Rflong7 - I understand about not wanting to compete and stress out, and fortunately, you don't have to. It's not forced.

This Golden Plumbob thing was only recently brought back, and Boolprop thrived just fine without it, because Boolprop is about sharing, not competing. This is just sort of a "bonus," for those who are into it. If you're not into it, just ignore it. Same with medals. They're nice, but hardly the reason I'm here. I'm here for the camaraderie, Sims-playing tips and tricks, and just being able to chat with people who know what the heck I'm talking about (as I'm the only Sim-player in my family. My sister shops for mods and CC, but never just sits down and PLAYS it, let alone writes). And I love reading other people's stories - all kinds of stories. It depends on my mood. Yeah, I'm mostly a fan of apocalypses, but pretty much any sim story is going to interest me.
Spoiler:
For what it's worth, you're on my list of "fun to read" stuff. I can't read everything, so I have my little list and pretty much stick to that. Please don't let this stop you from posting!
Easy way to not compete - just tell the mods not to use any nominations for anything you wrote, and ask them not to tell you if you were nominated. Then, even if you were nominated, you wouldn't know, and it wouldn't matter, anyway. And then you can just continue sharing, as usual, and not stress about it.

Same here - Boolprop is one of the forums that has always made me feel welcome. We want all of our members to feel that way also. Our competitions - including BNTM and home-grown challenges (OWBC and EPIC) will never be hard-core.

Mine too - and I love the worlds you built for Sims 3 - they were always my first stop when looking for a new one to play.

I suppose if you can figure out how to lay your hands on them. That's the trouble with virtual bling, huh?

Thanks very much for the nominations, I was so surprised about the "funny" one, didn't think my story is funny at all. So thanks again!

Looking forward to checking out all the noms, so many new stories to read :D

I've just noticed that the "Best Plot in a Completed Story" category never got posted, so that'll be up in just a few seconds!

Also, thanks for the nominations! It's very sweet :unicorn:

Thanks so much for the nominations! Wow! Crazy commenter? I think that's my favorite. I'm pleased as punch about the story, too, of course. I had to brag to my family, and they're happy, although not one of them read sims stories, so they don't get it, at all. But, yay!

I have SO MUCH READING to do now. WOW! So, until February? Good, because it will take that long, even with the binge-reading. Besides, I'm inspired, and want to plaaaaay.

Seriously, though, as much as I don't really feel competitive, I'm seriously chuffed at being noticed. I'll probably vote for myself, because I'm selfish, of course. And I want to read all the stories and posts and stuff, to figure out what to vote for. There's too much to do it all, though. I won't be able to even participate in some of the voting categories. I'll probably just go through them one at at time, and hit as many as I can before time runs out.

Whether you're nominated, or not, congratulations to EVERYONE who participates here on this forum. This place is warm and welcoming, fun, and even dramatic, and a great place to sit and read, and I absolutely love it. Whether you participate in an event, or just get chatty in various threads, I love it! My favorite thing about the Golden Plumbobs isn't the awards, but the fact that people have been reading and commenting and discovering new stories they hadn't noticed before, and chatting more than usual because of it. Life is like that, sometimes. Stick a deadline on something, and all of a sudden the things we were going to get around to are gotten around to! And the place is just hopping now.

I wonder how long this hotbed of activity will last?
