The 2006 Silver Pencil Awards ~ Nominations Topic!

[mr_pikachu]

It’s that time of year again… get ready for the Silver Pencil Nominations! For the next two weeks, the best fics and fanficcers that TPM has to offer will be nominated by you for the semiannual Fanfic Awards! To make your nominations, simply list them in a post in this thread.

For fanfics, any fic that has had an update since the Golden Pen Awards in September 2005 is eligible for general nominations. (Of course, it has to fit any other requirements of the specific category as well; for instance, a fic can only be nominated for Most Promising New Fic if it was first started since the last Golden Pen Awards.)

Be sure to only make up to one nomination for each category. Also, if you want to change a nomination, you’re welcome to do so, but please make your changes in a new post rather than editing your previous one. We keep track of the nominations as they are made, so things might get rather confusing otherwise. And don't forget, no nominating yourself!

If you have any questions about any of the categories or about the awards, feel free to ask. Otherwise, start nominating already!

[Note: Another nomination topic is open in the main Fanfic forum. Feel free to post your nominations in whichever one you prefer.]

[Note: To clarify the eligibility further, any fic that has had an update since the last post in the Voting topic for the last Golden Pen Awards is eligible for nominations as long as it fits any other requirements for the category. The cutoff point should be at or around October 1, 2005 depending on your time zone.]

Ah, crud; I knew I forgot something important! Sorry for the late announcement, but you're not allowed to nominate yourself for an award. I'll edit that into the top of both threads. My apologies, but I'm afraid that particular nomination can't count. The rest, however, are perfectly fine.

And while I'm at it, I may as well make my nominations.

Yeah, we're allowed to change our nominations.

But speaking of nominations!! I got three!? Academy... for Most Promising despite only having the prologue up; ... and eevee-shayna for Least Likely Couple, I guess it makes sense considering that I don't even know her (or him); finally Least Likely to Have an Iota of Fun in Life – that's me, definately.

"Well I was thinking about having the story of a girl. An ordinary girl, and basically she has a guardian angel, but the angel is telling her to kill as part of a greater scheme. So the girl slaughters the father in the shed with his power tools, kills the mother in the kitchen. Its then we find out the angel is actually her dead older sister, and we follow her as she hunts down this really meanie girl from school and kills her by throwing her off a bridge during a storm. We then follow her and slowly uncover that she actually has a mental illness and there is no angel as she goes on killing people," Olivia, Electric Buggy to Victory, Andrew.

[color=#cccccc]"Also, if you want to change a nomination, you’re welcome to do so, but please make your changes in a new post rather than editing your previous one. We keep track of the nominations as they are made, so things might get rather confusing otherwise." - mr_pikachu

Yeah, we're allowed to change our nominations.

The Arbiter is correct. You can feel free to change your nominations, just as long as make those changes in a separate post. That'll make it easy for us to keep track of the nominations that are made.

[Chris 2.1]

Oh wow! Lok at all those nominations for TPML! Guys a big thanks, what an odd outcome for my humble side-project .

I'll say now: I don't really read many fics. And a lot of fics feel like theyve been nominated too much, so forgive my lack of nominations guys.

Anyway, two more nomination:

Best Pokemon Battle Scene
Becca and Karin battling the Ivy Wood’s monster, The Pokemon Master League by Chris 2.0

Most Original Concept

EDIT: Not for nomination, just my point.

EDIT 2: Changed one text in nomination, for the writer of the fic don't want other people to be spoiled...

[mr_pikachu]

Okay, I see I need to clarify one of the nomination requirements...

Any fic which has had an update since the last Golden Pen Awards is eligible for nominations (as long as it meets the criteria for the specific category). That means that any fic which had a new chapter posted at any point since the last post in the Voting topic for those Awards is eligible to be nominated. The time may vary by time zone, but the date should be October 1, 2005 for pretty much everyone, I believe.

...Sorry about that. I figured the issue needed further clarification, since The Emerald League was completed in 2004 if I recall correctly (although the fic seems to have vanished in the now-infamous server move). There may be other fics that haven't been updated recently enough, but that was the only one that caught my eye while skimming through the nominations.

(That means if you didn't check when fics were updated while you were making nominations, you might want to do so. Wouldn't want anyone angry about their nominations not making it to the voting stage...)

