Just to clarify, this isn't late so much as a planned lateness, we decided to let the June awards stay up a little longer so as to give those award recipients a slightly fairer share of the glory
But that's over now! Here are the awards of the month for July!
Member of the Month- Spoiler:
Chastity Moor
Now, this is a break in tradition for us, because generally we admins refuse to put staff members in the awards of the month, we like to reward you guys you see, we're not here to be rewarded, you are.
However Chase is new to this all, and she's been doing a
brilliant job in the position of advertising mod, posting our link (And even creating an ad) on all sorts of sites, as well as creating a facebook page for us. Advertising is an incredibly important aspect of work for a site such as this one, and it's brilliant to have someone so dedicated on the job for it, kudos to you Chase, we all owe you one
Character of the Month- Spoiler:
Damien D'Eath
Given to Madd (Damien's player) for her brilliant characters this past few weeks. She's a new member, and yet she was something like the 5th highest poster from just one of her accounts. If we'd added them all together, I think she'd probably have beaten us all. As well as great posting, she's also done some great character establishment, so it's for that reason that this award went to her!
Post of the Month- Spoiler:
Calvin S. Ransom wrote:“Look at it!” Calvin squealed at the top of his lungs to no one in particular as he darted towards one of the petting zoo’s smallest baby llamas, his eyes wide and gangly arms outstretched. “It’s so fuzzy!” he shouted enthusiastically, and folded over the wire fence that stood between him and the animal he was so fond of, so to hug the creature tightly. “Awww! You are the cutest thing in the world!” he cued, and immediately decided that he would never part with the llama. Reid would surely approve of the animal; Calvin could not think of a single person he’d ever met who could turn down something so precious.
“Careful now, sir,” the owner of the tent warned Calvin while taking a swig from the bottle of water that he held loosely in one of his hands.
The man wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, and stepped towards Calvin, “That one is a feisty. He’ll bite you if your not” – but he was interrupted by an abrupt scream from Calvin. As it turned out, the carnie hadn’t been lying when he’d said that the llama would willingly take a bite out of Calvin.
“My ear! My ear!” Calvin screamed, pressing one of his palms flat over his new injury.
“Hey, I warned you,” the other man said with a sigh, but his words could not be heard over Calvin’s howling. “I’m bleeding!” Calvin screamed, and surely enough, as he removed his hand from the side of his head, he revealed what was left of his torn and bloodied ear. Tears began to spill from Calvin’s eyes and slither down his cheeks as the pain worsened and his fear of having lost his ear entirely settled in.
The llama made a gurgling noise in response to Calvin’s shouts; the laughter of an evil, evil creature...
Another note - this isn't a permanent award, we just wanted to mix things up a little.
This post won because it made us all giggle a bit. It's perfect proof to the argument that your post doesn't need to be unbelievably long, your character doesn't need to be serious, nor does it have to be perfect, and of course you don't need to delve into deep literary motifs and techniques, you simply have to post something worth reading!
I hope you all enjoyed this month's awards, congrats to those of you who won, and better luck next time for those of you who didn't. Keep in mind that we're gonna be trying to spice up at least one award a month, so try doing something really out there and just continue to be awesome all of you!
