The Tabloid Muse Rag

Awwwww! You missed us! We've gotten cards, letters and smutty email in our bulk folders begging us to come back and buy Canadian pharmacudicals! So here we are!

Okay! We did it, it's finished. The TM Rag is no more. Now there is a new tabloid in town, fresh and shiny. It's editor and writers are superior beings of great intellect and spectacular looks.

okay...yeah...it's us

The confusion over affiliations and names made the continuation of the Rag impossible.

So, join us over at our new digs tabloid_news!

We are also officially affiliating with several communities, including everyone_snaps, a community where anyone from any fandom or community can fangirl/fanboy, greet, praise and shine a spotlight on any muse. writer or artist that does fic, roleplay, graphics...anything!

For the next month, everyone who snaps is in a drawing for a free year at LJ or Photobucket!

Come on, now, babies...join us as we get back on the rag, in a new place!

Now that the threads are winding down, and the last drinks spilled and the Monday Morning Quarterbacks are rambling ad nauseum...

The Preshow Post is off and has been running for a few hours. Everyone seems to be having a great time, and we urge everyone to keep going there.

Around three o'clock, US Pacific time, we're going to start posting Section One of the awards. This will go on for the evening, and then in the early morning, we will post Section Two, and then space the other sections apart during the day tomorrow.

Please remember that there are muns and muses all over the world, and the time zones and real life may mean that people have to accept their awards later, or rep slowly.

Like many event threads, this will likely go on for days, if not weeks.

You guys are all so great to show up for this, and we apologize for this being later than we originally thought. Hurricanes on both US coasts have conspired against us.

Please feel free to ping us here if you have any concerns or questions. Again, have lots of fun and just get silly!

Voting for the Tammys is closed...

Thanks to everyone who voted.

An excellent suggestion was made to us, and we've decided to follow through with it.

We have now set up a community just for The Tammys. Everyone can join, it's not restricted, and you can do all of your squees, thanks, shameless promotion, bribery, fangirling and deep thoughts in one special place. This frees up the fen and OOC comms, and we will also have the awards ceremonies there.

So go on over and enjoy.

Hope this meets with modly approval at the comms.

Tammy Editors speak out, answer some questions and give deep philosophical meaning to meaningless fun.

First of all, we’d like to address some of the numerous questions that have been addressed to us in screened posts:

We are starting the posting of the nominations for the Tammy Awards. This will take a couple of days, so please be patient with us.

A few things...

1. Voting will commence as soon as the nominations are posted, and will continue until midnight, PST, USA, on Friday, September 1st. Please only put the votes for the sections you are in, so we can keep track of the sections.

2. We post all of the nominees, along with the top five that you can choose from. Please do not write in votes. It won't count. If we have misspelled or left anyone off that you know you nominated, let us know. We counted over 4250 individual nominations, so it's possible.

3. There are no prizes. It's all in fun. No one needs to get bent if you were or were not nominated. Since we did not just limit to one community this year, we had a huge variety of muses nominated.

4. All voting is confidential, and you may change or correct anything up to the deadline. Winners will be announced Saturday, September 2.

5. Thank you to everyone nominating and voting. You made this event rock last year, and we know it will be just as great this year. Feel free to ping us if you have any questions.

Five hours remain to get in your Tammy Nominations!

Noon...Pacific US time.

Also, please go to the nominations and look at your post. If we can't read an entry because of a bad user name or because you put in just a first name and it's not obvious who it is, it will not be counted. Please check your entries and make sure the names are visible. We have many who are not.

Lots of nominations coming in, from all kinds of muses! This is great, guys, keep it up!

The nominations for this year's Tammy Awards have begun to roll in, and there has been some confusion and questions. Additionally, the editors and staff would like to make a request of those nominating.

1. The nominations are for muses. Not for muns. This seems to be a point of confusion in the writing and roleplaying catagories. You are nominating muses.

2. By leaving a nomination category blank, you are losing your chance to have a voice in the outcome. Please take the time and really explore, and give thought to others beyond your immediate circle. Any muse from any community can be nominated. Last year, we had a nice variety of muses nominated.

3. Finally...let us keep in mind one of the most important hallmarks of RP and writing...IC=/=OOC. These awards are all in a spirit of fun and are intended to honor and sometimes poke a little fun at MUSES. This is not the place for grudge matches or a chance to "get back" at muns. Keep it positive, keep it fun and keep it IC, please and thank you. Muses nominate, muses vote and muses win.

Okay...so let's get back to the nominations! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

First, the rules...

1. Each MUSE gets to nominate once in each category. You may do nomination posts in sections or all in one (sections might be easier). All nominations must be to this post (and are all screened and confidential). No email nominations will be accepted.

2. Any muse from any community may be nominated.

3. All nominees will be noted when the top five are announced.

4. Only the editors of The TM Rag will know who nominated who, and voting is completely private.

5. This is all in fun, not officially affiliated with any community, and is intended for entertainment purposes only. Campaigning, commercials, bribery and catfighting are endorsed frowned upon.

6. Nominations close at 12:00 noon on Friday, August 11th, Pacific Time (US).

AND AWAAAAAY WE GO!