^_^;;

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

So, no Emerald League? That thing was awesome.

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, I'm sorry, but no Emerald League. We all love the Cap'n, but TEL was completed quite awhile back. Feel free to change your nomination(s) in a new post, if you like. (The same goes for anyone else who wants to change nominations for whatever reason.)

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Ok, I'll change it.

Previous:

Best New Pokemon: Can't remember its name, but the Spider Pokemon out of Captain Pringle's fic. (The Emerald League)

Best Pokemon Battle Scene: Final battle in The Emerald League, containing the finalist who had Suicune (The emerald League)

Current:

Best new pokemon: I'll leave this blank, since I don't think any other new pokemon was worth it.

Best pokemon battle scene: RaZoR LeAf vs. Grey in TPML (by Chris 0.2)

[darktyranitar]

If you noticed, I made a change in the nomination... but I only changed one of the text in the nomination. The author of the fic doesn't want some of the readers to be spoiled, you see...

[Blademaster]

Holy crap, I'm being nominated for stuff?! Wow...

[darktyranitar]

Okay, I have a nomination to change: Most Suspenseful (Sorry Chris!)

EDIT: Deleted a nomination

[Dragonfree]

Best Original Fic
The Type Chart by Dragonfree

Umm, as much as I like to be nominated for stuff, The Type Chart is not eligible for that category. "Original fic" is a fic that is NOT a fanfic, right? Well, The Type Chart is, and takes from two fandoms to boot, so it's definitely not an original fic in this sense.

[mr_pikachu]

Yeah, Dragonfree, you're right, and you caught that before I did. That would qualify as a Pokemon Fic, and it could also fit for an Other Fandom Fic (since it's also a Matrix parody). However, an Original Fic is one that has no basis in any fandom whatsoever.

[darktyranitar]

Really? Ah well... *goes off to edit*

Sorry for the incovenience!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Waw, me being the newbie that I am, got 2 nominations! Wtf, has the world gone mad? Thanks DT. =D

[The Blue Avenger]

Most Rounded Member: TBA

...buh? Thanks, but... buh?

Uhm, yeah, this post had a point... but it has escaped my mind. I'll get my nominations in once I'm not so swamped with work.

Well, since I've actually been nominated for things this time around, I might as well return the favor.

EDIT: Well it's been like one minute since I posted, so better to edit than double post, right? Anyway, I just realised that it reads "Most likely to Overtake TPM", not "Most likely to take over TPM", so please ignore nomination for that category.

[starjake]

Out of curiosity...how many of you read the YGO fics? I seems as though very few people do...if that's the case, then people like Master of Paradox and myself will never win anything, and all because we refuse to conform and write Pokemon fics...

[mr_pikachu]

@_@;;

Well, with one day to go before the deadline for nominations, I decided to check all the nominations to make sure they all qualified for their respective categories.

In short, I'm about to have an aneurysm from all the checking, reading, and howling in pain as my retinas dissolved.

But enough of that. For the benefit of the nominators as well as the fics they decided to nominate, I went through and made a list of things that didn't quite qualify, along with their respective nominators. (Whew!) Again, you can feel free to change any nominations up until the submission deadline, including anything mentioned here. Just make sure to make a new post if you do. That way, I can avoid cardiac arrest.

Oh, and if your name doesn't have any comments, that means that I have nothing to say to you. Interpret that however you please.


Blademaster: “Shadow Realm – Fifteen” is a Yu-Gi-Oh! fic, so I’ll count it as your Best Other Fandom Fic instead of Best Original, since you don’t have a nomination in the former category.

mr_pikachu: I just wanted to make a special point of flaming you, dirtbag. Stop taking my lunch money!

jkBAKURA: “Yu-Gi-Oh Junior: The Mandate of Heaven” ended in May of last year, so it can’t qualify for nominations. Also, you can’t make any nominations from your own fics, even if they were ideas from other fanficcers.

darktyranitar: Cool-headed Blaziken really isn’t a New Writer because he joined before the last Awards (in March 2005).

Chris 2.0

MeLoVeGhOsTs: “Demon Inside” gets its basis from Pokemon, so it doesn’t qualify for Best Original Fic. Since your nomination for Best Pokemon Fic had already been nominated by others, I’ll move the nomination for “Demon Inside” to that category. And I’ll assume that “TBA” refers to TheBlueAvenger.

