CLAUDE ISN'T THAT SURPRISED THAT THE AWARDS ARE NOW SEASONAL.



THE FINAL AWARDS OF 2012... THE WINTER AWARDS!

All you have to do is fill out the following form with who/what you want to win and why. That's it! This will be up for a week, and voting will happen the week after that.

When nominates are closed a poll will be put up for you to vote who wins! The winners will receive a banner to put in their sigs and an acknowledgement in the sidebar under "Awards," as well as 50 euros per award! That means if one person wins in three of the four categories (because a male can't win a female vote), they can get 150 euros!

Note that since awards have been given for the past month, the same characters cannot win for the same catagories this month. This means that someone like Claude Delacroix can't be nominated for Male of the Season, but he CAN be nommed as part of the Duo/Couple or Thread of the Season!

Nominate away! Also, please try to nom in every category. And if you're interested in making the winners' banners, contact me.

[King William Leverich II]

dayum

I nominate PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
cuz it's chuck full of awesomeness and, ya know, I haven't read any other ones this season

[Adina Gillespie]

I nominate ANA GOODWIN for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
Lady B has so many unique and fun characters, but Ana is absolutely kick-ass!She's turned a simple villager into a fun personality and given her major attitude as well as a major heart.

I nominate KING WILLIAM LEVERICH II for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
Because Gabby is simply AMAZING as the King of ghosts!

I nominate CLAUDE AND TERESSA for Couple/Duo of the Season!
Here's why!
After the first two threads with these two unlikely characters, I find that Teressa is bringing out a side of Claude that I thought would never EVER happen! I like that Teressa has such a distrust of men but she seems to be warming up to Claude- even if just a little- and that just makes this couple even more amazing.

I nominate And A Partridge In A Pear Tree! for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
Because it's the holiday season! And it's so amazing how much posting there can be in one big thread and yet it can still all be understood. I didn't think it could happen.

[Erik Lenoir]

I nominate ANA GOODWIN-HART for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
She has an amazing range of emotions, a fascinating background which she is revealing piece by piece and is a bit of a quirky character which makes her soooo intersting. Lady B plays her to perfection!

I nominate ERIK CARRIERE for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
Carrière has grown, in his time at the manor, into an amazing Phantom, the gentle Phantom, well played by Alice, as if this were an extension of the movie.

I nominate ERIK DESTLER and TERESSA LAVALAIS for Couple/Duo of the Season!
Here's why!
They are really amazing in their threads together!

I nominate A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
It is the amazing seasonal thread that most of us have been in, giving amazing and surprising gifts, causing havoc and emotional crises, being sweet and loving and having a darn good time!

[Christine Daaé]

I nominate TERESSA LAVALAIS for Female of the Season!
Here's why!

Okay, I realize that Teressa won last time, but with the awards being seasonal instead of monthly, an entire season is a long time to wait between nominating someone... But anyway, from the posting that I have SEEN this season so far (which granted, was limited because I had no internet access for a period of over a month), the only female character I have really seen have a good amount of development and interaction, and growth in her own individual plot line. Meg places quality over quantity in her posting, and it really shows with how richly developed Teressa's plot line has become.

Honorable Mention 1 – CARLOTTA CORAZÒN (CC)

CC *flails* I seriously get a kick out of every single post Alice does for her Carlotta, and know how difficult it can be to play a Carlotta, but Alice does so fabulously! Carlotta is a very well-rounded character whose likable yet despicable all at the same time. I can't wait to see her and Franc enter the Christmas Eve Party.... CASH! But the reason why I cannot put CC as my official nomination for this season is that she hasn't really done enough in this season (development, plotting, etc.) for me to justify giving her my nomination.

Honorable Mention 2 – CHRISTINE LUCINDA DALLAS (LU)

From what I've seen of Lu (although it has not been much unfortunately, merely due to things like technology issues) she seems so far to be a very well thought-out character. I love how Rachel uses regional style in her writing Lu to give it a sort of Western flare. She comes off as a very unique and believable character, quite different from your average “Christine.” It's adorable to see the almost childlike glee she gets at times, and see her internal battle on occasion with her past as a “bandette” with Erik Gunner and with her now trying to start over and make new friends at the manor.

I nominate RAOUL DE CHAGNY (WESTLEY) for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
Okay, we all know it's obvious I love Westley (he's mah baby's hubby for crying out loud), but really, Mel does such a wonderful job of playing him and making him unique from her other Raoul (who is notorious for his temper and I AM THE LAWR AND THE LAWR IS NOT MOCKED attitude). Although he hasn't done much this season because Mel has been quite busy with college applications and such as of late, what he has done since the last awards has been wonderful. I always enjoy threading with Mel and her Raouls because she comes up with such interesting plots out of the most random situations, such as Westley getting a broken nose on his wedding night, and him getting the bizarre idea that Lenoir is his best friend and asking him to be best man at the wedding (though that was a bit of time ago). Honestly, there's no other person I'd rather have playing him. He's a wonderfully sweet character and always a joy to thread with.

I nominate ÉRIK AND ERIK LAVALAIS for Couple/Duo of the Season!
Here's why!
They finally meet.... XD No really though, I've been wanting to see this meeting for such a long time now and it's finally happened in the Christmas thread. The awkward between these two is just so terribly amusing. I'm really interested to see where this will go, and can't wait for the next post between these two. Both characters are played wonderfully and every post is fun to read.

