The Awards Award (given to whoever won the most Silver Pencil Awards):
Gavin Luper, with 13 Silver Pencils!



Congratulations to all the nominees and winners, and once again, thanks to everyone for nominating and voting! Without you, there wouldn’t be a reason to have award ceremonies like these. And if you didn’t get an award, don’t worry, as the Golden Pen Awards will be here in about six months.

Until next time!

Your hosts, mr_pikachu and Gavin Luper

[RaZoR LeAf]

Wow my fic was nominated. I had no idea. Yay for 4 votes! And well done everyone else. I certainly have plans to read a hell of a lot of fics now having seen some previews of the plots and things.

[Dark Sage]

*Blushes*

I humbly accept these four awards, and would like to thank everyone who voted for me. Thank you to all my dedicated readers! This means so much.

- Dark Sage

[Mewfour]

Damn right I won most Evil Fanficcer. I didn;t go to Evil school to become InconsiderateMewf0ur!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Waw. Just waw. I won something? No way.

9 – Matt getting a Pokemon from a mysterious man that disappears after their encounter – Screams of Pain, MeLoVeGhOsTs

I totally forgot about my fic with my computer errors and so. I will so continue writing, since I have about 1/2 invented pokemon in it. Hope to be in most original pokemon for the Golden Awards ^^.

Still waw...

Congrats to all of you others! Especially Gavin and as I told you in your thread expect something for LTL as I continue reading in angst. Very crass.

[Blademaster]

I don't believe it - I won 3 Awards?!?!?!! 3!?!?!?!?!

Wow... I'm the Best Newcomer, the Best New Writer, and The I Syndicate is the Most Promising New Story (almost)?

(tears up)

Aw, geez... I told myself I wasn't gonna do this...

(starts crying)

This... means... so much... to... me!!!! Thank you, TPMF!!!!!!!!

Can I give a speech?

(nods)

OK, let's see...

Ummm... well, first I wanna thank everyone that voted for me - a healthy number of people did, it seems! Thanks to all of you!

I wanna thank my parents who don't even know what I do here, but I know that they're supporting me anyway! Thanks, Mom and Dad!

I wanna thank everyone here who appreciated my weird sense of humor. Remember, if you ain't laughin', you ain't livin'! Thanks for the support, gang!

I want to thank Shuppet Master, Master of Paradox, goldenzigzagoon, Mystic Clown, pokemasterkatie, Meowth, Perfect Chaos, and Mega Horny for reading Yu-Gi-Oh! 3.0, which didn't win anything, but it's my pride and joy as far as fanfics go, and it'll be back to try for another award in 6 months! Thanks, guys!

I want to especially thank Mew Trainer Rose, darktyranitar, starjake, and Phoenixsong for reading The I Syndicate and giving me the motivation to keep writing it as well as the desire to! Thanks to all of you!

I want to thank The Pokemasters Forum overall for these Awards, which I never thought I'd see. TPMF4EVR! Thank you so much!

...

And, of course, I want to thank one more person for this prestigious honor.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for this next man, whose works so inspired and moved me that I decided to try my hand at the art of fanficcing. His unique brand and writing style motivated me to try something I otherwise may never have publicly attempted, and look at where it's gotten me! I'm up on stage wearing a rented tuxedo receiving an Award for the future of writing here at the Pokemasters Forum!

Yes, we have had our disagreements in the past, but that hasn't ever stopped him from offering a word of advice when I did bad or a word of praise when I did good. And even though I don't know if he's reading The I Syndicate, I do know that he's backing me up in spirit, just like a true friend would.

That man is my mentor - a writer who in his relatively short time here has generated at least 5 record-setting stories, and likely many more in the years to come.

And his name is Brian 'Dark Sage' Corvello.

Dark Sage, thank you for all of your support - I'm gonna keep writing, and I know you will, too.

Thanks again, Pokemasters Forum - I'll see you again in 6 months!

Peace out!!!

-Blademaster

[Mega Horny]

Quirkiest? Ok, well, thanks for trying to give me something ^^

Yeah, thanks much

[Lady Vulpix]

I could write a big speech, but it could easily be summarized by this: thanks, everyone, and congrats, everyone!

