This isn't an official part of the awards. This is just me posting a topic for discussing ideas for future categories and such.
The biggest shift I'm hoping for here is to see possibly an appointed panel of judges for the nominations to bat down "Incorrect" noms. I don't want to be too limitng, but a lot of the Nominations this year were just... Well, from left field. So, here's to bringing in a Filter team next year.
Personally, I'd like to see a distinction between "Best RP", and "Best RP Event", seeing as how 2010 is looking to be the year of the multitopic RP monstrousities. There's Ishkabibble that has already shown itself, the sequel to Shattered/Triannual that has two converging plots, and Nat's featured RP, which features four strands converging into a single topic, and leading to four seperate climactic events, one for each group. So, it might not be fair to force single topics to stand against these Lernaean beasts.
Happiest member might possibly go, since it seems to be a placeholder just to match up with Most Depressing. I dunno, maybe both can go. It seems neither really DID much for the awards this year.
Best Skin MIGHT be able to go. I'm not really sure. Depends on if we get many new skins, or if we, as predicted, start to settle down again on creating those.
Best Posting Game is another "If we don't see an innovation here, it can go." category. As was, this year, it kinda went... wrong.
Finally, I'm hoping Worst Contest can go. This year, we're going full steam ahead, no looking back. I'm hoping we won't have any contest that could even be considered to be bad.
