Last week, your enthusiastic nominations came pouring in. I so enjoyed seeing old friends and new faces show up to participate. This week, we’ve come to the voting period! The top five nominees in each category have risen, and now it’s up to you to choose the most worthy!
Before we get to our top five strangest characters, let me just say—hosting forty-two oddballs at my place for a week has been… interesting, to say the least.
The time has come, my friends. The hour has arrived.
I have the honor of hosting the Strangest Character Award! This particular Silmaril should be given to a character who is truly strange, bizarre, unlikely, outlandish, quirky, extraordinary, offbeat, eccentric, or peculiar. Someone not unlike this award’s host…
And just like that, August closes.
I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but it’s been cooling off early here. Everything is beginning to take on that bronze glow of autumn… I’m not sure I’m ready for it yet, but it is pretty!
Hauling old papers out of my room, drinking lots of coffee, seeing friends, eating corn on the cob from the garden, and a four-person bicycle adventure in the rain are some of the highlights of my month! And lots of editing, but we’ll get to that later.
Hello, quester!
No real post today, as I’ve been busy wrapping up the fifth draft of my novel The Brightest Thread, beta reading for a friend, and preparing for…
Yep, they’re coming back, so prepare to nominate your beloved fantasy characters SOON. Nominations open on September 2nd, and I’ll be posting more details then!
So. No post today. You’ll get an August update in Subplots & Storylines next week (August 31st). And then on the long weekend, the Silmaril Awards will kick off! Woo!
I’ll see you then. In the meantime, have an awesome week!
