I feel a little helpless seeing it from the other side of the planet, but I’m glad if a huge collective hug from the blogosphere can cheer you up a little. I know I’m not the only one who wants to hug you.<br /><br />@We Fly Spitfires: It was very well deserved! You’ve become one of those institutions.<br /><br />@Bronte: I’m glad you appreciated. And thanks for the link point out, it’s fixed.<br /><br />@Charles: thanks, I’m glad you appreciated it. The blogosphere is so huge so it’s hard to follow everything that is going on and I’m glad if some of my findings were news.<br /><br />@Shadesofgrey: Thank you very much!

Right now it feels a little like: "never again"", but I'm pretty certain that will change until next year, if I'm still around blogging then.<br /><br />@Frank: yes, you don't really grasp how big, productive and generally amazing this communiy is until you sit down and summerize it. It's quite hard, not to say impossible, to get a full overview of it.<br /><br />@Rades: I'm so glad you appreciated it! And I'm pretty certain that you'll be one of the end candidates for the list next year, if you keep on doing what you're doing. You're amazing!<br /><br />@Imraith Dos Santos: Cheers!<br /><br />@Vidyala: That statement can't be repeted too often. Grats to a well deserved award!<br /><br />@Pewter: you didn't even need to be mentioned by someone else, you were already among those bloggers (and podcasters) that are top on mind for me. Yep. You're that good. Be proud!<br /><br />@Apple: Check out the comments to the call-for-nomination-post. It might be there, unless it was one of those nominations I got by e-mail.<br /><br />@Syl: All those nominations you got really shows that you indeed were a strong candidate for the break-through-of-the-year category. You should be immensly proud of what you've achieved! (And I expect more to come! Just look at your lovely guest posting at WoM! Quite a success I'd say!)<br /><br />@Tam: well, as I stated it really has given me a headache and sometimes I've been ready to just give in. It just seemed so cruel and unfair not to be able to select more people as number 1. I suppose in the end there IS a little bit of randomness in it. How do you really measure quality? I ended up following my instinct I think. The writer class was one of the toughest. In the end I think the fact that Chas is more productive than Charles contributed to my decision. There simply had been more writing to enjoy. <br /><br />@Klepsacovic: Actually thinking closer about it I think Tobold might need a hug. He just doesn't know it yet.<br /><br />@Sionel: Thanks! I'm glad you appreciated it.<br /><br />@Fitz: I hope I'll run this event in 2012 as well but you never know. Currently I'm afraid I suffer too much from PPI list exhaustion to think about it.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-69228930938678516152011-01-14T05:56:20.507+01:002011-01-14T05:56:20.507+01:00New category award for next year: craziest blogger...New category award for next year: craziest blogger nominations for PPI Awards.

And so there you go. <br /><br />Thanks for all the nomination link love. These were some very tough choices this year and I cannot disagree with any of the winners in the blogger category. I know I had to rack my brain a couple of times to come up with my responses.<br /><br />Another great year to come and more awards in 2012. Let's get to it, shall we?

I know I tend to grumble when people think Chas is me but really I should take it as tremendous compliment :D<br /><br />This must have been a borderline impossible task, Larisa, so congratulations to you as well - I suppose the thing with running the awards is that you never get an award yourself, which is terribly unfair.<br /><br />I love pretty much all the blogs you mentioned, so I have no idea how you chose winners. I thought Gnomer wrote some amazing posts this year, and Klep has been amazing. Syl has been great too, and I admire Keeva and Pewter very much indeed. Can't believe Chas pipped Charles though - he's also a truly wonderful writer.Tamhttp://www.righteousorbs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-17557163931156929252011-01-13T22:02:28.263+01:002011-01-13T22:02:28.263+01:00Congrats to everyone!Congrats to everyone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-57683442860250385662011-01-13T21:57:26.154+01:002011-01-13T21:57:26.154+01:00A very interesting read and obviously huge effort ...A very interesting read and obviously huge effort to compose, cheers Larísa!<br /><br />and I guess for some people it's just hard to believe (or too good to be true) that RO has two writers like that, I've actually seen Tam and Chas mixed up before too, hehe.<br /><br />many great nominations and very well-deserved winners!

I read his blog before he and Tam merged into Righteous Orbs, so I always roll my eyes a little when people get them mixed up these days.
