All prizes - both signos and EXP - have been distributed!
From Scapeh: Dyzzie is just such a light in the chat, always joking, and plotting and encouraging people to get involved. To buy that art, to follow that idea, and she is utterly supportive. For me, personally, I was having a very hard time writing regularly, but she's always down to plot whatever you are, bounce ideas, and be patient while you figure things out. She's so helpful when it comes to offering advice or opinions when you need them, and I am 100% certain that some of the character developments I have going wouldn't be possible without her. She's such a staple of the Novus community, always active with several characters in several threads at any given time, and always looking for more.
From Scapeh: I'm so excited to see how Jane handles her current situation, how having the relationship with Veil will help her blossom, and maybe heal herself, and forgive herself. Jane is feeling a lot of turmoil over family, but this season looks like it might be the sign of her finally shifting into something greater and better for herself, and I cannot wait to see where that leads her.
From Nastyalicorn: I love reading and watching this relationship evolve - there is a magical and wholesome bond between these two lovely ladies; i look forward to continuing to read their journey as they navigate all that is to come their way. No matter what is thrown at them, I know their friendship will thrive and grow.
From Morphi: The emotions and fun in this just run so deeply.
From Winds of Change — "Because you were my star when my loneliness was closing in like a black hole. You may have left, but I have to also acknowledge you were going home. We both know, I would have done the same to you, if the stars had told me how."
From Scapeh: Honestly, I'm trying not to cry again, haha. This is just such a pure response from Veil to her beloved sister. The understanding, the compassion, the empathy is so raw and beautiful. The unspoken forgiveness that Jane needed to hear in this moment, to know that everything was going to be okay, was still right between these two women, thick as thieves. It really gets me. If you haven't read the whole thing by now after I've made three nominations from it, you really should.

QUOTE of the Season
Current nominations:
@Jane in Winds of Change — (Nominated by @Dyzzie)
"This is what I deserve. I chose this fate, loneliness must be its cost."
@Jane in Winds of Change — (Nominated by @Scapeh)
"She was followed, always, by the dog whose name was Failure, and her blood lay thick along its jaw."
@Veil Nebula in Winds of Change — (Nominated by @Scapeh)
"Because you were my star when my loneliness was closing in like a black hole. You may have left, but I have to also acknowledge you were going home. We both know, I would have done the same to you, if the stars had told me how."
@Veil Nebula in Shooting Stars — (Nominated by @Morphi)
"Talk it out with me then, Jarek. Tell me; what it is about Torielle that made you so certain she was a prize presented to you. Perhaps, if we can figure out where this all started, we can see things have led you astray, and we can return you to the proper path of growth and moving forward."
And ideally, help him realize Torielle was not a gift he could unwrap and control.
Unwrapping Torielle was to be her job.
