The list is based on all the works of Misty (duh!). Most of us have different names on board. Me? I’m just plain "Angie". "Angie" was too established for me to move "Shadowblade" in, so…

So—all of us spend our time on the list discussing Misty’s books. You know, like how to pronounce Vanyel’s name for one, and if Tylendel really deserved to be repudiated. There are tons of topics, and we don’t bite. Not much really.

There are various kinds of people on the list. There’s the listmistress, Mel. She’s real nice until you get her goat. Then, watch out! There are the Councilors of the Mist. They are the people you would look to for help, or aid in any subject. Then there are the Gods and Goddesses, the Elves, the Mages, the Lords and Ladies, the Priests, and so on… Of course, it’s all fake, and in the name of good, clean fun.

The one valuable thing (at least in my eyes) that I contributed to the list was the Misty Awards. There was a topic on the list: that of which character was the favorite of each listsib. I suggested that we hold a Misty Award, a poll on which character is the best of what. Kinda like the Emmy Awards, or the Oscars. If you wanna know, the finals were held on the 16^th of September 1997 (this year!). Below are the results of which yours truly had painfully compiled. Thank you for your Participation List-sibs!!!

Welcome one and all to the Misty Awards! Held yearly (I hope), it is a summary of who and what you think is the greatest thing that ever happened to this world. Hehe… There’s lots more stuff I wrote, but I won’t even think about boring you to tears. So here are the results!

Heyla folks!
Over the past month of July, you guys have been mailing me your votes on categories like favourite characters, scenes, filk, series, etc. Well, today's the day I get to announce the results! *clap clap* yay! ;)

So without any further ado, here're the winners!

*The lights dim. Even the mages among the audience sense the sudden gravity and they summon away their mage-lights*

For the category of "Favourite Human Male", it really is no surprise... Once again, Vanyel Ashkevron has snagged the title by a huuuge margin! Unfortunately, he is unable to be with us today. Rumour is that he is enjoying a long vacation in the Bermudas. *grin*
(are those groans of "boy, is she corny" or of disappointment i hear?)

For the category of "Favourite Human Female", phew, was this a close fight. But, we don't have a tie! Welcome Kerowyn, Herald-Captain of the Sunbolts as the newest holder of this post!
(hmm... there's some murmuring in the "Heralds" section of the audience... I wonder why... *weg*)

For the category of "Favourite Non-Human Male", again, a Very Close fight. Even closer than that of "Human Female"! But you guys _have_ chosen. Skandranon Rashkae successfully stolen his title from Altra as "Favourite Non-Human Male", and can, once again, gloat! Hehehe...
(cat-calls!)

For the category of "Favourite Non-Human Female", we see a pattern. You people seem to enjoy female warriors (hmm Xena Strikes Back? *g*). Need- sword, healer and fighter- has once again taken the Award! Unfortunately, Need has disappeared with Vanyel Ashkevron. No, I don't think there's anything between them. *weg*
(more groans of pain. "Stop with the corniness already!"-- shout from audience.)

For the category of "Favourite Supporting Male", boy, I don't think Alberich will be pleased, but this year's winner is out of the fearsome Arms-master's reach! Stefen, known as The Bard and Tylendel's reincarnation (though we all love him as he is), has stolen the title from Alberich!
(screams of "Ste-fen Ste-fen Ste-fen" roars though the Halls)

For the category of "Favourite Supporting Female", a very close fight again. I feared for a tie, but recent votes have decided! Savil Ashkevron, the old "bat", has once again clinched the title!!! Boy, do we see a pattern here...
(the Halls start roaring with sound.)

*Shadowblade shhh-ed the Hall. Quiet falls on them like a cloak.*

Ladies, Gentlemen, and various other life-forms, we have, your favourite villain. This really is cheating, for he is no villain at all, really. The villain with the heart, the one who can never tell a lie, earthbound to Hardorn, your favourite villain is (ex)Duke Tremane, King of Hardorn!!!
(stamping and roaring resumes)

Oh, now this is a close one. With the "new" thread of heartbreaking scenes, many votes have been decided. But although there was a close fight, you have once again proved the magic of The Last Herald Mage. Your favourite scene is "I'm shaych and what are you gonna do about it." starring Vanyel Ashkevron and good old Stefen!!! Woo-hoo!
(screams in the audience from the female section)

As for your favourite series, was there any doubt? "The Last Herald Mage trilogy" is once again the undisputed winner! It had blazed ahead of the other finalists, with a grand total of votes, three times that of the second-place!!! This is unheard of, people!
(the "Heralds" section jump up and down waving banners of "Vanyel" all over the place)

For the new category of "Best suited to be converted into a tv series/movie", *sigh* this is getting to be a habit! "The Last Herald Mage" again takes the title!!! This year definitely _is_ the year of "Last Herald-Mage" Now comes the tricky part...who plays your favourite characters???
(The "Heralds" section goes wild! "O-le...ole ole ole... o-le o-le"!)

For the new category of "Favourite Filk", I'm sure you guys already know the winner! "Magic's Price" (composed and sung by the famous bard, Stefen) takes the Award!
(strains start playing from various corners of the Halls, and the minstrels start humming its tunes)

For the final category of "all time Favourite Character", well *wipes brow*, Tannim had put up a good fight, but... no one is your favourite if not Vanyel Ashkevron!!!
(screams, wolf-whistles, stomping, and other forms of adoration. Some just stand there and smile, nodding slightly to themselves, though)

Thanks for voting folks, and for putting up with me! See you once again next year! Till then, have some giggle bubbles!

*She blows on her palm and huge coruscating bubbles float around the Hall. She bows deeply. The people in the Hall see a sudden movement, then "poof!" a column of smoke rises where Shadowblade once stood. The lights return to the Hall.*

Well, that being that…
