominate Don Alexander for Kilo-post because of his McLovecraft's fic
Honorable Mentions: Bear, Phoenix, LSD

I - Inspiring: I nominate Alisonchan for Inspiring because of her unchanging character, even in the worst situations.
Honorable Mentions: Asaryu, T2B

E - Exemplary: I nominate Bear for Exemplary, because he was the first mod and I am a suckup
Honorable Mentions: T2B, DNE

[Tenjen]

ah yes. The time i fellated a large frankfurter as a joke for my best friend and i got seriously food poisoned cause it was very well expired >>..

[Peppercat]

Fun - Don, cause, well, I think he's funny
Risque - Morwen.
Art - Alison, for her amazing job with Bear's cave. Though I almost called a tie with Dryope, who was our first artist and did many of our portraits. Thought of Lava too =)
Noms - a tie! LSD, for her hard (and yummy!) work in our kitchen, and SidewaysPlatypus, for the Chtulu Fries
Kilo- Don, for his McLovecraft's fic.
Iinspiring- Asaryu, cause she's someone who stands up for others and is not afraid to speak her mind.
Exemplary- Bear, cause he works hard and puts up with us everyday.