[dratinihaunter13]

mr pika and gavin, awesome job guys
and congrats to all the winners! make sure and prepare something for the next awards! *back to studying*

[Dragonfree]

Wow, Curse won a couple of awards? I'm rather surprised by that, considering Curse was really just a quick piece that I wasn't particularly satisfied with after I finished it and always meant to heavily revise...

Oh well. May winning Best Character in a Supporting Role was kind of unexpected because I'm not sure I noticed her being nominated, but thanks, everybody who voted, and congratulations to the other winners, especially Gavin Luper.

[Master of Paradox]

Well, I'm glad to see I got some recognition...

And yes, I really do plan on having some fun... once everyone stops irritating me.

[Mega Horny]

who nominated me?

[Amaru]

Hey Mega Horny won quirkiest fan ficcer! Hehe great job buddy. I see Lisa the Legend won ALOT. I've started reading it, still in the single digit chapters. I'm kinda new here, but I'm eager to read many of these fics.

When I first got to TPM, I was amazed at the life of the fanfic forums! I'm reading Lisa the Legend at the moment, then I'll start on something else.

[Mega Horny]

I am quite busy but have read tidbits of Lisa the Legend at it is an enormous, but excellent fic. To Amaru, in terms of other good pokemon fics I also reccomend TPML, by Chris 2.0, taking you for an enjoyable and wild ride with twists and sillyness and all around fun as well as the very action packed fic Pokemonese, by Dark Sage, a fine example of his great ability to show a character's personality through a few small words. Also, Darktyranitar has a very fascinating dark fic, the Demon Inside. I have not yet found time to read a great deal of it, but what I have was great and I am hoping to continue.

[Gavin Luper]

Good Lord! 13 Awards and the Silver Pencil Award! :biggrin: :biggrin: *explosion*

I really don't know what to say, other than thank you very, very, very much to everyone who voted for me and LTL: I appreciate your support so much. I'm particularly thrilled that Lisa was voted Best Character in a Leading Role: everyone who has read LTL knows how shaky my character development was, especially in the beginning, so to have Lisa awarded something like this is really encouraging.

Congratulations, too, to all the award winners - and this year there were a lot. To echo Brian's sentiments, this year's voter turnout was really excellent. Not only did a lot of people vote, but the spread of votes was really varied.

Finally, many thanks to Brian, who did an awesome job of running his first Awards as a mod. Not only did he need barely any help from the rest of us, but his formatting and organisational skills are seriously second to none! Well done, Brian! And please, please don't kill me ...



Cheers everyone!

- Gavin.

[darktyranitar]

Congratulation to everyone who won, especially to Gavin who won 13 awards!

And to MLG, do bring back your fanfic!

[Lady Vulpix]

I clicked on the link for this topic at the forums summary and thought it was the one on the writer's lounge. -_-

Anyway, thanks everyone and congrats everyone, as I said on my other post.

I wonder who reads my fic besides Karin. I was surprised to get more than 3 points in the fic-related categories.

Thanks a lot to Brian and Gavin, for all the time and effort they spent on these awards.

[Mega Horny]

Yes, I noticed StarJake nominated me. Did you read my fic?

[mr_pikachu]

Hey, no thanks necessary, Gavin and Gabi. It's my pleasure, and besides, it wasn't really as hard as I had expected.

But you're still toast, Gavin. Least Likely to be a Couple, eh?

[Charizard04621]

O_o So many votes. I can't believe I missed the nominations period, I'd have liked to nominate some. Thanks to everyone who voted for me, I was not aware that I had that many readers. God, I need to pick up writing Lune again, his story is nearing its end...

[classy_cat18]

No awards. [sarcasm]Big surprise there.[/sarcasm] But really, I'm surprised I got so many votes for Best Writer. Do that many people read my fics or did you just vote for me for no reason?

[Chris 2.1]

I was nominated for so much! But I recieved no awards, so I was a little dissapointed. However seeing how many votes I got for my work - thank you! I don't need an award to know I have some very faithful people here. The fanfic was originally a small side project and I am just thrilled it's been recieved so well!

I can tell any readers now that the dark, sinister plotline I mentioned early on will be coming into development very soon, and if you look closely in past chapters you might be able to piece the clues together. We'll see more character development for Razor Leaf, Grey, The Missing Link, Aragornbird and even Hanada Tattsu as they return for character-centered chapters again! Others like The Blue Avenger are also making appearences soon.

