The Author's Hangout Awards!

TheEarl · Dec 5, 2004

Right - I'm quite blatantly half-inching this idea from another forum where I post, but it's a reasonably good one, so I think it's worthwhile.

The First Annual AH Awards!

We get awards as writers if we're good enough, but what about those of us who spend all their time in the Author's Hangout and never actually get any writing done? They deserve to be recognised for making this forum the fun place it is. So I've invented (stolen from somewhere else) the Hangout Awards to give glory to those who make our visits here that bit more interesting.

Everyone who can be arsed fills in their votes for these categories and PMs them to me. On the 11th December, I will collect together all of the votes and work out who's won each category. Then I'll accept bribes and then I'll announce the winners!

Do you have to fill in every catagory, or can you pick and choose?

carsonshepherd · Dec 5, 2004

What kind of bribes are we talking here?

You better say sexual favors if you wanna get nominated for anything!

TheEarl · Dec 5, 2004

Pick and choose if you so feel.

I get this feeling that this thread's either gonna bomb, or I'll end up with so many PMs that I don't know what to do with myself.

I think you'll just get nominated for every award yourself.

No, cause you kept that creepy vampire thing for a way long time, and it gave me nightmares.

Haven't you ever seen the movie from whence he came? His name is Ralphie and the movie's called "A Christmas Story." You'd love it.

Changed my mind again

If Abstrusions doesn't win Thread of the Year, the judges should all be lynched.

Guest · Dec 5, 2004

Could be fun, I'll vote. Plus I'm here to say you may well be the person I trust most to count the ballots and deal with any dangling chads.

Pear

p.s. you'd better keep your PM box clean (print screens for the record).

Is THAT what's dangling?

TheEarl · Dec 5, 2004

Changed my mind. It'll probably be more fun if you PM them to me, cause then no-one will know who's won till the end.

PM your votes to me!

Okay, just realised that counts in most of the posters on the board. Any suggestions that're better than mine?

Indeed, I've only been here since May, and I don't consider myself a newbie any more.

I'm game, but its going to be tricky. Sheesh.

PMSL!!!!

I just looked up the dictionary meaning for matriarch.

Matriarch:

1. A female head of a family or tribe
2. A feisty older woman with a big bosom (as drawn in cartoons)

Heheheeeee

(running now....lol >>> )
