mark wilson27 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Sorry it is very late my apologies.... I will confirm the date of the ceremony when I get my rota for my new job The deadline for this final round of voting will be midnight (GMT) February 4th 2024 You will need to send your votes to the following email awardsfms@gmail.com and claim your vote here. Any votes not claimed here will not be counted. The main thing in this round is that all authors that have stories must vote if they want their stories to win. The more votes the merrier. You will be able to vote twice in each category, in the Hall of Fame it only one vote for in either the story or member vote The Hall of Fame is alittle different as is in, for someone or a story to earn Hall of Fame status they or it must get at least two thirds of the vote (So if 9 people vote at least 6 needs to have voted for said story/forum member) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Individual Awards The Terk/Raptor/Wilson Builder's Award: This is awarded to the FMS forum member who does the most for the forum on an ongoing basis. Anyone can be awarded this so get your thinking caps on and make your choice Writer of the Year: Some of the best members of the boards have been bestowed this honour, with some winning it on multiple occasions. This is the highest honour on the board apart from being inducted into the FMS Hall of Fame. So again who is the writer that has got you clued to the forum, now its your time to see if your vote can give them this high honour Best Story Character Whilst some stories are just match report based, others have characters that bring the story to life. You have your characters from Rob Ridgway to Tina Powell that bring the story alive for your entertainment. The only rule with this category is that no character can win this award twice. If your unsure PM me and I will let you know if the character is eligible (I would say look at the FMS Awards Archive but the forum migration has wiped them out for now) (PLEASE TELL ME WHICH STORY THEY ARE FROM) Newcomer of the Year Which new forum member (New onto our part of the forums from the 2022 voting round) has burst onto the scene like Micah Richards Funniest Writer of the Year If one member of the forum has made you laugh out loud, or tickled your pickle (No Jokes please). Then put a vote down for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
