[Anja Boujinsky]

Your Name: Shaggy
Which Catagory?: MoTM
Your Nomination: Rin
Reasoning: Have you seen her posts? They're not only amazing, but their enthralling and entertaining. She's always friendly in the cbox, and very loved, and loving back <3

[Leolyn Starr]

Your Name:Riri
Which Catagory?:MotM
Your Nomination:Danielle
Reasoning:Good holy moley. Dani is a ton of fun to roleplay with. Her characters are well thought out and she always gives you something to respond to. She is super encouraging and friendly. She likes to involve everyone even if they are brand new. In short Danielle=Awesome

Your Name:Riri
Which Catagory?:TotM
Your Nomination:This is not the impression he wanted: animalshift.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=male&action=display&thread=1996&page=1
Reasoning:First off, it is super fun to write. In fact me and Danielle stayed up ridiculously late just roleplaying this scene. Second off, it's super cute the way Leo and Tony interact. They aren't entirely sure what their relationship is and so they are both confused. The way that Leo gets under Tony's skin and vice versa is made of cute. Plus it's long, but it doesn't seem that way because it is fast paced. in short, best thread.

[Zander Alesnia]

Your Name: Dymetri
Which Category?: MotM
Your Nomination: Katheryn
Reasoning: Her characters are unique and so is she. She always tries to cheer everyone up when they are sad and she brings good energy to the c-box.

Your Name: Dymetri
Which Category?: TotM
Your Nomination: Contained Yet Spontaneous Combustion
Reasoning: It shows the emotion between Zander and Mel's relationship. It also shows a different side of Zander. Also, it's full of firsts. It's sweet and cute. As I am the one roleplaying it, find that it is amusing and it builds up my own emotions as well as Zander's. Contrast is the other member of this roleplay and she has told me that it is so sweet she went into sugar coma. This was fun to roleplay. My favorite part to roleplay was him yelling then kissing Mel. It's sweet and it strikes my heart just right.

Note: I was informed there was going to be a couple of the month this month... but, I did not see it on the list.

[Dimitri Zhukov]

Your Name: Dimitri
Which Catagory?:MOTM
Your Nomination:Rin
Reasoning: In a word, Rin is win. She's super fun to talk with and is usually very sweet. She's got a unique and lavished posting style that's always enjoyable to read and respond to. She's a great role-player and better friend. She's always active and helpful in the c-box or on site, and she puts up with quite a bit, *points to self*, lol. So I feel she deserves to be recognized. We all love Rin, let's show her. ^-^

[Sieffre De Sauveterre]

Your Name: Sieffre.
Which Catagory?: MOTM
Your Nomination: Kevlar~
Reasoning: Need I say it. Not only does Kevlar juggle characters but also the applications. Taking the time to write both wonderful to read posts as well as help people through their apps and convince them to put more effort in to finishing them is no small feat.

[Lelaina Bellamour]

Your Name: Rintintin ;3 nah just call me Rin ^-^
Which Catagory?: thread of the month!
Your Nomination: //dig.it.up__andTEARit[down]•••Luke
Reasoning:I'm rather biased as I'm currently rping in this particular thread with James, but that does not take away the sheer magnitude of brilliance that this thread has in abundance. Yes, it takes place during the hurricane, and therefore already has a little bit of action (extreme action, as windows break, dorms flood, floors crumble underfoot) but it is also heavily intertwined with personal trauma and a character growth that is, in my mind, borderline delirious. Luke and Rin (the characters portrayed in this thread) both have their personal problems, but when they are suddenly pitched against the chaos of Hurricane X, they are forced to rely on each other and find the boundaries of their budding friendship. Personally, I can't get enough of this thread, and it pains me to know I have to disappear for a week on vacation. However I know it shall still be here! And hopefully so shall James >.> <.< >.> so ...w00t for nominations!

[Ethan Daniels]

Hopefully it's not too late for me to post this...

Your Name: Luke
Which Catagory?: Thread of the Month
Your Nomination: ew.. Books? {open}
Reasoning: So it all started out as me replying to an open thread, then with the hurricane, it became a lot more. Not only is it fun to RP in, but all three of us have beaten out personal bests for word count. It's got everything: a little drama, anger, insults, and then there's Mollie and Melany, two characters meeting after being seperated when they were two. And then there's my character! Just kinda stuck in the middle and arguing with Mollie It's an awesome thread, to read and RP.

[Remi Lucien Fitzroy]

Your Name: Remi
Which Catagory?: COTM
Your Nomination: Sieffre De Sauveterre
Reasoning: Sieffre is a complex, well thought-out character. True to the nature of his shift, Sieff is timid and shy - and will often bolt at the first sign of danger. It goes to show, within posts done with this character, just how much thought was put into his creation. He's constantly thrown into drama between his homophobic friend, Dimi, and his friends that are actually gay. The poor kid even fell into the ocean and suffered an illness afterwards. Plain and simple, this amazing and sweet character deserves some recognition.

[Luke Bowers]

Your Name: James
Which Catagory?: CoTM
Your Nomination: Natsumi Sayuri
Reasoning: I've only had two threads with Rin so far - one last month and one this month. Both have been really awesome. My posts go crazy when we RP. I really like Rin's character, even though she's filled with tragedy and depression, lol. She's pretty insecure and helpless, which really needs Luke to pull through for her. Natsumi really understands Luke in more of a way than almost anybody else does. Her past is really much worse than anything Luke had to deal with, and since he really doesn't trust many people, he's not all that used to have to take care of somebody. The way Rin RP's this character actually helps ME develop Luke even more. I've looked around on the site, and although others have a messed up past, Natsumi really shows hers in every aspect of her life. It doesn't take place in just one thread, but in all of Rin's threads. Her problems follow her everywhere she goes, no matter who she is with.
