Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Awards! ~

Awards! 

~❤~

So, as I've mentioned, I was looking back on old threads lately.

And I thought that this one idea was really good.

I'll just copy paste: 

Cricketer Awards!

I had a bit of a lightbulb the other day and thought that maybe I'd create something that I don't believe anyone has done yet (at least, not since I first came to the Chatterbox two years ago).

And this idea is to show our appreciation to our fellow Cricketers (or Chatterboxers, but the former sounds better) by presenting them with a token of it. There will be three to start with, but more can be added on—

The Everybuggy Award for All-Around Likeability (cheerfulness, supportiveness, etc.)

The Inkwell Cup for Literary Ability and Creativity (RPs, Hypquests and the like)

The Bookworm Prize for Exceptional Bookworms (diversity in material read and insightful critisicm)

We will vote to award these prizes once a week; no same person can win the same award twice, but, of course, they can win different awards at separate times. Whoever has the most votes at the end of the week (Sunday) will win the prize for that week. I will not nominate anyone yet, as this idea may be disliked, but if it is well received, I'll post my nominees later!

I'm also adding the categories:

The Name Award for best name and set of names for AEs and CAPTCHAs (Yes, I know, this is kind of random)

The Writing Skill Award 

The Creativity Award

Since the idea seemed liked on that thread, I'll go ahead and nominate:

Icy for the Name Award. Chilly, Frosty, Icy, Snowy, they all match!!!!! It's perfect!!!!

Abigail for the Writing Skill award.

St.Owl for the Inkwell award.

Cayke for the Everybuggy award.

Ashlee for the Bookworm award.

Scylla for the Creativity award.

Name award: Owlgirl, for her AEs Mellie, Grace, and Umbriga. I especially like the name Mellie, just because of how... orange it sounds.

Writing skill: Brookeira. It astounds me for how she can come up with all these amazing plots and write it out so well.

Inkwell award: Jack-a-Nat

Everybuggy award: Ashlee G, for doing so much only having been back or a little.

Bookworm Award: Mei-xue

Creativity award: Scylla

Yeah, that's why I chose it. It was a happy sounding name. :) And Grace...well, it's a bit of an irony, since she is anything but graceful.

:) Thank's Scylla! Wow. As far as writing skill goes, I don't think that is very fair because we all have a tremendous amount of skill for our age, and no one has more or less talent, just different styles.

So, name award.

Mei-Xue, you went through all that trouble and finally found a name that I think fits you, I think, tremendously well. 

Inkwell award: Brookeira, you are (mostly) committed to RPs and have fantastic ideas. 

Booksy Owly for the Everybuggy award. Booksy, you are so sweet and kind and encouraging! 

Ruby for Bookworm award. You don't just read books, you weave them into your writing. You quote them, memorize them, reference them, and truly love to read.

The Ominous (alias) for Creativity award. I have laughed and been in awe of your amazing creativity skills :) your writing is a masterpiece of creativity.

OO! Great idea!

Everybuggy: Ashlee

Inkwell: Hmm. St. Owl.

Bookworm: This definetly goes to Esthelle.

Name: Ballet!

Writing skill: Curio 

Creativity: Scylla

I had a hard time picking who for the writing and creativity, (WS Curio/Scylla) (C Scylla/St.) so I divided it evenly.