P.S. I didn't include overlapping nominations in these comments; you can check for any that overlap with the ones you made on your own. Also, if a part of a fanfic is nominated in a category for a fic as a whole, it will be shown as the category is intended. If I had to do all that in the comments, we'd be here until Christmas.

*gasps for breath*


EDIT: In case that sounded more spiteful than I intended, just know that I'm laughing right now at how much more work running the Awards was than I thought it'd be. Sure, I'm bleeding from my eyes... but I'm still laughing!

[Blademaster]

Out of curiosity...how many of you read the YGO fics? I seems as though very few people do...if that's the case, then people like Master of Paradox and myself will never win anything, and all because we refuse to conform and write Pokemon fics...

(points at first post)

I'm the only reader loyal enough to have nominated you guys.

The rest of TPMF: For shame! (wags finger until an irritable Forumer snaps it oin half)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!

Also, OK with the whole SR: 15 thing, pik.

[jkBAKURA]

Understood. I'm sorry that so many catagories are not being nominated for. It seems strange that Dark Sage himself hasn't nominated anything. I'm going to have to read more stories here, not just the ones of my current friends

[Gavin Luper]

That's the idea, jkBAKURA: apart from recognising the best in TPM Fanfic, the awards are a vehicle with which to propel more fics into the limelight so they get read more!

And, finally, here's my nominations!

Most Promising New Fic
Kitt and Katt, Eevee-shayna and Samchu (does it count as new? Sorry Brian)

Well, not really... we've been going by the end of the voting in the last Awards, which was October 1, 2005. Kitt & Katt started in July, so it misses the deadline by a little. Feel free to nominate something else in its place, though.

Best New Writer
Eevee-shayna and Samchu (eligible?)

Well, counting two writers as one is kinda confusing... it's really meant for the individual writer, especially since this isn't the only fic that each of them has written. And neither of them is really a new writer individually...

Most Dedicated Writer
Eevee-shayna and Samchu

If you wouldn't mind specifying one or the other, that'd help. I know Kitt & Katt is a crossover, but since it's a member award, it's really for the writer and all of that one writer's works, rather than a pair.


...At least, that's how I interpreted the categories based on what's been done in the past. ^_^;;

[Lady Vulpix]

Sorry for the delay, I've been too busy. What else is new?

I wanted to read more fics and think more carefully about the scenes and quotes, but I'm afraid these few nominations will have to do. It's better than nothing in any case. I apologize for the lack of order in the nominations.

[Gavin Luper]

Ecch. Sorry Brian. I was on my lunch break from work and realised I had to leave, else I would be late. Luckily I was only four minutes late, so I didn't get crucified.

Okay, some of these nominations are new, some are revised.

Revised:

Best New Writer <--- repeal this altogether, I can't find a really suitable nominee in the limited time I have.

Most Dedicated Writer

Most Promising New Fic
The Failing Light, Kinglerlord2

New:

Best Trainer Fic
EBTV, Andrew (I thought it was ineligible before, but it's not)

Biggest Drama Queen/King
That would be Oz.

Most Likely to Become a Couple
Oz and Lady Vulpix! They've tried to hide it, but it's impossible!

mr_pikachu and anyone with bad grammar (sorry Brian, with nothing else at the front of my mind, I couldn't resist)

Most Likely to Take Over TPM
Lady Vulpix! (just for fun)

Quirkiest Fanficcer
Blademaster

Most Likely to Never Complete His/Her Fic
dratinihaunter13 (for Damon's Menace)

Okay! Done! Hurrah!

[mistysakura]

I have a question which doesn't go anywhere else, so I suppose I'll stick it here even if I'm not nominating anything in this post. What is "Most Likely to Overtake TPM"? By the way, about the Yu-Gi-Oh thing: of course people read Yu-Gi-Oh fics. Now we just need to lure them here to nominate... mwahahaha...

[Gavin Luper]

It's meant to be Most Likely to Take Over TPM, if that is any clearer. Hence, people of general influence and power usually get nominated and stuff.

And mistysakura's right, guys, everyone needs to nominate and vote too! Get involved before it's too late!!
