We are gonna be having Hearties again this year and I propose we do it in the same time frame as last year: voting begins: 7th November voting ends: 9th December 2nd Annual Heartie Awards: 16th December Last year categories:Best Poster Best Thread Best Post Best Sense of Humour Best Newscaster Best Username Best Poster of gifs/memes Best Duo Best Drunk Best Reactor Best Running Joke Biggest Thread Derailer Biggest Show-Apologist Biggest Show-Basher Biggest LSH-Hopeful Biggest Cleganebowl-hopeful Biggest House Stark Fan Biggest House Targaryen Fan Biggest House Lannister Fan Biggest House Baratheon Fan Biggest House Greyjoy Fan Biggest House Martell Fan Biggest House Tully Fan Biggest House Bolton Fan Biggest House Tyrell Fan Biggest Sophie Turner Fan Biggest Stephen Dillane Fan Biggest Richard Madden Fan Biggest GRRM Fan Biggest Linda/Elio Hater Now, this thread here is for FYC. I know I had difficulty remembering specific posts or who the biggest fan of which house is when the nomination voting began so we can use this thread to post FYC stuff, link to specific posts or just make notes who is a fan of what Another thing is brainstorming. Are we keeping the same categories? Are we changing them? Are we adding something? I think we should remove the last category. It's mean spirited imho and we have our own place here, what is happening outside it in terms of fanbase shouldn't be reflected in our awards. Also do we want/need actor categories? Tell me what you guys think. 24/07 after the voting, these are the categories that are staying:Best Poster Best Thread Best Post Best Sense of Humour Best Newscaster Best Username Best Poster of gifs/memes Best Duo Best Drunk Best Reactor Best Running Joke Biggest Thread Derailer Biggest LSH-Hopeful Biggest Cleganebowl-hopeful Biggest House Stark Fan Biggest House Targaryen Fan Biggest House Lannister Fan Biggest House Baratheon Fan Biggest House Greyjoy Fan Biggest House Tully Fan Biggest House Bolton Fan Biggest House Tyrell Fan Biggest Lena Headey fan Biggest Kit Harington fan Biggest Liam Cunningham fan Biggest Michelle Fairley fan

I think we could lose a few of those, or swap them out. Lose: Sophie Fan, Stephen Dillane Fan, LSH Hopeful ( ) Biggest Linda/Elio hater (since we don't do much of that anymore) Maybe lose the dead houses? Martell, Bolton, Baratheon and Tyrell? (at least Martell and Baratheon for sure) I'd add best Davos fan since he doesn't belong to any house. ETA: Unless we're keeping houses for book purposes.

I hope we keep best username as a permanent category so I can be the Meryl Streep of this forum.

I agree with Queen carol about trimming some of the fat. They went on for ages last time.

I am thinking maybe, since we have gotten some new posters, keeping around the house threads (next years Hearties can drop biggest Bolton, Martell, Tyrell fans since they won't be around for season 7). As for biggest actor fan threads, I would suggest maybe swapping out the ones we used last year and select three new actors to spotlight. Even if they don't have their own threads...people can do what we did last year and write some reasons why they should be considered for that particular actor. Probably drop LSH hopeful, show basher, show apologist, linda/elio hater.
Perhaps do favorite location on the show? Favorite theory/prediction?

Hearties are for posters on the board I'll add a poll Maybe we can have Best newcomer category?

Best avatar? Biggest Westeros.org hater lol The second one is kinda the opposite of the point I made with why we shouldn't have linda/elio one Avatar is a good one! People change it often here but we can always vote for the avatars the members used since the last Hearties

I agree about the actor/actress suggestion, it would be nice to put some fresh faces in, preferably those still on the show. Could sati maybe add a poll for that too?

How about we let this one run for like 2 weeks and then I add a new poll about the actors? There is still time till nominations and I have no idea how to add 2 polls

Poor you could do a separate "Heartie Awards: Favourite actor poll/FYC" where people vote for the categories and submit their "why I should have this award" speeches. or just change out this poll, whichever works best for you

Wow that's a lot of categories and temptation for add few more actual is too strong. There is a pool, but I can't decide, so I write my suggestions here: Remove: *House X fan: if we want to stay with all universum, we could have all categories without changes, but if we want to focus on show Baratheon should be remove for sure, maybe also Martell (is there even one true fan of this house here?); Tyrell&Bolton should stay, because that's the last chance to reward their fans *Linda/Elio hater & GRRM fan- almost no one talking about this anymore *actor's fan: instead of saving old ones or creating new, we could make collective category The Biggest Actor/Actress fan and nominee people with pattern: user X for being fan of actor/actress YShow Apologist/Basher: not a clue, there is no two separate groups now, people appreciate and criticize show all the time. Add: *Best Newcomer is a good idea *Best Avatar also good idea *Biggest Hyper (is it a correct noun? I mean a person who creates the greatest hype): that's one would match to (or could replace) LSH/Cleganebowl Hopeful. We've got so many amazing hype threads this year: Snowbowl, Cleganebowl, Stoneheart in da show, Cersei's trial and people still creating promising new ones (Stormbowl, Queenbowl). Imagine campaign for the Biggest Hyper

If we keep actors, I agree with an earlier post that said we should chose different ones.

As I said before, UTHT knows no bowl but the bowl of the North, whose name is SNOWBOWL. It's the only one that has actually happened so far. These salty haters (like whatshisface, David Jones or something) only give me more satisfaction
