Odd they accuse him of being left wing when in his most famous work 1984- the Party is originally socialist- its hardly an endorcment of the left wing..

by Eldorion Fri Nov 30, 2012 6:21 pm

Orwell was a socialist though, just of a more different (more moderate) variety than the sort he criticized in 1984. Smile

Hey Petty I cant believe you left out THERE AND BACK AGAIN (or finding Frodo) by the Archet bugle. Its got to be the funniest story of the year.

Extremely Crabbit

put it on the list. Extremely Crabbit

and I have a sneaking suspicion Hannah and Ethel is by Her Swearyness. Very Happy

we should have a Best Bear Tale too. Very Happy

by Pettytyrant101 Sat Dec 01, 2012 4:19 pm

The Bugle is a Forumshire newspaper and has always been in the paper awards. Its in this years.
However given the fact all the Bugle really produces is Wholesome Tales perhaps its seperate tales should be considered seperatly.
The problem there would be it leaves only leaves State News and Pure Publication in the newspaper category and State News has not published very much this year.

i'd like to nominate ally's jaws of forumshire as best translated poem What a Face

by Eldorion Sat Dec 01, 2012 5:22 pm

The Bugle still does reporting separate from the Wholesome Tales stories, doesn't it? I don't see why they couldn't be counted separately.

We need some more short stories though, I think. Suspect

Are there any individual Wholesome Tales that people want to nominate?

There and back again by the Archet Bugle.
The lion the witch and the Wardrobe, and the respectable hobbit, by Anon.

Favourite type of mouthwash

Remember: choice is easy. But when u choose, choose make sure u choose wisely. Sometimes there is no going back. Therein lies the fear. Conquer the fear. Choose.

by Garek the Guard Sat Dec 01, 2012 11:56 pm

Also bubblegum flavored mouthwash is the only 1 that can be voted 4

by Pettytyrant101 Sun Dec 02, 2012 3:19 am

Ive added 'There and back again by Anon' to the short story awards (or was it a serial? scratch

- I admit to a drop or two of buckie and therefore didnt bother my arse checking drunken

)

Should I also add 'The lion the witch and the Wardrobe'- or should each author only get 1 nomination in each category?

by Eldorion Fri Dec 07, 2012 4:30 pm

So are we going to start voting on the 14th or so, then?

by Pettytyrant101 Fri Dec 07, 2012 4:33 pm

Sounds good to me Eldo.
So if there any last minute suggestions for the forum categories now is the time to make them. Otherwise voting will open on the 14th.

by Mrs Figg Sun Dec 16, 2012 10:39 pm

well? its er...now the 16th .....didnt want to mention it....no pressure or anything...I know you have other things to do Rolling Eyes

cant think what Rolling Eyes

but ....some of us need cheering up after watching the Hobbit.... Very Happy

by Pettytyrant101 Mon Dec 17, 2012 4:03 am

I meant to have something up tonight- but instead I panicked- then had some buckie to calm down and get on with some work, but I just had the buckie instead- then realised I hadnt actually done any work at all and panickd again.

Sexy librarian. I am sure to win.

I want more time for Forumshire!!! I don't have ANY! Someone must pay!

I have some great lines. "The love between us is overdue"/"I'm checking YOU out today." Thoughts?

by **Amarië** Fri Dec 21, 2012 8:58 am

Well, I don't know about the others, Ally, but that made me all giggly. Nod

I hear these guys are hired for the Award show. I hope it's true! Though we might want to keep 'em off the buckie, they went a bit... Scothobbit-ish at the end there...
