we should have a division between poetry, short story, long story, paragraph, however for the Hall of Gifts. as the writings are different styles.

don't judge your stuff too harshly.

is their a catagory for most bitter watch member?

should the sports be divided as well? best thread, best post, etc?

I second "Best use of 'heh' in a Post".

Heh.-jay

I second Bitchiest Battle in the 'Tank (duo)

Bitchiest Battle is good and would be a hotly contested battle!

How about Most Likely to Appear in a SRD Novel?

I second all these Syl.

I don't think we should give seperate awards for sub-forums in the Collective or the Waymeet as most of those forums aren't super-busy and we'd also be left with way too many awards. As long as everyone nominates the threads/posts they think are great then each sub-forum in those two sections (and each forum covered in both the General SRD and General TC catagories) will probably be included.

more awards allows for more winners.

True, but it also makes things a little silly. Especially when we are talking about forums that might only have twenty or so active threads over the course of a year.

Why not just give everyone an award? That way no-one misses out.

Yuck.

Yeah, seriously.

It's like that "deferred success" thing, instead of a failing grade. If you eliminate failing grades, no-one needs to feel bad. Gah.

i din't say everyone gets one. just more for me.

Hmmm. Admitting that probably isn't going to help your cause.

Comeback of the year

Instead of a Watcher of the Year, I propose that every year we induct one (or more) Watcher(s) into a kind of "KW Hall of Fame." I admit that it probably sounds even more vague than Watcher of the Year, and could be even more problematic, but I'm just throwing this idea out. (Don't worry, I'm already resigned to being shot down.) Next!

Why no disection based awards MM?

I think I could find a better one if I looked hard enough. There's this video we watched in my physics class where at one point he takes a box full of the "elements" and throws them out, and they all land on their exact spots on the periodic table with classical music playing in the background. If I could somehow splice an image from that video, I think I'd have yours beat.

Let's have an award or two for the Dissection gang. We've been working real hard on the Runes dissection, and such work should be rewarded.

Maybe you guys could do a best dissector for each book, or each subseries (first, second, and last chronicles)? And also have one for best, like, person at discussing the dissections or something? Best responder?

I'm not really active in the dissections, they seem very involved, but I assume that besides stellar initial posts there are people who read them and respond with further analysis and such.

I don't think I can get any of those awards, except perhaps newbie of the year And I think Jenn has me beat on that by a longshot, among others. Boohoo?

Personally, I just don't like to see the Dissections become part of a "race" for awards. I'm referring only to the actual chapter summaries, not the replies. I have no problem with a "best reply" award.

These are just my own ramblings. I don't speak for anyone else, and I don't expect anyone else to agree with me.
