Hello and welcome to the 2019 PreQuill Gala! Thanks to all who nominated and congratulations to all those who were nominated! What's a PreQuill, you ask? Well, it's a red carpet event for all our nominees, panelists, and friends (and anyone who wants to attend) to come and mingle! At this event: - you'll experience the big reveal of who the finalists are in 16 big categories; and - we'll present 17 Quill Awards in smaller categories. PreQuill Ceremony Manners: I will give an introduction at the beginning and the presenters will give a little spiel on each award, followed by the announcement of the winner. After each winner is announced, there will be a minute or so of time for the winner to post an acceptance speech if he/she is so inclined and/or present. For the PreQuill, you're invited and encouraged to chat along in the thread! Feel free to give comments, congratulate winners, call out your favorites, describe your attire, etc., etc. (Hint: Press the F5 key to refresh the page and keep up with comments ) You're also welcome to talk in this item both before and after the ceremony. Keep it in the rating please! Have fun!

Elle - on hiatus says "I'm delighted that several people won their very first Quills today, that's super exciting. An extra big congratulations to them. " Elle - on hiatus says "And now, a special announcement. As you can imagine, hosting the Quills requires a lot of work in the background, well before we ever get to the ceremonies. It's incredibly rewarding, but can also prove to be a tough demand on a person." Elycia Lee ☮ says "Congrats! You guys are awesome!" Sharmelle'sThankfulExpressions says "Congratulations!!!" Elle - on hiatus says "Obviously this is a community effort, and I want to thank all the volunteers (especially Kit and Jayne ), the judges, the fundraisers and all of you who nominate. " Sum1's In Seattle says "Was my first Quill, very surprised!" Elle - on hiatus says "So, without further ado, Kit has agreed to be my co-host, and from now on, we will alternate hosting Quills each year. Kitt will do the even years and I will do the odd years. Yes, I'm sure she planned it so that I'd be the odd one. " Elle - on hiatus says "So while Kit will be your Quillmaster next year, I assure you that I am not going to be far away, and I will continue to help her behind the scenes, just as she did for me. And the following year you'll be back to me, and so on and so forth. " Elle - on hiatus says "Well, that about wraps up the PreQuill. The official Quills ceremony will be next Saturday, 6 June at 4pm WDC time. We will be presenting all the remaining Quill Awards. Make sure you're there!" Beacon's Anchor says "Hey, congratulations to everyone and you guys worked hard to get where you are at right now and keep up with the good work. " Write_Mikey_Write! says "Well, this was / is great, but I've got a 1-year old to feed. Congratulations, all!" Elle - on hiatus says "Wait, your first Quill, Jim? " Total Displayed: 100 |
