Just out of curiosity, does the fanart award include fanfictions as well?

Thanks a lot raga. There are some which I think can really work out for an award :yes
Due to family business (a 50th birthday celebration) I won't be able to do anything today, but in general the more screenshots for awards we get the sooner Tim and I will probably have the selection for this year finished.

PS: uhm... I just noticed it is impossible for the pictures to be downloaded unless one has a registered account on that page (something I usually avoid because all too often I made the experience of free registered accounts on various online resources being a trigger for unwanted mail :unsure:). Do you happen to have a photobucket account too raga?
You could make a PrintScreen shot of it. The quality is the same, so you'd just have to crop the images on Paint or so.

Uh-oh. I realized you need to have joined at least a month before and have at least 100 posts. I have nearly 400 posts, but I joined April 8th, 2009. :slap

We're not voting just yet. I'm not sure when exactly we will be voting, but who knows, you might end up just barely becoming eligible to vote. (you only need to wait until May 8th)

Nope, it does not cover fanfiction. Also we are not going to create a fanfiction award. Most people won't read every fanfiction out there and everyone would have to do just that in order to give a good judgement on all the fanfictions.
There will be a thorough explanation on what all the awards are about though :)

well I do now  :p  http://s733.photobucket.com/albums/ww338/raga91/

Sorry it took so long to respond though, my cousin was having her first communion today so I was in Jersey.  I'm a bit beat but I'll go through another episode now, I've got it in me.

Hey Malte-
I would be willing to go through movie 10 for screenshots tomorrow if you'd like. Should I just look for screen grabs that seem to illustrate the award categories?

I put my photobucket lbt pictures into better order.  Not organized very well, nor by what movie or episode they are from, but in other categories.

I have some shots of from the 10th movie.  Nothing special, some of Bron, Shorty, Sue, various shots of un named long necks, 1-2 of the belly dragger.

Don't worry, I have not been online myself much this weekend as there was a 50th birthday to celebrate in the family. Thank you very much for the images you took and for creating that photobucket account :yes

Awesome that would be cool. All pictures of of general interest (if uploaded to a photobucket account that is made public, images may be helpful for LBT projects other than the award making as well). As for award images, one    criterion for exclusion would be if characters are "cut off" on both edges of the image as one edge of the image is usually copy pasted and blurred over the part of the award that bears the inscription. We try to use images which in some way refer to what the award is about. We are trying to make enough drafts so every winner of an award will have a choice between at least two different drafts to pick from. While we don't have an "upper limit" to the number of awards, the awards for which we haven't reached the bottom limit of drafts yet are the following awards:
-friendly member
-fanart
-project
-helpful
-roleplaygamer
-appreciated member
Images that could be interpreted to match these categories would therefore be particularly welcome, but all images we get can be helpful :yes

We're still not ready.  We give about two weeks for voting, so you'd be eligible to vote anyway in some piece of that timeframe.

I just added a new screen shot that I think might work for roleplayer, who knows.

Thank you very much DarkWolf91! This is really appreciated a lot :yes
Thanks also to Kor and raga. Several of your images have been put to good purpose by now and they have been really helpful with the shortage of images for the fanart and projects award in particular :yes

Phew!
Went through half of the movie, and that's about all I can do for now. I'm beat! :lol
Might have gone a little overboard... But I really can't help being thorough :slap
Anyways, part two should be up by tonight or tomorrow! For now, enjoy the first half!

wow darkwolf, you really went crazy there!  I think I will go through the 11th movie, or least some of it.  That will have to wait till I get home though, i don't have any of the movies on my laptop.

Edit:  well i just so happen to be leaving right now, so I'll get started in like 10 min.

Thank you very much darkwolf :)
I like your new Shorty signature by the way, great job.
By now more award drafts have been created and unless I miscounted anything the only award for which we still absolutely must have further drafts is the friendly member award (though in case of every other award it is still the more the better as this allows for the winner to pick from a larger selection of awards).

Haha, yeah... I think I took around three screenshots a minute. I couldn't help it! All of the scenes looked so cool! :lol

Oh, thanks! It was a lot of fun to draw. And it's good to switch things up every now and then, I suppose :)

What are you looking for in the friendly member award?

The friendly member award in your signature is a good inspiration Kor ;)
But of course we are not using scenes twice. Anything where characters hug in any way appear on very friendly terms or where a character is doing something friendly or looking extremely friendly will work.
