Carter-A259 (CommanderTony)

 * Name: Carter-A259
 * Author: CommanderTony
 * Nominator: Tuckerscreator
 * Description: It’s a big day when a canon character can be nominated for a Fanon of the Year Award and regardless of whether or not which side you stand on Tony’s often out-of-the-box justification for things, you can’t deny that our good Commander has written this good Commander a powerful bio and lifestory worthy of becoming Bungie-grade canon itself.

Voting (9)

 * 1) Heck yes! Tuckerscreator (stalk )
 * 2) I may not always agree with Tony on what he does, but I'll give him the fact that this is a nice piece of work here -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 17:18, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) A wonderful article. Carter is a great example of a wonderful Spartan article. Through it, CommanderTony demonstrates how to write an amazing character bio, while still preventing it from beginning an overly-detailed Gary Stu. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 19:26, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Per above
 * Meh, I might as well give this nomination my sole self-vote. Worked hard on this baby for quite awhile, and while it's far from finished, the state it's in right now is nothing short of some of my best work.
 * 1) No matter how much i hate to say it, this article is very good. Shivly
 * 2) Any SPARTAN so closely and unashamedly based on my actual life deserves to win. I'm Ajax-013, and I support this article
 * 3) As per above--RichardRHunt (talk) (contribs)01:48, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Carter is a great article. Just scrolling down the page you can see CommanderTony worked very hard on this and can write extremely good biographies for his characters. Death will follow you... but you can survive 18:42, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Felix-116 (Sona 'Demal)

 * Name: Felix-116
 * Author: Sona 'Demal
 * Nominator: Athena32

Voting (11)

 * 1) A Well written and thorough article, and a prime example of a nomination-worthy SPARTAN.
 * 2) Agreed with above. Shivly
 * 3) Not only is it a good article, Felix has also influenced a number of stories.--Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 00:51, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) As per the others, and I have to, I seriously have to, return the favor. BOO! Hah! Gotcha. 00:56, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) As per the others. This is a well established character with a unique and interesting backstory.
 * 6) I like to think of this article as an equal to Tony's Carter article, but in the end, I picked this one; because it's really commendable to have a character being so intertwined with stories (rather than the usual case of characters being created alone, with the occassional story/RP to complement/add to it), which easily overcomes my skepticism regarding the time-travel thing.
 * 7) I actually find this character fairly interesting. He draws a nice contrast to most Spartans as he "entered" the program late. --Do not insult me. 20:05, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) As per above.
 * 9) As per above--RichardRHunt (talk) (contribs)01:44, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Felix-116! I choose you! --SPARTAN-G023  [[Image:Spartan III.png|30px]]Viae Cohors Gamma Sparti Limes Manipvlvs Myrmillio 04:37, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Per above

I hope you guys are being honest about this...don't pick my article just because you know me. This has to be fair and unbiased, remember.  There is no glory without honour

Riker-012 (Lordofmonsterisland)

 * Author: Lordofmonsterisland
 * Nominator: Lordofmonsterisland

Voting (5)

 * 1) Am I indulging my ego? If I have much of one, then probably. But really, this is my pride and joy, the best of my characters, probably the best of my articles, and I had to give him a chance to shine. I've put my heart and soul into Riker for the past two and a half years, crafted him into my ultimate article, and I think he's worthy of having a shot at an award. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 17:45, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Another great example of a character whose author has put a hell of a lot of effort into his creation. This article has been an inspiration to me on several occasions and it definitely deserves a lot more recognition than it's already gotten.
 * 3) I'm quite confused about why this article isn't picking up much votes. It's a superbly written article, and as LOMI said, this is his ultimate article. Jawsredfield 12:07, December 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Rather unique among the site's SPARTAN articles, well written, imaginative and a personal favourite of mine.
 * 2) Since rejoining the site, I've made huge efforts to revamp this article, I believe it deserves recognition. Joshua (Talk)  (Contribs) 21:31, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * Name: Leonardo Simmons
 * Author: SPARTAN-118
 * Nominator: Rozh

Voting (5)

 * 1) This article is an exceptional example of a unique, original take on an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He is far from a Gary Stu and is thus quite balanced as a character. Additionally, the history is quite expansive and detailed; its in-depth biographical details truly place you in an empathetical position, and the quotes are a quite nice touch, might I add. >;3 -- <font color="#888888">• TARADIAN  <font color="#888888">NITEMARE  •  04:48, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Stel 'Vadam (Stel' Vadam)

