September: Of The Month Nominations

Time for our first OTMs! I decided to start these early this month so that we could kind of get the hang of how things are working and how the of the months will actually work and so people will have time to nominate and all and such. We do have a few rules, which of course, do need to be followed.

• All OTM nominations must be posted on or before September 25! Normally, the nominations would start on the 20th of a month and end later in the evening the 25th, but due to the fact that these are the first of the months of the site, then it would be easier to get the hang of things first.
  
• You cannot nominate yourself or your characters with the exception of the Ship of the Month.
  
• You cannot nominate someone or some character who has already been nominated by someone else.
  

To have a little explanation as to what the nominations may be about, here are a little description of each to explain the categories:

• Member of the Month: Which member of this site do you believe really stood out this month. Whether they helped other members, are happy and active, a good roleplayer, or whatever you think makes them deserve member of the month. Remember: you are voting for the person, not the character. So, if I were to nominate Akari, for example, I would not nominate Kuro Tanaka, I would nominate Akari herself.
  
• Female of the Month: Whatever you think would make a character become character of the month, whether it be their personality, creativity, or if they may even make you laugh. So for this, you would vote for characters, not the member, such as me voting for Kuro Tanaka, not Akari.
  
• Male of the Month: This is the same as female of the month, only of course, the character has to be male (or portrayed as a male in some cases). Also, another vote for the characters, not the member.
  
• Ship of the Month: While it was originally called "Couple of the Month" we don't want to limit your voting to just couples. Whether it be a pair that makes you laugh or even some people that you think would be cute or funny that maybe haven't even met - it's up to your mind. Just remember, we are shipping characters, not members.
  

  ship (v.) to support or endorse a romantic paring that is not canon in the work(s) in which they appear. The shipping of couples is often the purpose of many fanfiction stories. Used for characters in anime, manga, video games, tv shows, etc.
