It's about that time again, our yearly awards is coming up in the next few weeks! First will be nominations, then the actual voting, then the winners announced.
But I would like some general feedback from those that were around last year, and also from those who might be newer yet have good ideas on what they'd like to see!
Here is a list of our current categories:
Best Artist Best Forum Name Best Male SlayAliver Best Female SlayAliver Best SlayAliver Best SlayAliver-ship (best SlayAliver couple) Most Likely to Start an Argument Most Sarcastic Most Respected Newbie Most Helpful Master Debater The Captain Hammer Award (biggest ego and only self-nominations allowed, to be fair) The Willow Award (most intelligent) Host With The Most (your favorite moderator) SlayAlive's Five by Five (your favorite/coolest member regardless of post quality, etc) The 'LOL' Award (funniest SlayAliver) The Golden Stake Award (admin chooses exemplary SlayAliver) Storyteller Award (best fan-fic writer) Lord of the Banners (best banner maker) Most Addicted SlayAliver Whedon Hoarder (biggest collector of merchandise) Topher's Choice (biggest gamer! forum games of all kinds) Most Likely to be a Doll (user who changes their Display Name frequently)
Customizer Categories:
Best Customizer 2010 Best Whedonverse Custom Best Whedonverse Custom 2010
Slay-Me Categories:
Favorite Topic/Thread Most Controversial Topic Most Bizarre Topic Favorite Forum Hangout Spot Favorite Whedonverse Production Favorite Comic Issue Buffy Season 8 Favorite Comic Issue Angel Favorite Whedonverse Character

Cool. I think I joined around the end of these last year and had no idea what they were.
I think these two categorys would be cool to add: Biggest Buffyverse Collector - aka someone who knows all about their Buffy collectables, has a great collection and informs people of new products ect
Most Addicted SlayAliver - someone whos never offline/ hangs here non stop
How do they sound?

Yes I can't wait to vote for the first time in the SA Awards, although I voted no at top cause I got nothing going on here in the brain. However, I think MB ideas are cool.
Edit - I thought of something. Most Frequent Username Changed. I already have a couple people in head. Them and their 6 different names. Retracting vote.

Could we break out the Best Artist and Best Writer into more categories? Best Layout Artist Best Banner Artist Best Artist (not layouts or banners)
Best Story Writer Best Poet Best Writer on the Forum (threads)
The titles may not be the best, but I hope you understand what I am getting at. Our artisitic and literary talent has exploded over the past year with the new contests (Layouterama, Bannerama, Scribes Challenge in addition to the forums for Fan-Art & Graphics and the Fan-Fic and Creative Writing).
How about Best Gamer or Best Game-maker (for the SlayAlive Challenge Games like the BB House, Role Playing Games, the Villager Games, etc.)

We should probably clarify that "Best Writer" and "Best Artist" refer to non-professionals. Pretty sure we had Brian Lynch nominated in the "Best Writer" category last year, which isn't entirely fair. However, if we wanna add a "Best Professional Writer/Artist/Colorist/Letterer/etc" category, that would be swell too.

Thanks for the ideas, I chose some of them! To be added:
Storyteller Award (best fan-fic writer to replace 'Best Writer') Lord of the Banners (best banner maker) Most Addicted SlayAliver Whedon Hoarder (biggest collector of merchandise) Topher's Choice (biggest gamer! forum games of all kinds) Most Likely to be a Doll (user who changes their Display Name frequently)
What do you think?

Those all sound great! We should have a most obsessed one, for the member who is most passionate about something, adn always talking about it adn reflecting it in their banners and avatars and stuff (be it Whedon-related or otherwise)

How about a award to the member who always has the best avtar/banner set? Maybe include how the combine banners/sugnatures, avatars and customs titles?

Oh, that explains the karma bump. Thanks Ray.
I love the "Most likely...." category. That could be expanded perhaps to include more if we come up with them, though our list is looking pretty full as of yet.
The only thing I could think of to add is Best Researcher or something to the effect of best slayaliver who posts info on comics, shows, etc. that would be otherwise hard to find.

Maybe we could have a "Best all-rounder" category- In was thinking for the person who posts on the widest range of threads (e.g. Firefly, Dollhouse, Buffy, Angel, Heroes and music etc.) but you can interpret it how you like

I think we should have subcategories of Best Artist. Because Graphic Art and actually drawing are very different mediums.

We usually have Best Signature as well.

For the customs section I'd suggest adding these:
-Best Non-Whedonverse Custom -Most Improved Customizer -Best Buffy Summers Custom -Best Mini -Most Creative Custom
& instead of having generic Whedonverse categories, break it into these:
-Best Buffy the Vampire Slayer Custom -Best Angel (the show) Custom -Best Firefly/Serenity Custom -Best Dollhouse Custom
& then Best Custom of the Year
