Rita Skeeter Award:
‘What if…’
The reason being is because I really enjoyed reading this thread and it's just really cute!

Gilderoy Lockhart Award:
Bradyn Reed
Nicole does great sigs, and even if I thought I was amazing at sigs and whatever (which I really dont) then I still wouldn't vote for myself.

Laverne de Montmorency Award:
Daniel Hubbles & Dia Hubbles
What can I say? Ridd's loved up couple! Fled of to Egypt and got married

Peeves Award:
Jackson Shaw
He makes me giggle even when he shouldn't!

Albus Dumbledore Award:
Daniel Hubbles
Well, even though he's getting on a bit (sorry Liz, that was Will coming out of me and automatically teasing him ) we all still love the notorious Mister Hubbles don't we?

Godric Gryffindor Award:
Bryn Kennedy
Just because he's so damn protective over his sisters! And he's a prefect, and rather hunky!

Helga Hufflepuff Award:
Girty Hubbles
Girty just kicks ass at whatever she does!

Rowena Ravenclaw Award:
Felicity Locke
Fay deserves this, just because she's a swell gal!

Salazar Slytherin Award:
Erys Grace
Who hasn't had the claws of Erys in them? She is probably a legendary Slytherin!

The JK Rowling Award:
Amy
Her writing has so much depth in it and I really admire her vocab that she uses. It was close because they are all amazing!!

The Liz Award
Liz
An award only for a special little Hufflepuff called Liz who without her all of this could not of been possible and Ridd would of probably died long ago. We do appreciate you Liz, and I will make you a giant jaffa cake for your prize! Love you!! xoxo

(Okay so I really did not want to choose here but you know how it can be when someone pesters you to do something and you feel all pressurized to do it. I love all the RPers who were up for nomination and I dont partculary want to choose between them. Though I have. Thank heaven for peer pressure.)

[Girty Hubbles]

Why is everyone being so sodding diplomatic hahaha! Right, I was not going to put my votes up here but I am going to show you how it should be done! Big headed, bias and above all else HONEST!!!!

Rita Skeeter Award
‘What if…’
(ooo controversy straight away with Liz voting for herself. But here is my reason! ‘What if…’ is different from everything else on the site. It is an original idea with it being set in a parallel universe and so far has given Robyn and myself a chance to look at other side of our characters and work out what could have happened to them and thus how it would have affected their personalities. Also we have put a lot of effort into it as so far it is 26 posts long containing 19, 315 words and I know that at some points the writing (on my behalf) can be a bit lumpy it still brings a smile to my face.
So after that ramble I shall explain the others…I LOVED Shrieking Chill, in fact I almost voted for it as like you guys have said the writing in that thread is at such a high standard it is crazy. The imagery that is used just…well wow it is amazing but in my eyes I voted for the thread with the best all round, so the writing, plot, character development ect…This was also the reason why I did not vote for Torpid as once again the writing in that thread is soooo good and I laughed a fait bit when reading it but like I said I wanted to vote for the best all round thread I felt like it just lack something…*shrugs*

So yeah haha how is that for beasty explanation and Liz trying to shed her fears of guilt for voting for herself haha)

Gilderoy Lockhart Award
Via Thorn
(I joked with myself when I voted for Via about which Celeb I liked her best with as what is she onto her 4th now SJ dear??? But yeah I love SJ’s graphics soo much and her ones for Via always seem to be at the highest of standards!)

Laverne de Montmorency Award
Daniel Hubbles & Dia Hubbles
(Here we go again Liz is voting for herself…but out of the nominations these two are like…well ok hahaha, I was going to say going strong but yeah, last term they got married hahaha so I guess that has to count for something…but I mean Ash and Cris died YEARS ago and although Maxie and Laney are cute they just have not done enough. So yeah those are my rather short and blunt reasons!)

Peeves Award
William Vaid
(SJ and Will are amazing!!! I mean if you want a laugh then do a thread with them I mean SJ comes up with some amazing lines for Will and they make me double over laughing all the time! This vote might be slightly bias as Will is Dan’s best mates and most of the threads we have been in together but SJ makes them!!! *high fives*)

Albus Dumbledore Award
Daniel Hubbles
(Hahaha I swear this is the last time I shall vote for myself because I do not think I deserve any of the others to be honest haha! But yeah…ok I honestly have no reason to vote for Dan other then my deep love for him! He is my favourite character, I like to think he is good for any thread at any moment and yeah…this one was very big headed of me to be honest but… *shrugs* I did not vote for Hannah because although Lexi is doing an amazing job, in my eyes, and I could be wrong, her character is still developing and Will…ok well Will is giving Dan a good run for his money but he is just a cheap copy of the amazing Dan Hubbles hehehe *runs away before SJ can kill me*)

Godric Gryffindor Award
Bryn Kennedy
(Bryn is a true Gryffindor and Dan plays him so well! Although I was torn between him and Brooke I thought that the way Dan rp’s Bryn just stole the show for me!)

Helga Hufflepuff Award
Ellie Rook
(Ellie is the new queen of Hufflepuff, as much as it pains me to say. And to be honest I would not have handed the title to anyone else! Lynn is an amazing writer and Ellie is such a cooool character!)