Honorable Mention – RAOUL DE CHAGNY AND CHRISTINE DAAÉ/DE CHAGNY

Even though I am half of this pairing, I really think that Westley and Blondie have begun to grow in their relationship, not only in the fact of their marriage, but also in the sense that they are re-learning one another. They are figuring out that they need to help each other to be able to cope and adapt with the changes that the manor has brought (and has in store in the future).

I nominate JE VEUX RENAÎTRE for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
Okay, besides the title of this thread reminding me of one of my favorite arias to sing and to hear (“Je veux vive” from Gounod's Roméo et Juliette), it's a confrontation I've wanted to see for such a long time as well: Érik and his imaginary mistress he always asked Madame Giry for a footstool for... BUT THS TIME HIS MISTRESS ISN'T IMAGINARY! Seriously though, there is such good chemistry between the two role players here and it reflects in their writing. This is one of the threads I creep on when there are replies, and really, it's sort of a funny thread so far XD Both of the characters are played wonderfully by their typists, and every post has you wondering what will come next.

[Erik Mortuis]

I nominate CHRISTINE DAAÉ for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
I absolutely adore her potrayal of Christine.

I nominate ERIK LENOIR for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
His character is handled so wonderfully, I simply love him.

I nominate CLAUDE AND TRESSA for Couple/Duo of the Season!
Here's why!
They're very interesting to watch

I nominate PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
Because it was a fun hread to watch.

[Erik Carriere]

I nominate CHRISTINE SVENNA DAEE for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
Okay, just to start with... SVENNA IS SO AWESOME! She's kind of like an older version of Roselin in some ways. But Svenna is just so loveable and interesting! I can't wait for the plot to progress between Svenna and CC (which I need to post to urgently!) and just one little thing... SHES A PAGEBOY!

I nominate GERARD CARRIERE for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
So, I haven't gotten to see too many Grandpappy posts but when I do.... I LUFFS THEM! I love Gerard posts, Silence does them so fabulously! And anyways... POOKEY AND GRANDPAPPY!! ASDFJKL;;LKADJFA

I nominate ADINA/LENOIR for Couple/Duo of the Season!
Here's why!
asdfjkl;adf! I am really coming to love these two! I especially loved the little scene between them in A Partridge in a Pear Tree! And both of course so well played by their players.

I nominate MAKING SOME CHRISTMAS MAGIC for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
As much as I love Partridge in a Pear Tree... I really Really like Making Some Christmas Magic! Its such an interesting collaboration between characters and besides.... COOKIES! *nom*

[Gerard Carriere]

I nominate CHRISTINE SVENNA DAAE for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
What more must I say other then she's played by the amazing Kristine and she's just so...oh what's the word? FUN when she's hyped up on coffee? I love the way Kristine plays her and they're both just so awesome!!

I nominate ERIK CARRIERE for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
Fist off, it's Erik from 1990, what more needs to be said? He's amazing and amazingly played by Alice! I love all his posts, they're splendid! Alice captures him so brilliantly and he's exactly how I saw him in the movie.

[Christine Giselle Daaé]

I nominate Christine Daaé for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
Because she really understands the character and I love posting with her, You never know what will be coming next.

I nominate ERIK CARRIERE for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
I really enjoy posting with her in the threads we are in. She knows the character really well and knows how to make me be all giddy every time they are being cute and such. But yea, that's why I nominate miss Alice :3 <3.

[|ADMIN MEG|]

I nominate MEG "OH LA LA" GIRY for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
Meg is a complex character, and part of one of my canons, and I find it a little unfortunate that I wasn't able to post with her until the Secret Santa thread. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. But as soon as I read the post to my character, Mister Y, I must admit that I was surprised. She's well thought out, there's a motive for all of her actions, and her posts are enjoyable to read! I enjoy interacting with the character and I cannot wait to post more often with her. She leaves me wanting more, and that's what I value in posts.

I nominate WILLIAM LEVERICH II for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
William is well written, I believe, and he deserves more credit as the King of our ghosts. His Majesty is a fun character, with a personality of his own, and he deserves some credit for being an individual worth reading. Once again, I first read a William post in the Secret Santa thread. A bit of a shame, to be sure, but it was an eye-opener.

I nominate PHILIPPE MAURICE DE CHAGNY AND CHRISTINE SVENNA DAAÈ for Couple/Duo of the Season!
Here's Why!
It's HILARIOUS reading these two interact. Philippe is SUCH a hypocrite, and when faced with Svenna, his douchebag-levels rise, it seems. I love my threads with Svenna, and I'd love to thread with Philippe, and reading the two characters interact only serves to strengthen my liking for them. That's what I like to see in characters, and what I think deserves a nomination.

[Aimeric Jayden Devereux]

I nominate INSERT CHRISTINE SVENNA DAAE for Female of the Season!
Here's why!
Such a bouncy and fun-filled character! Love her to bits! And excuse me, but she taught Aimeric how to make a snowman. ALL THE AWARDS FOR YOU.

I nominate ERIK LENOIR for Male of the Season!
Here's why!
Fun to watch roleplay! So much personality and I think the typist has a good idea of a well built Erik. Hope to RP with her character soon enough. :3

I nominate PATRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE for Thread of the Season!
Here's why!
So much fun! Lots of excitement and such a great group RP! From kissing under the mistletoe, to gifts, to meeting new people, it was lots and lots of fun.
