OF THE MONTHS!!

Of The Months!

Each month we have our regular Of The Months, where we recognize a character, relationship, and thread that impressed us during the past month! Best part, it's all decided by you, the players!

How Of The Month

Here's how it works. Every month, nominations are opened from the 1st to the 4th. You can nominate in each of the three categories: Character of the Month, Relationship of the Month, and Thread of the Month. When you nominate, you are required to give a few sentences explaining why you nominated what you nominated.

Rules Of The Month

Overall Rules Of The Month

The winners of the previous month's OTMs are ineligible until the next month.

Categories Of The Month

Character of the Month

Character of the Month is to recognize a character that for whatever reason, just resonated with you in the past month. You were impressed by them in some way, shape, or form. It is important to note that you cannot nominate a character that you play, it must be a character played by someone else.

Relationship of the Month

Relationship of the Month is to recognize the bond between two characters that you just loved. This doesn't just have to be a romantic relationship either. Friendships, rivalries, and even just family relations are all fair game in this category. You are allowed to nominate a relationship that you play a character in, however you cannot nominate a relationship in which you play both characters.

Thread of the Month

Thread of the Month is for a specific thread that happened during the past month that you had a great time reading or playing in! Only threads active during the month, meaning that they had posts made in it during the month in question, are eligible. You are allowed to nominate a thread that you participated in, but you are not allowed to nominate a thread in which you were the only contributor.

Vote of the Month

On the 5th, the nominations will be organized into polls and the voting phase will commence! You will have until the 7th to vote in each of the three polls.
You are only allowed to vote ONCE, regardless of how many characters you have. One player, one vote. Once our OTM winners have been decided, their images will go into the sidebar until next month's OTM winners take their places, and a special announcement thread will be created recognizing them, and restating why their nominator chose to bring them up for consideration!

Why Of The Month

The purpose of this monthly award is to promote a spirit of friendly competition and positive feedback. Do your best to write compelling characters, relationships, and threads, and make a point to remember when someone else's impresses you and nominate them when OTMS comes around again!



The staff reserves the right to change the criteria of the OTMS at any time as we see fit.
