‘Best’ Character – Trixie. I’m reading through some of Joe’s stuff as this character now (including Panic at the Disco) and I’m honestly floored by her intricacies. Just... yes. And getting to watch the character’s growth just helps deepen her, and she places a sympathetic spin on Coruscant that makes her incredibly intriguing, fun to read, and just cool as fuck.
‘Best’ Writer – When you say “wow”-ed, I have to think of young Wyatt (Gilgamesh/Atelos). I would argue that nobody has created a player faction quite to the scale of New Babylon, and the fact that it survived (flourished, even) during his extended absence, and is thriving now with literally so many PC members or peripheral associates it’s impossible to count, and has left an indelible impression on many characters who aren’t members of it (mine included) is a testament to this boy’s world building abilities, ambition, and general drive. I also have to note that Wyatt has crafted two of the most specific characters in the Omniverse in Gilgamesh and Atelos; I would hazard to say any one of us could write Gil or Atelos with complete confidence because of how clear Wyatt has made their personalities and objectives. Proud to be a regular reader and say he’s my fave writer of the moment.
Most Helpful – Alex and Trixie pretty much deserve this at all times, and naturally they can’t win every month because of the hard work the other staffers do and the deserved recognition they get. But this month, there’s no choice besides Alex. Saved the damn site.
Rising Star – the Eternity Larva is so incredibly fun and the person who writes it makes me so interested in their stuff. Can’t wait to read more.
'Best' Story – It’s been culminating for years and honestly, “The Darkness Down Below” just fucking gets the potential of Omniverse stories. I wish I could craft a tale like that. Dammit. One day!!
'Best' NPC – In this moment, and I’m not sure if this counts, but I’m gonna have to go with Karl Jak. He’s been a presence on the Omniverse for years and is so mysterious while being so endlessly specific.
Purple Ribbon - Solidly determined to vote for Jak Mar for this one this month. I’ve always known Laura to be so friendly and always down to chat, and coming back after a long hiatus I was so incredibly floored by not only how she resumes conversing with me as if I’d never left but also how crazily improved her writing is. I admire the steps she’s taken with Jak and honestly she’s an incredible person and deserves some recognition.
