The Frankie Awards! Discussion.
EDIT: This is now the discussion thread for the Frankie Awards. Please try to keep all chatter and comments concerning them in here.
*Comes out on stage, carrying a little gold envelope and proceeds to the microphone... Taps it a few times* Attention... attention all... Soon we will be having The Frankie Awards. Our own forumite award ceremony to celebrate all those things that we have loved from the last year. We have our little pink Frankie Bear statues, but first off... We need the catagories!
Thats right my fellow forumites! To make the Frankie Awards something memorable, you are going to choose the catagories for the awards that we will get to vote on every year with this soon to be annual event. But how are we going to choose these catagories you ask?
Well, it wouldn't be the Frankie awards if we didn't name the catagories to vote for after each letter of Frankie's name...
'Huh?' you say? Its simple... We take F, will it stand for Fun, Fiction, Food? R could be Racey, Reading, Rubbish? A... will it be Action, Annoyance, Addiction? N, does it stand for Noms, Naughty, Narcism. K... kettle, kilo, komics? I... Idiocy, I Can Has, Ich? E... Ebil... Eroctic, Excitement?
We take a general theme for each letter then have a catagory on it... Fun could be funniest moment, best laugh, silliest thing. Fiction could be best book, play, movie... and so on.
So have your say... You've got 5 days to have your say on what catagories we should celebrate with the awards, then we'll pick which we want to use forever, nominate for each catagory... then everyones favourite part... Voting!
More will be explained as it happens... Have your say now

Re: The Frankie Awards!
Well…I generally have no particular interest in participating or voting in these events, but I think you might want to forgo “F for fiction”. People don’t seem to have the time to slog through it. For example, DMoness posted a pretty long story in Bards Corner recently and so far as I know, no one has publicly commented on it. Of course, some may have commented by PM (I did) so perhaps my concern is misplaced.
I think outside the tesseract.

I also notice that threads that habitually get long posts like fiction threads tend not to get comments since people don't want to interfere with productive threads.
Further affiant sayeth not.

Re: The Frankie Awards!
See... Asaryu gets it I know its a little long winded, but it's for a general theme for each catagory to vote on and give Frankie Awards to.
See... Fun could be Funniest Moment of the past 12 months, or funniest pic, or just plain... you've made us laugh so we want to give you an award.

Re: The Frankie Awards!
I'm glad that people are finally getting the catagory theme idea that I was going for with using the F.R.A.N.K.I.E acronym. . I'm liking alot of the suggestions for the different themes, and they make it pretty darn simple too for thinking what to award in them.
The question some people are asking though is... 'how do I get anything out of this?' Answer.... Points system. When it comes to voting, your nomination (for the actual award) will be given a points score based on where it placed (Yes people can havethe same nominations as someone else). The person with the highest points count will be crown Frankie Award Precog Supremo, and given their name colour and title.

Um... how about...
Fun
Risqué
Amazing
Noms
Krazy? I hate the letter K...
Idiotic

Theoretically, we could add an S category and make it “Frankies”... If we do, I vote to make it “Spoons.”
(... Note: my friends and I use the term “spoon” to refer to someone who is nice. Something or someone who is nice is “spoony,” and so on, with various derivative adjectives like “spoonful,” “spoontastic” and “spoonulous”...)
