Subject: [Vampire WW] Funding Woes
Night 17
Decatur Street, French Quarter
"**** man, you can't close down."
There was a hint of desparation in the voice of the young red-haired
girl as she reached across the cast-iron table of the cafe patio and
grasped the hands of the older woman seated across from her. "Your
work, your facility, it's too valuable." she insisted.
A smile creased the pale, careworn face of the older woman, a thin lock
of grey hair slipping from the usually neat braid that hung down her
back to bisect one still bright blue eye. "Your hands are always cold
Sara, you really should have your circulation checked dear." she
chided the girl gently. "And frankly, we have no choice, our funding
has been cut again, we can barely sup****t those women staying with us
right now, barely afford the cl***** in self-esteem and work skills,
how can we move forward now?"
Red, known as Sara to her Kine associates, squeezed the older woman's
hands lightly before pulling away to wrap the small appendages around
the still steaming cup of caffe latte. Should have feed before meeting
up with her.
"How much money is needed immediately to help those with you right now
Linda?" Her brain was starting to teem with ideas to get immediate
cash to sup****t the woman's shelter, but so far, none of them struck
her as feasible. Plus, there had to be a way to deal with the
shortfall of money for future operations.
"Right now, about $5,000 to get us through the next six months." Linda
answered, sitting back in the cafe chair. Red mimicked her, only she
drew up one cargo pant clad leg, resting a booted foot on her knee.
Raising her hands to rub her face, careful not to smudge the black kohl
rimming her green eyes. The movement caused the image of Che Guevara
on her black tank top to stretch across generous breasts.
"I'll think of something, and maybe we can start a hardcore petition to
renew the funding." she finally said, a hopeful note in her voice as
her hands dropped away from her face.

Weavers 2005 Award Categories
** Special Writing Awards **
*****
** Post Awards **
(These Awards are voted on by ALL players within their unit during
the final voting.)
1) Most Dramatic Moving Post (This award is given to the writer of
the post that evoked the most emotion. A moving post would be one
that touched your heart in some way.)
2) Most Dramatic Action Post This award is given to the writer of
the post that exhibits the best action that goes beyond the normal.
(Examples: a dynamic chase scene, two officers jumped from behind
and a struggle ensues, an invasion from above dragons or a group of
mages, etc.) Regardless of the plot/action this type of post can
create excitement, tension and in some cases even humor.)
3) Best Overall Plot Post (This award is given to the writer of the
post which most influences the entire direction of a plot, without
ignoring what has gone before. (Example: vessel's captain kills self
to save the good of others, erratic behavior in dragon rider due to
various reasons, secret agent's shady boss is a double agent, etc.)
4) Best Humor (This category pretty much speaks for itself. If a
post tickles your funny bone then it's a candidate)
5) Best Love Scene (The type of post for this award can either be
romantic or *****c and can fall under any rating from G to X. It is
for well-written romance/passion of a higher quality that leaves the
unspoken to the reader's imagination.)
** Player Awards **
For outstanding effort by any player, not necessarily restricted to
one unit. Submissions will be accepted from ALL players.
a.. Master Weaver (lifetime award) (This award is given for
weaving beautiful, engaging stories and exhibiting the best
qualities of both a player and a mentor. To be eligible a person
must be an active member of World Weavers for 4 (four) consecutive
years from their date of joining World Weavers. Previous recipients
are not eligible for this award. For those writers that have already
received their Master Weaver under this time period they may start
fresh if they so choose, but their award will not be rescinded. Only
3 (three) Master Weaver's will be chosen per year from all of World
Weavers.) This category is voted on by Admins only.
2) Butterfly (lifetime award)
This award is given to a player who has developed into a beautiful
writer and inspirational player while writing in World Weavers.
Nominations for this award should state the characters and the units
involved and as to why you feel this writer should receive this
award. To be eligible a person must be a viable writing member of
World Weavers for 2 (two) consecutive years. Nominations will be
forwarded to the World Admin for final selection. Previous
recipients not eligible.
3) Rookie of the Year (lifetime award)
This Award is for the first year writer, must work with admin to
raise level/quality of writing, and must post on a regular basis.
Nominations will be forwarded to the World Admin for final
selection.
4) Significant Creation
This award is for the writer who introduces something new, whether
character, subplot, place, or object, which dramatically affects
future play. (This would be a creation above and beyond the normal
and something that is more for long term play instead of a one-time
thing) Nominations will be forwarded to the World Admin for final
selection. Submission should contain if possible the name, date,
unit and reason why it should be considered)
3) Honorable Mention
This award is for the writer of the post that has combined one or
many facets of past and present award categories all rolled into
one, yet it doesn't quite fit in any distinct area. (Example: This
could be a post exhibiting any or all of the following: *significant
character development, a great save or just simply getting around.)
Nominations will be forwarded to the World Admin for final
selection. Submission should contain if possible the name, date,
unit and reason why it should be considered)
4) Special Thanks
This category is to honor writers and administrators that have made
a significant contribution to their individual units/worlds for a
variety of reasons. Such reasons include, but are not limited to:
going beyond the call of duty, being a great inspiration/mentor to