Thanks for the Monica's Vendetta votes! Getting into the right mindframe for such a powerful fic is difficult, hence the long wait between chapters! But it's good knowing I have readers.

0 – Charizard04621 and Chris 2.0

HA! Karin we'd obviously make a fantastic couple.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yes and TPML will get you into ASB at once Atleast it did for me, I cannot thank Chris enough for this.

Also Pokemonese is something I enjoyed reading as it now comes to an end.

Like I posted in various other topics, I'm thrilling with energy to start of Lisa the Legend and I did, I'm only at chapter 6 or something, but I got a busy schedule.

Bai.

[darktyranitar]

So, MLG, TPML bring you to ASB too, eh?

Yep Amaru. Like MH and MLG said, LTL, TPML and Pokemonese are good fic to read (can't say much on Pokemonese, I didn't read it).

[Charizard04621]

HA! Karin we'd obviously make a fantastic couple.

Heh heh, except I'm taken =P That was a really weird nomination though, I was a big fan of mr_pikachu and anyone with bad grammar. ^_^

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

You should, you get hooked on it. Lisa the legend is LONG. Lol.

You know the funny thing is, even with an award, people still don't read my fic ^^

[darktyranitar]

Hey MLG! I almost forgot about your fic!

Sorry man, I'll try to read it ASAP. And yeah, people, spent some of your time to read his fic! It's quite good, I'd say.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Even though I must admit, it's a bit boring atleast in the beginning. I'm writing very intruging chapters now, but you can't see the good stuff if you don't know the bad stuff

[Mega Horny]

You know the funny thing is, even with an award, people still don't read my fic ^^

Ditto. Doesnt anyone want a quirky author? My fic is a huge build up, which is really starting to get into swing. Once it does, it will be pretty awesome, so read it

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Well atleast you have some readers (DT I still love you), most likely also because you used their characters.

Anyway we're going offtopic. Congrats everyone once again.

[goldenzigzagoon]

I didn't even win the bad award!!! I tied for last foe the good award!!! No awards!!! Well, atleast I was nominated. I hope there will be an award for most characters introduced in one chapter. I did 33. If only there was such an award. Congrats to everyone, especially Gavin Luper.

[Dark Sage]

Don't feel bad, G.

Starjake pointed out something to me.

I didn't vote at all, because I afraid I'd be biased. I don't believe I should vote in a contest where I'm eligible for awards. And even without me voting, I won a lot of awards.

He told me that when someone who doesn't vote, like me, wins a lot of awards, and someone who does vote, like he did, doesn't win any, it should tell me something.

Let's not forget those who didn't win anything, like the aforementioned Starjake. There are many good writers and good contributors on these boards. There's just not enough to give them all credit.

- DS

[Blademaster]

I didn't vote at all, because I afraid I'd be biased. I don't believe I should vote in a contest where I'm eligible for awards. And even without me voting, I won a lot of awards.

Heh, touche; I voted 'cuz I never thought I would get an Award!

[mr_pikachu]

Well, even being nominated is an honor. Really, it's tough to get a nomination here, if only because we have some of the best fanficcers around. So being nominated in itself is a true accomplishment. Like Dark Sage said, it's just a shame that we can't have everyone win something.

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Yeah, well I never thought I'd ever be nominated, but somehow I did? *coughmaffiacough*

I never realised that Marine was nominated for a fakemon, he didn't do to badly, although IMO he's one of my worst creations. Hoping to do better with my fic for the Golden Pen awards ^^.

[PancaKe]

Hahaha
Those awards were awesome.
Congratulations to all those dedicated enough to write a story!
(I myself am still playing the games again at this point in time.)
And...
adeos.

[The Blue Avenger]

The fact that I got the second-most votes for Most Well-Rounded surprises me.

Err, um, anyway, a hearty congratulations to those who were nominated, and an even heartier one to those who won. Congrats, guys.

[Gavin Luper]

Unstickifying the thread - I'm sure we've all seen the results by now. The thread will remain open for a while longer if people still want to post anything relevant.

Congrats again to everyone concerned, and Happy Easter!

EDIT: [April 21st] - Locking this thread. If anyone still wants to comment/accept awards, you can do so in the Results thread in the Writer's Lounge, which will remain open for a while longer.

Cheers!
