tenthreeleader Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 And the winner, to the surprise of absolutely no one, is: Mark Wilson27. In seriousness, this forum would be a much different place (and, in fact, might not exist at all) were it not for Mark’s steadfastness in posting and keeping house during a time of declining use. He made the awards happen, he keeps us loose and finds new ways to involve the community. Thank you so much, Mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenthreeleader Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Special Announcement #2 It has also been said that the FMSer of the Year award is called “the Mods award” because mods always seem to win it. In a sense, that’s understandable due to the services mods perform. However, Mark is not a mod. Until now. He’s finding out with the rest of you, but beginning Monday morning, Mark’s name will be added to the list of SEGA moderators for the FMS Forum. Tenthreeleader and Gavrenwick will remain as mods but this seems a fitting way to honor Mark’s service. Congratulations to FMS’ “gaffer” for a job very well done.

tenthreeleader Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 It’s time now for the Big Two, beginning with the Story of the Year award. This past year, and especially the last few months, have seen an influx of talented writers and good story ideas, both in long and short-term saves. Winning this award isn’t easy, as to win it you must either post a long-term number of posts or cover a full season of play. The nominees are: The Journeyman Chronicles - chesterfan2 Another Night In Istanbul (Short Story) - CFuller [FM15] Malone Again, Naturally - tenthreeleader Welcome to Romford - CFuller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenthreeleader Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 This leads us to the ultimate award in FMS and the final award of the evening, the Writer of the Year award. Some of the greats of our boards have won this award, which is the top tribute members can pay to an individual short of the FMS Hall of Fame. We should note that this year we have not selected a Newcomer of the Year due to the amount of wait time between awards ceremonies. I hear that’s Ridgway’s fault, the slob. Or at least the guy who created him. That’s why Wilson’s now a mod … Any writer who begins an award-eligible story in the FM15 release year will be eligible for the Newcomer of the Year award beginning next year when we meet again. That said, the nominees for the 2015 FMS Writer of the Year award are: neilhoskins77 markwilson27 tenthreeleader CFuller chesterfan2 EvilDave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFuller Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It felt a little strange to see my first two stories both get nominated for Story of the Year, and I'll admit to being a little embarrassed. That said, I'm a very proud man right now, and I'm glad that I one day plucked up the courage to publish my work. Thank you, guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very difficult field and I would like to acknowledge everyone's work. Winning is nice -- but everyone nominated makes everyone else better, and that's the whole point.
