2018 OF-THE-YEAR-AWARDS

I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been looking forward to yearlys since January but it's finally here! It's time to nominate for our second annual yearly awards! You have until the 31st to get your nominations in, and we will vote in the first week of January. On the 8th, our 2018 yearly winners will be announced!

No self-nominating, please, even for relationships! Also please note that while you can nominate winners from last year, if you want to give people props or tell people that you still absolutely adore them. But we are not going to put last year's winners on the poll for voting. We don't want the same people winning two years in a row! If they won runner up last year, then they are still eligible to win this year, though! Moment is IC!

As far as the member nominations go, feel free to nominate someone that is already nominated if that is how you feel about it!

Couple: @pete & Michael Holden Parkinson love ittttt
Thread: -slams button- Cacophony of Screams - Rabastan Ashmedai Lestrange , Devin Douglas Wright , & Sasha Violet Augustine (we totally saw this coming, did we not? haha)
Moment:  remember that time the c-box moved and we became neglectful c-box parents? good times haha (i'll come up with a real one i swear)

THIS IS EXCITING, MY FIRST GO AT THESE, OK WOOT.

Most Dedicated Member: Admin Morgan hands down, you've done so much for the site.
Most Improved Member: @jenna because every time she messages me with a plot idea it is even better than the last one and I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT tell me your secrets
Writer: @tori seriously, I live for our threads.
Female Character: Adaline Lily Potter I know she's been here a short while, but we love her a lot.
Male Character: @santiago because this man DOES IT ALL OK.
Couple: Elliot Lochlan MacGuffin + @ellanora -- these two have been to hell and back, and they're amazing. I love them.
Thread: The End of the Story with @damion and @colemetmilinia . They won a thread of the month, and they deserved it. I remember Damion and Colemet from my first stint at Insur, and they've always been a favourite of mine, so this thread was just ANGST AND TEARS.
Moment: @feorge and his many (ok not that many we're being dramatic) failed dating attempts

Most Dedicated Member: @seani , you give a lot and i love it. you try so much, and your posting sprees? like goddamn i wish i had half that. the 7000+ post?

Most Improved Member: _{ME haha no i write worse just longer.} @queenalice I have seen you getting more confident, and i love it!! i love it so much!! your wordlength has been increasing and your posts are an even bigger joy to read than they were before!

[Writer: @lizzy dear god i love you and your writing so much and i know you don't always believe me. but trust me? when you write a lot it's not intimidating and i don't feel like i need to reach a potential i don't think i can. TL;DR i love your writing. it's amazing and not intimidating. 

Female Character: @maria she's badass

Male Character: @cass because strike me down if I don’t. He lives, he cares, it’s everything

Couple: Arthur Stroud and @clio

Thread: Run For Cover with Athena Zara Finley and Rabastan Ashmedai Lestrange. it's good to start getting over your demons, isn't it?

Moment: probably a cop-out since it’s mostly OOC, but Celestina returning? new life, new air, and I feel like things really started exploding and happening

Most Dedicated Member: Celestina hello yes, you are a brilliant creator you, i have no words to describe!!!
Most Improved Member: Mya!!!!!! Your posts were always amazing, but they have grown so much. You're a queen. Like, we have no threads with each other rn but I'll still stalk yours. Queen. Epic. Amazing. Icon.
Writer: Jade -- i mean hello yes of course jade!!!!!!!!!! you are amazing and all of your characters??? I love them all??? How can I feel so much love in my heart for them? Like, your writing for them is so rich and they're such full, lively characters.
Female Character: Demelza Robins ((i just love her too much ok))
Male Character: @feorge
Couple: COMING SOON!
Thread: Asteria Greengrass & Anthony Goldstein (boi #1) , the thread i stalk constantly
Moment: COMING SOON!

Most Dedicated Member: I know she can't win again, but Tori is still on an entirely different level--So, Morgan for this nomination!
Most Improved Member: Celestina--She was a delight to read. I remember when she first joined, but since then, she has integrated herself so beautifully into the site and brought so many brilliant characters into this rp world. I love the families she has enriched--and the new institutions she has created.
Writer: Tori--No justification is even needed here. We all know and marvel at her skill. Rich and beautiful characters. Long, impeccable posts that never are just a rehashing of what has already been said. I'm a fan. It's an honor to write with you.
Female Character: Andromeda Lestrange
Male Character: Octavian Aubrey
Couple: Valentina De la Vega, Rubi Josefina Mureșanu and Santiago De la Vega
Thread: Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye, Andromeda and Rodolphus
Moment: Art trying to smuggle the body out of the Ministry and encountering Athena. @tori, i'm changing my mind. New favorite moment: Andromeda's first major act as Minister: Pyxis school announced.

Most Dedicated Member: Admin Morgan . Ys, I know you're already nominated but like who else can I say?
Most Improved Member: Steph- like, really looking back from when you first started until now. You've improved so much, writing wise, but also like socially because back then you wouldn't really interact as much as you do now. Also, you were like afraid of half of us, I think.
Writer: Personally, I really love Celestina's writing. It's always fun, always entertaining and new. Yeah, I like that.
Female Character: @valentina . Do we hate her? Yes. Is she a very well written and interesting character? Yes.
Male Character: @theo - same reasons. 
Couple: @magdalene and @dario (Can you tell who ships them? No.1 fan right here.)
Thread: Diamond Rings and Old Barstools - Yeah, I know it's actually from 2017 but like excuse me, the big drama didn't start until this year. This started one of the funniest dynamics I've ever had the pleasure to encounter.
Moment: I WILL COME BACK TO THIS

(Narrator's voice: she did not, in fact 'come back to this'.)