Rowena Ravenclaw Award
Alexis Heart
(This was another really hard one to pick as the standard of Ravenclaw’s are so sodding high…might be because there are so many of them haha. But I picked Lexi as I love how she rp’s and also she has been on the site for sooooo long I thought she deserved a bit of recognination! Though I do love rping with Bry and Fay <3)

Salazar Slytherin Award
Narcissus Drachen
(I think I am like the one straying away from the common trend here, and I do love Erys as yes she is the ultimate Slytherin! However I have gone for Narc just because I know the effort Amy puts into when role playing him and although the posts are short they are soooooooo good and they leave me speechless every time, or if not I would be laughing my socks off at his sliminess haha!)

The JK Rowling Award
Amy
(I am sorry there is no contest with this one, Amy IS the best writer on Ridd. She may not be as active as some of us and it may take her a while to respond but when she does, maaaaaan it is worth waiting for! Over the years I have seen Amy improve so much and I have had some amazing threads with her…and last term it would be hard to find anyone’s writing as good as her posts are Yorick in Shrieking Chill and as Narcissus!
Kaitlyn, I love your role playing soo much I mean you do evil sooo well but then with the creation if Willa and your other Ravenclaw’s you proved to us all that you can do other personal traits. I love reading all of your threads man!!!
SJ…dude you have improved so much over this term it is amazing. If there was an award for most improved Role Player you would in it hands down dude! I know you say your crap but hahaha your posts are funny, contain amazing description and the thought you put into your characters personalities are amazing! *cuddles*
Also thanks to all of you who nominated for me! *hugs*)


So there you go people! How to be fair and big headed all at the same time! Do not be scared to vote for people...I know picking the best writer is hard but you have all picked peeps for everything else...trust me no one will eat you if you do not vote for them! However I may eat you if I see anymore blank spaces people!!! *evil glare*

[Narcissus Drachen]

(I did write gigantic huge paragraphs for my reasoning, but was only half done by the time it came to post, as I’m going away tomorrow and this’ll be my last chance. I didn't think it'd be fair to put nice compliments next to some votes and not others!)

Girty Hubbles

Rowena Ravenclaw Award
Felicity Locke

Salazar Slytherin Award
Narcissus Drachen
(I’ve just put too much effort into Narcissus to pretend I feel any differently. Whether people see it or not, he’s the most challenging persona I’ve ever created. His voice and narrative style have taught me to be very experimental and away from my own mind, so thank you to Liz and SJ for what you said - it means so damn much to me!)

The JK Rowling Award
Liz & SJ
(Joint for several reasons. Liz for having always been there, having grown, and being one of the reasons I’m here and write at all. SJ for taking the site by storm and improving so much I can hardly believe my eyes! I wish I had time to express my awe properly, but I'm currently in the middle of packing. )

[Ellie Rook]

Rita Skeeter Award:
‘What if…’
Dan and Dia, enough said. I have an over whelming jealously love of those two. <3

Gilderoy Lockhart Award:
Bradyn Reed
Nicole is an artist with her mouse and photoshop.

Laverne de Montmorency Award:
Daniel Hubbles & Dia Hubbles
No contest. They are the couple every couple (ridd and true life alike) strives to be like. I enjoy every thread they have together. I completely love that Dia wheres the pants in the family too...

Peeves Award:
Daniel Hubbles
Liz is amazing with this character. He is funny when he doesn't even try to be.

Albus Dumbledore Award:
Daniel Hubbles
God, I feel like a Hubbles Groupie. I really don't mean to be, I just love his character, and his is the life and soul of Ridd. at the moment. He is so important to Hogwarts, and Liz has taken on that role magnificently.

Godric Gryffindor Award
Bryn Kennedy
Lets face it, cute, and completely over protective. GRYFFINDOR!


Helga Hufflepuff Award:
Ellie Rook
I hate voting for myself, but I love Ellie, and she is the epitome of a Hufflepuff. From a completely unbiased point of view (if that is possible) I think that her personality which has develop from interaction with everyone else's outstanding writings, she has become the perfect Hufflepuff.

Rowena Ravenclaw Award:
Alexis Heart
ughh. I couldn't choose between Aly and Nicole! However, I believe that Aliexis has never strayed from the shy, nose to book persona of a true Ravenclaw! Bravo! It's quite hard to pull off!

Salazar Slytherin Award:
Erys Grace
Ah, miss Grace. Ellie hates you, and Avaleigh basically wanted to kill you off and over take your throne. You helped change the tides for future Slytherins everywhere and are the frontline in the fight against silly half-baked Slytherin scum! love yah! <3


The JK Rowling Award:
Liz
One of the hardest choices ever! However, I choose Liz, not only for her amazing talent at writing and her ability to keep us coming back for more and more of all her characters, but for her devotion and dedication to Ridd, something very few of us can ever even hope to live up too. We would all agree that Ridd would have died long ago, would it be from mutiny or just lack of enthusiasm, in any case Liz has kept as all going and giving us a slap in the ass when we needed it the most! Thanks Liz!
