Of The Month Awards Welcome to the OTM Awards! Below, you'll find information on the different categories of awards we hold every month and how to submit your nominations! We post a shout out on the Aeipathy Discord server whenever it is time to submit your nominees! Remember: submitting a full roster of suggestions will gain you member points! Have fun, everyone! Character of the Month Nominations for this category need to be characters that you feel are stretching themselves and developing on the site in an amazing way. This could be a newcomer writer who has worked really hard at integrating their addition into the world of Aeipathy. Or perhaps an oldie but goodie who has sustained their momentum ever since joining. Perhaps there's a character on the site currently going through a transformation or process of character development that you find particularly interesting or courageous of their creator? Any and all nominations for these reasons will be added for this category. Romance of the Month This one is just what it says on the tin. The relationship can be of any sexuality or any level (brand new to long-term married, it doesn't matter) and can be at any stage currently on the site (blissful happiness or heartbreak galore). The only rule is that both sides of the relationship must be being played - this cannot be a single writer and an NPC. This award is about sharing the love between two writers! You cannot nominate a romance where your character is one of the main couple. Dynamic of the Month These nominations are for a particular relationship/dynamic between two playable characters that is anything except romantic. This might be a friendship, a rivalry, a hatred situation, maybe familial or sibling based... any relationship dynamic that you have found to be interesting on the site goes here, including relationships that may, someday, develop into a romance but aren't quite there yet. Like with the Romance award, you cannot nominate a dynamic that your character is one half of. Thread of the Month Simply put - any thread on the site that you have found to be personally fascinating or a must-read can be nominated for this award. The rules on this one are simple: it must be specifically a single thread - not a whole series of them - and it needs to have had a post in the last month. Threads that are nominated for this category are vivid, exciting and have you on the edge of your seat, ready to read more. You cannot nominate a thread you are personally in, unless it is an Event/Provincial Story/Quest thread. Moment of the Month Had a moment this month where you've been reading something and your jaw has just dropped? An OMG or an LOL moment? That would be what we're looking for in this award's nominees. If there is a moment that has made you go into shock, laugh out loud or flat out burst into tears (you - not your characters) then this is the category you need to put it forward for! Give a shout out to other people's writing and let the rest of the community catch up on the not-to-be-missed keystones of our storytelling! You cannot nominate a singular moment in which your character was a key player. However, you can nominate a moment that occurs in a thread your character is a part of, so long as they are not instrumental in that particular development. House / Faction of the Month If you think that there's a particular House on the site that have been bubbling with interesting plots or getting stuck into the global stories then this is the section you want to nominate them for! This could be a House that has very few characters in play but who the writers are really pushing with. Or it could be a House that is over-flowing with characters who just won't stop with their awesomeness. This is also the section to nominate a Faction or Order (instead of a House) if you prefer as these operate in similar ways! You cannot nominate a House or Faction that your own characters are a part of. AU Ship of the Month This one is really just for the funsies and was created through special request by our community way back when. If you want to make a shout out to a romantic relationship that looks unlikely to ever happen on the site but would just be really fun to read? Go for it and vote it for this category. You never know - you might prompt the character creators to make it happen for reals! Submitting Your NominationsTo submit your nominations, simply copy and paste the below code and send it on the site or DM your choices to our Instigator on Discord! You'll receive a member point for every nomination you make - Character, Romance, Dynamic etc. The more categories you nominate for, the more points you gain! One nomination per category permitted and you cannot nominate your own character(s).