 * Name: Stel 'Vadam
 * Author: Stel' Vadam
 * Nominator: Sona 'Demal

Voting (12)

 * 1) From a writing calibre this article could be considered rather average. However, I vote for it because how huge a ripple Stel' Vadam's namesake character has made over this wiki in the past year. Involved in at least half a dozen or more collaborations across this wiki, Stel's character is always the ace card in the deck when it comes to running the show in any story. The user's writing ability itself has increased quite tremondously throughout the past year and could be easily seen doing so with the article's constant updating. With the amount of work that keeps going into it now, I'm pretty sure that Stel 'Vadam of the Vadam clan is not going to be forgotten for a very long time. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )
 * 2) I agree wholeheartedly with Tucker on this one. From the experience of someone who's invested the majority of his work on this wiki in a single character, I can tell when someone is really devoted to their character and Stel and his namesake definitely fit this particular bill. Furthermore, I think that giving the award to this article will prove that the annual awards aren't just reserved for users with extremely good writing skills. The effort put in from other dedicated members of the community should also be observed and rewarded.
 * 3) As per nomination. Furthermore, the effort placed into this article is substantially high and is well on its way to be this year's best Covenant character of the year. Well done. <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:white;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> There is no glory without honour
 * 4) I agree as well. His devotion and effort for the writing of his character needs to be truly noted and should be rewarded for his actions.
 * 5) Perhaps the single best example on the site of an author's improvement. Truly proof that people can improve and be useful, no matter what they act like originally. Props. --Do not insult me. 07:04, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) An article into which an exceptional amount of time and dedication has been put; thoroughly deserving of recognition.
 * 7) Anything I can say is already said! Jawsredfield 19:10, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) One of the best articles on here, seeing as how this lone character has made appearances in countless stories, articles, etc. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 19:18, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Blargy blarg Honk Shivly
 * 10) Votings because I can and this is good article because it is mine and it is good :D BOO! Hah! Gotcha. 01:28, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) From the elbow grease put into this article, this character has developed into an Elite we all have grown to love; even from when he managed to survive eating an activated missile pod. The character has been built up and overpolished to achieve this goal and to be recognised by all. He has been put into so many articles and stories that it is bizzare that he has not earned an award of some kind. Go Stel! Gruntijackal Vote for Stel 'Vadam, if you haven't, why not? o_O
 * 12) To be honest, i'm not absolutely impressed by the quality of Stel's nominated article, however, as there was a lack of many good Covenant characters created this year to my knowledge, he's the only one with a qualified article. Keep up the good work!

 * 2) Been a fan of this article ever since I read it; worthy of an award, without doubt.
 * 3) Not bad. Builds off of the basics of AIs while adding her own personal level of quirky. It'll be fun to see more of her. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )

 * Nominator: Rozh

Voting (5)

 * 1) Richard's Richard is an exemplary example of a civilian character. His detailed, expansive experiences with the Office of Naval Research truly make for an interesting read as well. One may best summarize ol' Rich's article as "incredibly brilliant, yet utterly insane," although definitely more the former than the latter. >:3 -- <font color="#888888">• TARADIAN  <font color="#888888">NITEMARE  •  06:55, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Nice article, with interesting information and just the right amount of humour in the quotes. <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:white;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> There is no glory without honour
 * 3) On a wiki chock full of Spartans, Marines, Covenant zealots, rebels, and mercenaries a civilian article like this is a rare sight indeed. While the overall article could use some work, the concept behind it is great and the quotes really add some depth to the character.
 * 4) Imma self-vote on this--RichardRHunt (talk) (contribs)19:33, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) This character is just about one of the best I've seen....but that cow DOES look like it's going to eat him....BOO! Hah! Gotcha. 21:24, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Self vote
 * 2) I like it. Shivly
 * 3) Very interesting concept.
 * 4) Been cheering Justin along for a whie - and this happened. Swell work.
 * 5) While certainly the most unique out of any article created and nominated in 2010, GEN is nonetheless an extremely well written and thought-out piece of technobabble!
 * 6) While this is clearly heavily inspired by another franchise (The large number of APS's mobile suit articles connected to the technology was a bit of a clue.), it's the kind of article you don't see too often and, technobabble or no, a concerted effort has evidently been made to back it up with scientific facts--something that I know from experience is not easy.
 * 7) A detailed and well written article; its stunning detail is enhanced with ample visuals.

I want to thank you guys for your comments. It just makes me happy to hear thoughts, even though its a huge article of technobabble. xD

But thats only the tip of the metaphorical iceberg - the article elaborates on the culture, geography, military, and notable habitats of the planet, among many other little details.

