mark wilson27 Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 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) Funniest Writer of the Year: Who's the writer that has the story that has made you laugh the most. Who do you think deserves the award as the Funniest Writer of the Year Most Missed FMS'er: Who have you missed in the past year, which writer would you like to see come back. Please note for this award the author must not have started or contributed to his/hers stories throughout the last year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark wilson27 Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 You guys have just over three weeks left to vote, only got five votes in so far And remember if you have a story that is eligible to win an award you must vote for it to stand a chance. The story of the year award this year saw one person miss the chance of progressing after they failed to vote and last year we had another forum member who failed to win an award because they failed to vote.

mark wilson27 Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Right guys this is the final deadline warning. You have 8 hours to place your vote. I have PM'd a lot of the people who haven't voted and are in line for an award. However as of yet most of them haven't voted so therefore could lose out on an award. A lot of the awards are too close to call and every vote counts. Even if your note up for an award please enter your vote. As tenthreeleader will confirm last year we had I think it was two people who missed out on an award because they forgot to vote, and this year it could be the same So come on lads get hold of some of the FMS'ers that you know away from just these forum and get them to vote. Once I get back from work at 3am I will be closing the thread and counting the votes up sometime in the day. If tenthreeleader would be so kind to recount for me to make sure I'm not having a blonde moment that would be appreciated. (I will send you the password etc to the email account if you haven't still got it from last year) Good luck everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhorse21 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 thanks again, mark. It's probably a thankless task to do all of leg work for this. I appreciate you taking the hours it did to put all of this together, including working with the other people to host the awards show. If you know when the awards will be, will you post it again, please. I don't seem to recall what day/hours I need to keep open to join in the fun.
