    Default The 2011 Silver Pencil Awards ~ Nominations Topic!

    The 2011 Silver Pencil Awards – Nominations Topic!


    Welcome fanficcers to the next stage of the 2011 Silver Pencil Awards - the Nominations round.

    Brian (mr_pikachu) and I have taken your suggestions from the last round on board, and have come up with a revised list of awards categories.

    You have two weeks to nominate the fic, character, moment, writer or general TPM member that you believe is the most deserving to win that category.

    The rules for nominations are pretty standard:

    ~ Post your nominations in this thread.

    ~ Each person may make one nomination per category.

    ~ You may nominate in as many or as few categories as you like.

    ~ No self-nominations are allowed.

    ~ Since the last awards were in January 2010, nominations are open to any work that has been updated since 1st January 2010. This eligibility period also applies to fic moments and other time-specific nominations (like Best Newcomer).

    ~ All nominations must be posted in this topic by Monday, 29th August, 2011
    .

    So, without further ado, here are the categories!

    Happy nominating!

    General Fic Awards (Whole Fanfics)

    Best Fic Of The Forums – Lisa the Legend (by Gavin Luper) (I think this is one story that defines how a writer progresses over time. Definitely deserves to be here)

    Best Pokemon Fic – Lisa The Legend (by Gavin Luper) (*see comment above*)

    Best Alternate Fandom/Original Fic – First Blood (by mattbcl) (Even though it’s been set for the August writing contest, I believe it is an very good short story, deserving of an award)

    Best Writing Style – Malice Afterthought (by Dragonfree) – Easy to read, simple and effective.

    Best Plot – Lisa the Legend (by Gavin Luper) - *sniff* how much you’ve grown Lisa.

    Best Poem – After The Carnival (by Oslo) – OK, this piece gives an epic story and it has a very interesting view in terms of reality.

    Best E-Zine Article - Why write Fanfiction?: Muse - April 2010 issue (by Chris 2.1) - Every writer has asked this question, and Chris took the opportunity to bring a great article about it.



    Member Awards (Fanficcers)

    Best Writer - Gavin Luper – They say actions speak louder than words, but in this case, words are the signature of a person deserving this award, and Gavin has proven this.

    Trooper Award (For the little Ficcer that could...) - Mikachu Yukitatsu – This is the spirit of perseveration.

    Best Reader – Gavin Luper – Always there to help.

    Best Contributor – mr_pikachu – Ideas, revivals, comments, and even memorable quotes; Brian has all the requisites to be the best contributor

    Best Newcomer to the Boards – Becky – I think this welcome will be eternally craved into the TPM history.


    Community Awards (Fanficcers)

    Most Likely to Become a Couple – mr_pikachu and Becky (surprise, surprise)

    Least Likely to Become a Couple – Blademaster and Lady Vulpix (hides)

    Queen of Fanfic – classy_cat18 (Modding with style)

    Jester of Fanfic – Sike Saner (funny reader)

    Most Helpful Fanficcer – Gavin Luper (Try him)

    TPM Addict (For those of us who just can't live without it...) - Mikachu Yukitatsu (Friendly, nice and logged on TPM whenever he can… yep)

    EDIT: OK, I made a few modifications. I think that will be all. Hope for everyone's success.

    A quick point, which I believe we neglected to mention -- for the Silver Pencils this year, the period of eligibility is from January 2010 through now.

    That means that for a fic to be nominated, it must have been updated since January 1, 2010. For a fic moment to be nominated, that moment must have been posted after that date. Other time-specific awards work the same way -- for instance, with the "Best Newcomer" category, a nominated member must have joined after the above cutoff.

    I'm sorry that wasn't in the initial post; we'll get it updated.


    EDIT: Update complete.

    It's no trouble, Louis. I figured it would be best to let you know right away, just in case you had any alternatives in mind in the moment. That's our fault; we weren't clear enough about that cutoff.

    No one is perfect Brian, so don't worry about it.

    If new nominations arise, I'll edit my post.

    Nice! I was just wondering, are we allowed to post small arguments to back up our nominations? Like why would a certain TPMer cause universe to explode? I mean, in Unown Awards threads, we have traditionally seen small arguments on some of the nominations, in both the nomination and voting phases. Given that the voting phase will be secret (or at least I recall it was secret the last time was involved, is it?) I'm really interested if we are allowed to post the arguments in line with our nominations.

    I hope I explained that well enough, I might need a dictionary to back up my expression 'small arguments that back up our nominations'. Also, sorry if this should have been asked before this phase.

    And then again, what comes to my own nominations, be patient with them. I'll do some research that'll take more than one week, but I promise I'll have at least some nominations ready before the deadline!

    Hey, Mikachu! In the past, I've posted a quip or two explaining some of my nominations, so I certainly don't think there's a problem with it. Besides, we had to use short snippets of text just to explain what some of the categories are.

    In other words, as long as it follows the guidelines that Gavin listed, have at it!

    Dang it, Gavin. I just finished my nominations after four hours of poring over fics, and I pop in this thread to see that you beat me to four of my selections. It's 4:00 a.m. and I want to go to bed, dude! *cries*

    Oh well. I'll just post what I have and edit in the others shortly.

    Okey-choke, here are my nominations. There aren't many here—much of what I would have nominated already has been this time around. Comes with the territory of being late to the party, I guess. :p

    Anyway...

    Best Writing Style – Morphic (Dragonfree)
    Best Plot – Show-Off (Chris 2.1)


    Fic Moments (Parts of Fanfics)

    Best Moment – Mia talking to Medicham (Chapter 26, Show-Off, Chris 2.1)
    Best Plot Twist – Letaligon returning to try and kill her father only to find that he's already been slain (Chapter 58, The Quest for the Legends, Dragonfree)
    Best Chapter – Chapter 13 of Morphic (Dragonfree)
    Best Quote –
    What is this compulsion you have to attribute everything I do to me just being a jerk?
    (Chaletwo, Chapter 57, The Quest for the Legends, Dragonfree)

    HAHA - I would totally support changing the category to Geekiest Fanficcer. Although I think we'd then ALL be in the running.

    XD

    Bad timing, dude! I feel your pain - I hate choosing a nomination only to see that someone else got there first. Lucky me haha.

    Dudes and dudettes: Noms close in half a day! Please try to nominate a few more new people and fics in the categories that need nominations, let's try to have as few auto-wins as possible this year!

    -Some nominations might be considered old (for example: the e-zine article). Can they still be nominated? (already answered)
    -Kind of a dumb question but Short Stories (one, or two piece) can still be nominated, right? Yes, absolutely, for any category that they might still fit into (eg. best character in a leading role, etc etc.)

    EDIT: OK, I made a few modifications. I think that will be all. Hope for everyone's success.
    PS: Can someone answer my remaining questions please?
    Hey, Louis. Sorry, missed your questions if they were there earlier, probably cause they were edited in and I usually just skim for new posts. ^_^

    Answered them in red above - hope that clarifies things. Hit me up if it doesn't!

    I'll give it a few more hours, guys, since it's still the 29th in parts of the USA I believe.

    Cheers!

    Actually, there was an April 2010 issue of the Muse, as well... that's where my Best E-zine Article nomination originated, actually. The January and April issues both fall into the eligibility timeframe.


    EDIT: For the sake of clarity, I've moved the April 2010 issue to the Fanfiction Archives. Apparently that had never actually been done.
