I too have been less active compared to previous years, but I will do my best to weigh in with what I have observed in the community this year.
Fanart Award: Since joining the forum, I've seen occasional moments of drought in the fanart section. Which makes the new artists who do happen to come by all the more appreciated. Casting my vote to
somerandomfangirl. Your work is great!
Honourable mention to
Flathead770 for being my unofficial LBT art tutor and giving me plenty of motivation and encouragement to keep going. Even if I eventually did fizzle out with my drawings, all the same I do appreciate his kind words and the moments when he was there for me. Another honourable mention to
jassy; I've always been a fan of her character designs as it is, and I won't soon forget the Mud Bro commission she did of me and OwlsCantRead and ImpracticalDino.
Feedback: I would like to thank
RainbowFaceProtege for all her kind and supportive comments, both on my own work, and on others' too. I haven't interacted with you as much as some of the other people I've socialized with, but you were always one person I would've enjoyed having more time with.
Friendly: There's been so many deserving names in previous years, and I see it again this year too. So just know that
many of you who might be reading this could easily qualify. That said, I think I will have to narrow down this year's pick to
chomper94. I've never seen you as anything other than pleasant and easygoing.
LBT Discussion: chomper94, again. As Owls mentioned above, his contributions to various LBT threads have been appreciated. I have written plenty of my own long discussion posts in the past, and I am pleased to have someone else take up the mantle.
Helpful: While I hope this isn't stretching the definition of the category too much,
Mumbling has given me a lot of personal help. I always felt like you were one of the people here who understood me the best and you were always there for me on many of my down days, and you have a special place in my heart for that reason.
Proactive: rhombus, who even despite his often hectic schedule, still finds the time to keep this place well-maintained and running, and who is always there with a pleasant demeanour to answer questions. Always a pleasure having you around.
