2017 of-the-year awards

It's time to get nominating for our first yearly awards. You heard us right, yearly. Some of these need nominations, and others will be kept up with by staff. You have until the 31st to get your nominations in, and we will vote in the first week of January. On the 8th, our 2017 yearly winners will be announced!

Only two rules -- get your nominations in by the end of 2017, and no nominating yourself in any categories, including couple and thread of the year! Happy nominating!

Most Improved Member - My bb Shi. I know it wasn't this year, but I just remember you joining with just Cass, coming on and doing your one or two threads, and not talking to anybody. Now you're hecka active, with amazing characters, and you talk to absolutely everyone and I love it.

Morgan. Babe, you stress so much for us.

Most Improved Member of the Year
Someone took my nomination, and I can't really think of anyone else so perfect for this, so I am keeping it blank. (Hint; it was Joyce because she's amazing)

Writer of the Year
Can I say I really love Fai's writing? How have you made my characters feel things with actual feelings?

Female Character of the Year
@alessia. I love this sweetheart, okay? Handling it all with class. 

Male Character of the Year
@fernando Okay, anyone trying to make the Department of Control and Regulation of magical creatures werewolf-friendly after what Durant did is amazing in my book. Also, as a DE it's somewhat less expected, yeah?

Couple of the Year
@elijah and @meridian, because who doesn't love criminal couples?

Thread of the Year
Issues Have you read it? Aka, Marcus finally coming out to V after he'd gotten a bf?

Plot Twist of the Year
@raymond having a horcrux. Can I personally wat

Most Dedicated Member: Shi took mine, but I'm just gonna put it again, because I can. Morgan - Because even though I know she's going to have something to say about this, I mean... Come on. We wouldn't be anything without her. She's always trying to make this place better for everyone, and doing everything she can to stay on top of everything for us. She's great.
Most Improved Member: Meg - Looking at the characters that you've developed, and the way your writing has only grown since the day I met you, I think you're great!
Writer: Iane - I just love the way that all of your people develop and grow, and they are some of my favorites to read, and to thread with, and that all has to do with your writing.
Female Character: Constance Leysa Mountbatten - There are reasons okay. Lots of them. And we would list them, but really we think that that's just going to take all the time that we don't have. And she's been through hell. And we love her.
Male Character: Rodolphus Azazel Lestrange- There are also reasons for this... Even more of them. Like... a lot of them... And we're not sorry that we nominate him all the time, we just really freaking love him.
Couple: @dorian and @camille - Zoë says that if someone's life gets to not suck, she's really glad it's Cami's, and that if Dorian is going to make that happen. Then go them.
Thread: I'd Hate to be You - Desirae Maribel Krum, @esthergarnet, @dominickjr
Plot Twist: @esthergarnet and Max Dwyer breaking up. Really thought they were endgame...
