| User | Learah | | Topic | Feathers Nominations | | Message | You will have all (hopefully) have noticed that there is now an awards system in place to acknowledge good writing here on ES... A panel of well-established users collaborate and share opinions on outstanding work, coming to a conclusion every friday. However, we can’t be everywhere at once and may not always see poems that deserve to b e nominated for the feather or its runner-up, the gold ribbon, so this is for anyone who thinks they know of a poem that deserves to be nominated! Just leave the link below and it’ll get checked out... also, suggestions and comments on the awards would be highly appreciated! |

| User | besodemuerte | 2005-05-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | i didnt realize the pickers were still around.... havent heard anything of ribbons or feathers in a while now... |
| User | Vancrown | 2005-05-29 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | That’s great for Dnd, but he’s won a ribbon so I think that excludes him from future consideration. As I understand it, anyone on the Feather Pickers Committee or those who’ve previously won an award, cannot be chosen again. Is this not so? |
| User | WolfStar | 2005-05-25 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I would like to nominate "Dear Jane/Dear Diary" by deadndreaming. It’s seriously unique and honest and real piece.... One of the best I’ve ever seen.

peace,

| User | Learah | 2005-03-22 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Thanks Fiz. We’re trying to come to a conclusion on this week’s feather, it should have been awarded last friday but it’s a difficult one.
So I’ll add your nomination to the selection after we’ve decided on this week’s, is that okay? |
