OK, time for my nominations (are multi-nominations allowed?):
Forum users
Most Modest User- I'd say probably AA. I mean, she hates her art sometimes, which, as most might say, is some of the best of the forum.
Most Thoughtful Poster- Oh boy, what a toughie. I got to go in the end with elite4james. He sure does bring his stuff.
Greatest Topic Starter- Wolf, definitely. How manny topics has he posted and continued? Exactly.
Greatest Crackpot- No clue what that means, so I'm out of this one for now.
Most random- I'm undecided at the moment.
AdvanceShipper of the Year- It's too obvious. It's definitely Xaotl all the way.
MultiShipper of the Year- If you know me, then you definitely know that I'll always go for AA here.
The rest are all undecided for now, but I'm wondering if PikamasterADV is banned from the fanfic catergory....

Well, seeing how I'm still new to this forum, I'm just gonna nominate in the fanfic section:
Best Reviewer:- LuciferIX, definately. Everytime I see a new chapter for a story, he's already got a positive, fair-sized review up for it.
Best AdvanceShipping Writer:- Ouch, there's a good 4-5 people I want to say! This isn't fair! But I'm going to say... Dryuu. Just for the absolutely EPIC scale of the Trials series, plus the AU stories, that i desperately want to see continued!
Other ones that rank highly on my list are: XAOTL, Elite4James, LuciferIX and cascade88. Sorry guys!
Best AdvanceShipping Story:- Same dillemma applies here. But I'm going to say Is He Really That Dense, by LuciferIX. Why? It's a really well written story, it includes AdvanceShipping, yet Ash is kept in character, as dense as always. This conveyed a sense of 'believability' to me, which is important.
Best Non-AdvanceShipping Writer:- This confuses me a bit. Is it someone who doesn't write AS at all? Or someone who writes other ships beside AS? If it's the latter, then cascade88 gets my vote. Why? Kissing Families is the main reason, but her PearlShipping fics are also great.
Best Non-AdvanceShipping Story:- You Are the One, by cascade88. A really nice story, as well as the three one-shots that came before it.
Most Original Author:- elite4james. Not, as most of you are probably thinking, for Project Arceus. Even though that story is awesome, this nomination is for A New Generation, A New Beginning. This was a completely original idea, I had not read any fics set that far in the future. Plus, it set off a format that a lot of authors are now following, mainly due to it being part of a challenge. But this was the first, so it gets my vote.
I think there should be MultiShipping awards personally, but no biggie. I don't think I could vote on the other categories, due to my inexperience on here.
Good Luck everyone!

Multishipping authour is one who has writtenabout Advanceshipping and another (preferably 2 more) ship(s)
The greatest Crackpot is the guy who gets you lOling. Has fun, and occasionally Crazy opinions.
& it's one person per catogory. Your votes and a_a's votes have been counted up. K.

Don't put yourself too low Dave, you are officially a "Full Member." Thats still long enough to be one of the more knowledgeable posters here.
I'm still deciding on most of them so I'll put the ones that I know for sure.
Best Reviewer - Before I even made a profile at ff.net Zea dominated the reviewing, and she's still able to review virtually every one that comes out and give it her own nearly eternally peppy review
Best Advanceshipping Author - PikamasterADV, If he's not off limits then I'm voting for him. No need for reasoning.
Best Advanceshipping Story - "May's Crush," this would be the fic that introduced me to Advanceshipping fanfiction and is arguably one of the best out there.
Best Non- Advanceshipping writer - Cascade88, She was the one who got me used to reading Appeal and Pearlshipping so I have to give her some credit.
Best Non- Advanceshipping story - You Are the One, by cascade88, Keeping it in the Pokemon genre this would be number one. Mostly because it was the first Pearlshipping chapter fic that I read and enjoyed.

