neilhoskins77 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Other Awards: The Terk/Raptor/Wilson Builder's Award: This is awarded to the FMS forum member who does the most for the forum on an ongoing basis. Anyone can be awarded this so get your thinking caps on and make your choice Writer of the Year: Some of the best members of the boards have been bestowed this honour, with some winning it on multiple occasions. This is the highest honour on the board apart from being inducted into the FMS Hall of Fame. So again who is the writer that has got you glued to the forum, now its your time to see if your vote can give them this high honour Best Story Character Whilst some stories are just match report based, others have characters that bring the story to life. You have your characters from Rob Ridgway to Tina Powell that bring the story alive for your entertainment. The only rule with this category is that no character can win this award twice. If your unsure PM me and I will let you know if the character is eligible (I would say look at the FMS Awards Archive but the forum migration has wiped them out for now) Funniest Writer of the Year: Who has made you laugh so loud you nearly spat your breakfast cereal over your electronic device. Simple as that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
