I thought that it would be really nice to be able to show my appreciation
for all of the other great Sailor Moon pages out there, so I went ahead
and created some awards. If you think, "Hey! What a coincidence! *I* happen
to have a great Sailor Moon page!" and want to give it a try, e-mail me.
Include your name (or whatever handle you wish to use), your site's URL,
the award you wish to apply for, and a little something about why you want
that particular award. You don't have to wax eloquent for 11k, but *please*
give it a bit more thought than, "i saw the pics & thougt they were
spiffy i want to win one any one". ;o) Feel free to try for for as many
as you wish, as long as your page applies to whatever aspect of Sailor
Moon it's commending. Good luck! I had a lot of fun creating these...if
I get a good response, I think I might offer a few more!
General Rules
(1) Have your page at some degree of depth.
(2) Misspellings, broken links, etc, should be kept to a minimum.
(3) No bashing-- opinions are good, but it's all in the phrasing...
(4) No hentai!
The "Recommended
Manga Site Award" is precisely that. It's applicable only to pages
dealing exclusively with any manga (not just SM). Picture galleries, sites
posting translations, synopses of the plots' Why's&Wherefore's, explanations
of the differences between the manga & anime (the only loophole for
anime's presence)... it's all fair game, just as long as there's a lot
of good content!
To win "Castle
Miranda's Site of the Month", you need to have a really good segment
with emphasis on the outer senshi. (Or, if you're brave enough to call
them "Celia, Corrine, and Nerissa", outer scouts.) (<---grudging concession)
;o) Sites with good manga sections take priority with the judges, but anyone
is eligible. The award for each month is given on the first day of the
next month, and applications are only valid for one run-through. So if
you don't win the first time, try again!
To win "Usako's
Seal of Approval", you need to possess a page with emphasis on the
romance between Usagi & Mamoru, in ANY of their incarnations. Which
means Princess Serenity & Prince Endymion; Usagi & Mamoru; Serena
& Darien; Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Kamen/Tuxedo Mask/Moonlight Knight;
Neo-Queen Serenity & King(Neo-King?) Endymion; etc... (Who could've
thought that 2 people could have such a complicated lovelife?) :o)
To win "Neo-Queen
Serenity's Admirable Site Award" you need to have a creative homepage
with special emphasis on SailormoonR and/or Crystal Tokyo. Shrines to Black
Lady, Prince Demaund, WiseMan, Rubeus, etc, are perfectly acceptable.
"Tenoh
Haruka's Site for Sore Eyes" is reserved exclusively for Tenoh Haruka/
Sailor Uranus shrines. It has to be more than just her stats- birthday,
astrological sign, favorite food, etc. There's nothing bad about listing
stats- it certainly helps with researching fanfics! (wouldn't it be awful
if you read somewhere, "Haruka dug with great relish into a heaping bowl
of natto"!)- but there needs to be some indication of creativity, that
you put a lot of your own imagination and effort into your page.
The "Distinguished
Fanfic Author-- Castle Miranda's Archives" is given to authors who
have completed their fanfics and submitted them to my archive.
And it should be something of substance, not a short story. And *please*!
Good grammar and spelling are must's, unless you don't mind me playing
editor, and it should have no more than a PG rating. (I don't mind if you
write lemons or H-fics [some lemons can be pretty funny!] but I just don't
want to post them myself.) It's not that difficult to be accepted for this
award as long as you have a bit of imagination, dedication, and plot.
So please, try for this award! We need more completed fanfics out
there!
The most difficult to earn is "Castle
Miranda's Auctor Pretiosa Facit Award". And everyone who has had the
fortune to *not* be foolish enough to take Latin is asking, "What the heck
does that mean?" It basically means, "The giver makes [the gift] precious",
and this award is reserved for those pages out there who are nice enough
to give other webmasters & webmistresses a boost, whether it's by creating
gifs and backgrounds and banners [gratis], or sharing advice on HTML and
how to increase your hits, or whatever. However, you can't sign yourself
up for this award. If anyone who sees this award is deeply indebted to
a certain page's influence on their creation, they should e-mail me and
say, "So-and-so was a terrific help to me, and they deserve this." Or I
can notice a page which has made a genuine effort to aid others, and decide,
"OK!" For this award, I won't discriminate against hentai, or look for
broken links or typos. Chances are, if you're helping others, you've made
sure that you've done a pretty spectacular job of your own page already!