Seeing as how I really only just started posting here, and also because I'm more familiar with the fanfiction section of the catergories, its the only category that I'm going to cast any votes in.
Best Reviewer:- Without a doubt, hands down--LuciferIX. I say this because if he likes a story, he never fails to review every chapter, and each review is detailed, in both aspects of what he thought worked best, and what he thinks could use more work.
Best AdvanceShipping Writer:- …Easily one of the harder decisions to make, but, I’m gonna go ahead and give my vote to Dryuu, because he is one of the best AdvanceShipping writers out there.
Best AdvanceShipping Story:- Hmm. There are plenty of really great ones, but I’m gonna have to give my vote to Is He Really That Dense? by LuciferIX. The reason being is not only that it is just a great, well-written story overall, but also because he kept Ash very much in character throughout the story, even when it came to the ending, which was unique because it actually had Ash and May not ‘officially’ get together, yet at the same time, he had already eluded within the story that they would get together later on down the road.
Best Non-AdvanceShipping Writer:- If this includes people who do write some AdvanceShipping, but who also cover other ships as well, then my vote goes to Lara, because she’s a good writer who happens to cover more ships than AshxMay.
Best Non-AdvanceShipping Story:- A Confession Gone Awry by Rave the Rich gets my vote here, because it is a very interesting, well-written story that happens to not be AdvanceShipping.
Most Original Author:- I’m gonna have to say that Qtpie456s gets my vote for this, and mainly due to her story A Different Kind of Rivalry, which is an AdvanceShipping story that also includes Brunetteshipping, which, in my opinion, is a very unique element to have in an AshxMay story.

Most Modest is XAOTL Most Thoughtful is luciferix Topic Starter is Wolf Crackpot is me (Can I vote for me?) Most random is me Best AAMayL story is Final Challange by Matkin And if I actually read that many fanfics in pokemon instead of going fo rthe longer ones and going for every show or book I like, I'd have a better vote for non AAMayL story other than my Lost in a forest, but I don't thinkk my vote for that should count.
Anyway,those are the votes I feel I am qualified to make.

Question, can we nominate more than one person per category?
Best Reviewer: LuciferIX - I agree with Cascade; Lucifer's reviews appear on almost all Advanceshipping stories I find.
Best Advanceshipping story: Pokemon Rangers: Rise of the Dark Gems - Very very suspenseful and engaging.
Advanceshipper of the Year: Jbstormburst - for starting this forum. Matkin22 - For starting the Advanceshipping wiki.
I can't think of anyone else for the other categories at the moment.
Can we double post since we aren't allowed to edit them?
Can we edit the post if we are just ADDING things to it?

I knew I'd get a vote for this site. I gotta say, this has even more potential than even the original ASU.

Oh great, you just got promoted, again. And yes, I do seem surprised, but then again, the fanfic area is where everything's being contested in.

I now have the same type of star the Admin has. ;D
I don't remember any of the names of the non- Advanceshipping fics I've read; since I read them on very rare occasions, so I can't say which non-Advanceshipping fic or writer is good.

Time to add some more catergories:
Fanfic writers
Best Reviewer- I'd say Lucifer. When I finally post my new chapter, he'll probably revieiw first.
Best Advanceshipping writer- PMADV, too easy. He's a legend, for God's sake.
Best Advanceshipping Story- I'd say right now, Manhunt seems to be one of the best I've seen yet, and it can only get better. Plus, you can't deny Pichu antics. LOL!!
Best Non- Advanceshipping writer- I got to go with Rave The Rich. If you've not read, "A Confession Gone Awry," there is something wrong with you. It's so good, I'm hooked.
Best non- Advanceshipping story- Easily, "A Confession Gone Awry." Heck, I can even compare it to May's Crush in terms of potential.
Most original authour- Xaotl FTW!! I mean, with all his recent fics, he practically can be considered one of our best because of his range. It's unreal how many styles he can use successfully.
That's all for now.

Thanks for all your votes ^_____^ it's all been added.
Now to answer some questions:
Only one per catagory. and sorry, No TDF, you can't vote 4 yourself
Can we double post since we aren't allowed to edit them?
Yes, but not to the extremes where it is blatant Spammin' K.
Can we edit the post if we are just ADDING things to it?
No, it may get confusing, especially if I'm updating the list whilst you're editing the post.

Couple points XATOL. First I think you missed Lara's nomination by Cascade. And second, Zea's name is actually Zeaeevee. A lot of people seem to get that wrong.
