The Melanie Rawn Board Academy Awards!

**Kir'rei** · 12-13-2004, 11:30 AM

This is just a stupid thread I made up because I'm bored (sorry to all of you who hate that). For those people, you can also look at it as a nice way to recognize all the hard work, love, and devotion that our fellow fans put into this board. Please post your favorite(s) for each category.

1.) Best Dragon Prince Themed Thread

2.) Best Exiles Themed Thread (not Collan related)

3.) Best Golden Key Themed Thread

4.) Best Michael Whelan Themed Thread

5.) Best General Discussion Themed Thread

6.) Best Film, Music and TV Themed Thread

7.) Best Other Authors Themed Thread

8.) Best Website Comments Themed Thread (?)

9.) Best Collan Research and Analysis Themed Thread

10.) Best Thread Creator Award (the award for the person who consistantly comes up with the most unique, interesting, fun, and thought-provoking threads.)

11.) Most Loyal and Passionate MR Fan Award (the board member who does the most work for both this site and in service to MR. Her biggest fan. Ok . . . basically just vote for yourself!)

12.) Most Congenial Award (the person who most makes this board a fun place to be.)

13.) Best All-Around Thread (most interesting, fun, etc. thread of ALL the board.)

Anyhoo, I just thought it would be a fun way to recognize the people who have spent so much time on this board. Have fun!

**dragons_fire** · 12-13-2004, 12:10 PM

**navigator** · 12-13-2004, 01:37 PM

Ooooh for number 12 I nominate Hollis!

**dragons_fire** · 12-13-2004, 01:47 PM

yeah navigator, ditto that one, Hollis for number 12!

**Cailie** · 12-13-2004, 01:53 PM

For #1 I'd like to nominate Kir-Rei for "Character Book Titles You'll Never See"

For #7 I would like to nominate Hollis for "things that bug you in Fantasy novels"

For #9 I'd like to nominate Ara for "Most of Collan's secrets-- revealed? Ara's long awaited speculation! Spoilers abound!"

I would also like to note the scarcity of non-Collan related threads on the Exiles board.

**Deniasha** · 12-13-2004, 01:58 PM

For #12, I would like to nominate Hollis and Alinya.

For #7, I would like to nominate "You Might Be a Book Addict If.."

For #5, the Venting Thread so we all have a chance to below off some steam and The Kiwi Lounge Thread for giving us a place to relax and hang!

That's all I have at the moment.

**banannie** · 12-13-2004, 02:32 PM

Aww, I got a nod

Thanks dragons_fire.

I'll have to agree with Deniasha for # 5 though, the Venting thread and the Kiwi Lounge rock!

And for #11, I think it must go to Jihan, isn't she who runs this place? If I'm wrong I feel silly but if I'm right then she most definitley deserves it.

I re-thunk and since I originally put Ara for 11, because I was wrong about the name, but obviously there's a reason, she deserves it too, so I'm adding her for it too.

That's all I have for now

Aw, thanks for the nod!
lol, that's funny about the lack of non-Collan related threads in exiles.

**dragons_fire** · 12-13-2004, 04:00 PM

Agree with Cailie :For #9 I'd like to nominate Ara for "Most of Collan's secrets-- revealed? Ara's long awaited speculation! Spoilers abound!"

and

Banannie:

**Renne** · 12-13-2004, 04:34 PM

# 6 Mikostar for TV show and movie trivia
# 12 I immediately thought of Hollis, even before being beaten to the punch by several others!
# 13 Lady Ara

**ladyfantasy** · 12-13-2004, 08:50 PM

9.) Best Collan Research and Analysis Themed Thread
Most of Collan's secrets-- revealed? Ara's long awaited speculation! Spoilers abound!
Except I think that it was kind of screwed over. But it was really, really good!
11.) Most Loyal and Passionate MR Fan Award (the board member who does the most work for both this site and in service to MR. Her biggest fan. Ok . . . basically just vote for yourself!)
Okay. Lady Ara, hands down.

**Lady Ara** · 12-14-2004, 04:04 AM

w00t!!!! Thank you guys so much!!!

for 13 I'm going to have to nominate Glenin for "Shocked herself silly... dedicated to the one, the only, Lady Ara!!!"

**Alisel** · 12-14-2004, 04:19 AM

Brilliant thread! I hereby nominate:

#1 Kir’rei for “The Lost Characters”
#3 Caitiri for “A Challenge...”
#7 Aladra for “You know you’re a book addict when...”
#11 Lady Ara for being seriously obsessed. Jihan deserves a mention, though.
#12 Hollis!

Not exactly an original choice, but she deserves it.

That's it for now. I wish I could come up with something for the remaining categories, but...

**Hollis** · 12-14-2004, 03:00 PM

awe, you all made me blush!

1.) Best Dragon Prince Themed Thread: Ianthe (spoilers and adult content) by Sarra2006 I'm not sure this is the original incarnation of this thread, but it sure made me think a lot more about Ianthe and Rohan and other philosophical matters in the books

2.) Best Exiles Themed Thread (not Collan related): threads about ladders (Fallun started one recently)

3.) Best Golden Key Themed Thread: Caitiri's Challenge thread (because it got people to post in this forum)

4.) Best Michael Whelan Themed Thread: Jenavira's poll on favorite Whelan covers, wherin we argue about Ruval vs Andry and Sioned vs Meiglan.

btw anyone seen Jenavira lately?

5.) Best General Discussion Themed Thread: I was gonig to say The Creator announcing Spellbound

but we were mostly just cheering, Otherwise the political arguments were mostly good fun, and started in large part by Caisha

6.) Best Film, Music and TV Themed Thread: Chani's ( I think)about the Lord of the Rings movies,

7.) Best Other Authors Themed Thread: Aladra's you know you are a book addict thread

8.) Best Website Comments Themed Thread:Jihan's about the site being back up! otherwise the help with icons

9.) Best Collan Research and Analysis Themed Thread: Lady Brenlis

10.) Best Thread Creator Award: Feleron-- I always find myself drawn to check out threads you create, descriptive titles and unusual content I would have missed otherwise

11.) Most Loyal and Passionate MR Fan Award : Lady Ara, duh

I think she's sent the most copyright money to our Creator via her purchase of how many copies of Exiles?

12.) Most Congenial Award: _Alynia_ (for Other Author's discussion he's always got something I'll stick around and read, and have to comment back on) and for the Kiwi Lounge, and _Caishaurianne_ who always has the best come-back and solid information to debunk a theory, especially in the political themed threads but does it with good humor!

13.) Best All-Around Thread: any one by the Creator announcing progress in her writing!

**Sean** · 12-15-2004, 12:51 AM

I'd give 11 to Jihan... afterall, she set this entire place up... and our moderators would take second I think there... I mean... the mods and Jihan not only devote their time to reading/researching our dear creators books; but ALSO to maintaining and running this entire forum... and keeping all of us in line(and let's face it, we're all capable of being... difficult... at times

)

and for the general discussion... I'd say Caisha 'cause she does start/participate in so many of those intriguing discussions...
