.....with a nod to the quality of work enjoyed by us all over this period, the voting was spread out widely, with one story just pipping the others to the award this time around....................

Next on the agenda, and the penultimate award for this evening is the much coveted 'Story of the Year' Award. With every story written or continued over the period between awards events eligible, it's easy to see why this Award is one of the highest honours that can be bestowed upon a piece of work........

That was very unexpected. I consider myself very fortunate to get moderator privileges for looking after a corner of the Boards that actually runs itself quite efficiently with not a great deal of need to 'moderate' people's posts at all. Thank you very much to all who voted, and also a huge thank you to Mark Wilson27, without who I'd never get much of anything done here, and certainly wouldn't have been able to cobble this event together. Thank you very much folks.

...we're in to the last quarter of the evening now, I've thrown that reference in there as a nod to our transatlantic friends......
I'm told that this final trio of awards are widely considered to be the 'big three'. Not to demean any of the awards that have been given out so far of course.....but it would seem the consensus is that no one gives a sh*t about any of those.......#awkward.........wish someone had told me that before I spent so long counting votes and writing this lot......

I'm reliably informed that security have been made aware of trespassers in the stadium, and are being sent to deal with us!
Fun fact. After a Spurs fan attempted to kick Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the recent North London Derby here, the club asked the guilty party to hand themselves in so they could ban him........7,462 fans claimed it was them who had aimed the boot at Ramsdale........
.....anyway, we're going off topic........

Our last awards night saw a new entrant into the Hall of Fame for the first time in ten years, as my esteemed moderator colleague Mark Wilson27 was voted into the Writers Hall of Fame for his enormous writing contribution over the years here at FMS.
Sadly, we have failed to hit the mark for any writers or stories to be inducted this time around, though one writer did come within a couple of votes of joining Mark and others in the history books of our corner of the forums.
So please folks, don't forget to vote of course, but when doing so check the eligibility of both writers and stories, and give them your vote if you read a piece of work that you feel is deserving.

So we're now getting into the business end of the voting folks, and at this point our attention turns to the 'Hall Of Fame'.....

The field is large, but the winner is declared by a landslide here, picking up over half of the votes submitted.....
A return to award winning for CFuller, and his '25 Years' story that has captivated many across the forum over the last year or so, and could well feature over many Awards Nights to come. Congratulations to you Mr Fuller!

The 'English Story of the Year' award is the next to take centre stage tonight......

Congratulations once again Mr Wilson!

....and for the first time this evening we don't have a clear winner, with three stories tied for the award....
Och Aye The Noo The Wanderers Are Coming For You by Mark Wilson27 is a winner for the second year in a row, and is joined by Mission :- Conquer Scotland by neilhoskins77 and A Trip Down 'The Bann', The Return To Ulster - A Chance To Rewrite History Part V by neilhoskins77....
So as you can see the voting was very tight. Worth noting that the result would have been very different had some other members cast their votes....

Award #7 for this evening, and we move onto the 'Rest of the UK Story of the Year'.
It's a fairly small field for this one......

Folks, we're now at the halfway point of this evenings proceedings. In classy events we would probably stop for a 'mid- session interval' or something equally fancy.
We won't be doing that here. I'm going to level with you, the coats over your head on the way in wasn't actually anything to do with paparazzi, or keeping your real identity secret.
I haven't actually paid to hire this venue at all, in fact we're technically trespassing. But as there's nothing to steal with someone beating us to the carpet, and very little to damage either, we might as well finish this event off, it's Spurs after all, everybody leaves early, let's be trend setters and stay till the end no matter how bad it is......

....this year the award was won by a single vote, as we only had one character voted for that could win due to the rule that no one character can win this award on multiple occasions.....
and with that in mind, the winner is 'Cambodian Pele', one of the stars of the 'Ultimate World Football Manager Save', as Jon1982 picks up a second award of the evening. Congratulations once more Jon!

Let's crack on and make it a nice round half a dozen of awards given out this evening, and this one is for the 'Best Story Character of the Year'.......

....it's another close vote, but once again we have a winner retaining their award from last year, as 'The Ultimate World Football Manager Save' is chosen once again, and its author Jon1982 continues to pick up awards for his story about his efforts to turn the fortunes of Cambodia's Electricity Company football team into C-League heavyweights. Many congratulations Jon!

Our fifth award to be handed out this evening is for the bragging rights when it comes to the best 'Rest of the World Story'.
Stories from far flung corners of the footballing universe can often introduce us to the names of players and people that can go down in FMS folk history, and have us rooting for teams we may never have even heard of before from our favourite armchair........ with a pipe and slippers......just me maybe.......

....but I do know a man who has won it. And this year, once again going back to back, it's the Forum's funniest moderator and Funniest Writer of the Year once more, Mark Wilson27!
Thanks for keeping us entertained as well as in order Mr Wilson, and congratulations on taking home this award once again.

Ironically, if we'd had this conversation before the Awards, I might have voted for one of you two......

Next up on our tightly packed schedule is the 'Funniest Writer of the Year' gong. A bit of humour in a story can certainly help gain it a cult following, and we are fortunate enough to have several writers amongst our community who excel in this art. I have never won this award myself personally, so I cannot claim to be one of them......thanks for your votes t*ssers.....
