Planning the 2014 TLS Awards

[Carlie]

Can we have a "Sexiest Voice" category? Nominees must post submissions of themselves saying a line or paragraph of the forum members choosing.

 

[Cthulhu]

Something 50 shades, perhaps?

 

[Joe]

Something 50 shades, perhaps?

Totally down for that. Make it happen.

Totally down for that. Make it happen.

"His pointer finger circled my puckered love cave. ‘Are you ready for this?’ he mewled, smirking at me like a mother hamster about to eat her three-legged young."

This shall be the verse!

 

[Carlie]

The hilarity, we must do this.

edit: I got curious and wanted to see if it was just as awful in Spanish:

Su dedo índice en círculos mi arrugada cueva amor . '¿Estás listo para esto? " Le maulló , sonriéndome como un hámster madre a punto de comer su hijo de tres patas joven .

Good lord that's awful.

 

[Telcontar]

like a mother hamster about to eat her three-legged young.

What the hell? Hamsters eat their kids?

 

[Octo]

What the hell? Hamsters eat their kids?

Yeah, it is known

Lisa Simpson: I want the most intelligent hamster you've got.
Clerk: Okay.
[reaches into a box under the counter]
Clerk: Uh, this little guy writes mysteries under the name of J. D. McGregor.
Lisa Simpson: How can a hamster write mysteries?
Clerk: Well, he gets the ending first, then he writes backward.
Lisa Simpson: Aw, c'mon.
Clerk: Look, kid, just take him before his mother eats him, all right?

 

[Mage]

Lots of mammals eat their young, our guinea pigs did when their run was attacked by next-door-but-one's yampy dog.

We've gone from Fifty Shades to cannibalism. o.O

 

[Cthulhu]

I'd totally mewl that sentence, .

 

[Mage]

Go on then, I wanna hear your interpretation of mewling.

 

[Cthulhu]

So are people going to go through and select their favourite awards? If not I might just go through and select them myself and you might not like what I pick.

At least most do it with reason, from what I hear hamsters sometimes just do it because OH SHIT A SHADOW I MUST SAVE MY BABIES FROM THIS CRUEL WORLD OM NOM NOM NOM. Dumbasses

OT: I'm cool with any ideas so long as I can vote

 

[Flintlock]

I basically agree with Fangu's list of suggestions on the first page. And like Yop said (and like I've said in previous years) I hope we don't go with any awards that can be settled factually, like "most games played".

 

[Airling]

Should we have nomination rounds and vote on which categories we want in this year?

I like so many of the suggestions...

 

[Telcontar]

Yeah, it is known

[Octo]

^Yeah all that

 

[Ⓐaron]

Well, if no one else has any additions to Carlie's suggestions, that makes my job a lot easier. I'll probably start the nominations round in a few days. I may add a few awards to the ones she suggested so we can have a nice even number. I'd like to have 42 awards again but I think there were too many suggested this time so 50 would probably be nice.

 

[Flintlock]

How about this as a way of gauging which categories are in demand: state that any category which receives less than a certain number of nominations (probably quite a low number) doesn't make it to the final awards. Then people should only nominate in the categories they like.

 

[Airling]

Good man.

 

[Ⓐaron]

So I kind of completely forgot about this again. I'll start a nominations thread in a few minutes.
