Hey all, for those of you who are planning on voting in the NC-17 or most shocking categories, my NC-17 stories are now available on my Skeletoncrew's Vault site. (See below for the link.)

SeaThreePeeO · 10-15-2002, 01:52 AM

Way ahead of you there!

*Skeletoncrew* · 10-15-2002, 11:37 AM

I'm proud of you Nun! I need to get my butt in gear and do some more reading today!

SeaThreePeeO · 10-15-2002, 12:45 PM

*wipes brow* Phew! What can I say it wasn't easy.

*Skeletoncrew* · 10-15-2002, 06:16 PM

Well, I'm ready in 6 categories...and I had already decided I wouldn't be voting in all. I must confess though. I know we're supposed to read at least 3 chapters of longer stories and all of short, but there have been a couple where I read a few paragraphs and knew I couldn't vote for it. I'm sorry, but even if someone's idea is sound; if they can't even spell the turtles' names correctly, I can't vote for them.

It's always those little things that getcha! (not to say I'm guilty of having a load of grammar problems myself)

*terran631* · 10-16-2002, 08:09 AM

Rafial....

one of the more unique ways I've seen it spelled. And for the record I still can't stop spelling Mike's name "MichAELangelo" although I am trying.

**HorseTechie** · 10-16-2002, 08:14 AM

When I started writing waaaay back in 1991, I used to spell it as "Rafael" and "Raff". But then I decided that was more Hispanic than Italian, so I had to go through and change them all.

Though... Rafayel does have a nice ring to it.

*Vespera Blaze* · 10-16-2002, 08:16 AM

*blink blink* You mean Mike's name ISNT spelled like that? Crud. I'm going to have to go and do a search and replace in all my stories...

So enlighten me...which of the following?

"Michaelangelo"

"Michealangelo"

"Mikhailanjello"

"Hey you!"

*terran631* · 10-16-2002, 08:20 AM

Heh heh..originally as far as I know Eastman and Laird spelled it Michaelangelo because they didnt have a spell checker. But since the new cartoon is coming out and the new comic they started spelling it Michelangelo which is how the artist spelled his name. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

**Kali** · 10-16-2002, 08:23 AM

Yeah, that sounds like the right explanation. Though I've never been able to keep from spelling MichAElangelo. It's in my spell checker like that.

*Vespera Blaze* · 10-16-2002, 08:29 AM

huh...hadn;t even thought of that one. *shrugs* I'll keep it the way I have it. I like it better anyways.

And just to keep this partially on topic, yes I went and voted!

**Kali** · 10-16-2002, 08:36 AM

I've got a handful of catagories voted for, listed on my comp, and I'm gonna do more reading today. Promise.

**HorseTechie** · 10-16-2002, 10:49 AM

No... it's Micahanjello, dammit!

Yeah, I also still like to spell his name with an A cause that's how I tell it apart from the painter's name. Of course, for the longest, I used to get the A and the E switrched around. I didn't realize that Michealangelo or Rapheal was wrong (the spellchecker wasn't that good then, and didn't recgonize the original names either). Then I had done a seperate study on angels... and noticed "all the good ones end in EL". After that, I was never confused again!

Of course, then came this occasional brain fart that left me wondering if it should be spelled Donnatello, Donatello, or Donatelo?

ladygarth · 10-16-2002, 10:55 AM

There's also a lot of really good stories that were nomanated. So many talented writers and such a variety of stories. Deciding on the three best in a lot of these catagories will be tough.

*Skeletoncrew* · 10-16-2002, 12:34 PM

I'm going to keep spelling it "Michaelangelo" because thats the way I like it. Donny is "Donatello" according to my spellchecker.

I think the tough part is categories where there are less than three, or barely more than three nominees. Personally I'm just going to vote for my favorite of the few, and not necessarily vote for 3 in those categories.

ladygarth · 10-17-2002, 09:02 PM

I finally voted today!!!

SeaThreePeeO · 10-18-2002, 03:54 PM

Congratualtions give yourself a pat on the back!!

*Skeletoncrew* · 10-18-2002, 11:42 PM

The last day is here! Go vote!

**HorseTechie** · 10-19-2002, 10:26 AM

I already did a week ago... chill.

I just picked the easiest category where I already read pretty much everything there.