We've got SPARTAN-II's, III's, LEONIDANS, TROJANS, and best of all VOLSUNGS, epic B.A's with massive power-suits ready to grip you to pieces if you say no. But in all seriousness, VOLSUNG really is an amazing article: not only does he explain the project thoroughly, he expounds upon the VOLSUNG-TROJAN rivalry, incorporates Project VAJRA, and involves them in Operation: VORAUSSICHT. VOLSUNG's all over SpecOps' universe, even if it's mostly behind the scenes. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  <font color=#777777>The Lost Books 17:36, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) The article is still ongoing but it gives a fascinating look into the Covenant side of the Human-Covenant War, and even within such an expansive description you can still see the individual histories of every battle and character shining out. The Raak'ezh are ripe for a VORAUSSICHT-esque expanded world and once again Specops demonstrates his knowledge of canon and knowledge of history.  Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )
 * 2) I'm Ajax 013, and I support this article
 * 3) I was incredibly split between both of Specops' nominated articles. Ultimately, I went with this as it was a fresh take on Halo Fanon military units in a new and un-paved direction.

 * 6) We've seen Spartans, we've seen ODSTs. We've read about virtually every possible fight and every piece of technology available. But how many bands have we seen before?

 * 1) We need to see a custom Ghost on display at Top Gear one day. And a Brute Chopper. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )
 * 2) Simply awesome. Not much else to say.
 * 3) It was a hard choice between this and Human Nature for me, but in the end I had to go with this one because it simply covers a broader range of topics. Movie reviews, terrorist attacks, car shows, and even--if my memory serves--a wedding get space here, and while more than a few draw inspiration from real life recent events, the Halo spin on them makes this a negligible issue. I wouldn't say that this is a better look at the civilian sector than Human Nature--just about every story is either about the military or has military style themes--but it's creativity and style cannot be denied.

Farewell to Subtle Tank (Tuckerscreator)

 * Name: Farewell to Subtle Tank
 * Author: Tuckerscreator
 * Nominator: Tuckerscreator
 * Description: I admit this is a first since it's directly out-of-canon here, but I’m choosing to nominate it because of what it represents as a personal tale. Poetry is a rarity on Halo Fanon but when I wrote it I hoped to illustrate the binding framework that makes us our community of this special wiki. Our admin Subtank is that glue holds us together, and while the news of her leaving turned out gratefully to be false alarms, there’s no denying she brings out the best of all of us. That’s what I hoped to illustrate by writing this poem.

 * Name: Operation: VORAUSSICHT
 * Author: Specops306
 * Nominator: Lordofmonsterisland
 * Description: Has VORAUSSICHT been nominated elsewhere? Yes. But the truth is, it's so much more than a roleplay. At times, it was a novel, at times a community project, and at times just a really neat article about an operation to dig up ONI's treachery. This right here was the first of its kind: we'd discussed the possibility that ONI might've screwed up SPARTAN numbers (and that's all VORAUSSICHT was originally going to be about - SPARTAN numbers being screwed up), we even made a way for some to get around that problem, but VORAUSSICHT looked into everything in depth, and found out ONI was more than a little corrupt. I mean, come on, how could a guy named Dracula be good anyway? And then there's the Xenomorphs of course; that's a real nice touch to the chaos. And since it's not over yet, we're still not sure just how bad everything really was/is, or how bad it'll get.

The concept of having the players taking the role of the ODSTs instead of the SPARTANs was conceived even before Bungie announced Halo 3: ODST.

 * 2) One of the best stories on this wiki, the writers have put amazing effort into it and they deserve to be rewarded. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 04:19, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) CT has really outdone himself this year. Look at any of his articles and I'd be very surprised if you'll disagree. <span class="buttonlink" style="border-width: 2px; white-space:nowrap;background-color:white;padding:1px 2px 1px 2px;color:black;"> There is no glory without honour
 * 2) Indeed I would call this year the Age of CT. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )
 * 3) His writing style has inspired many other users and his creativity is astounding. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 06:18, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Like me. :] Per above.
 * 5) I seem to be ineligible this year, so good luck!  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   09:42, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) You've done a good job this year Tony. BBC, Carter, et al - a dadgum find job. Good luck, pal. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  <font color=#777777>The Lost Books 17:28, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) It was this year I (and many others) started to take inspiration from his writing style, and boy does those articles look schmexier because of it :) Also, the BBC News Archive was simply a perfect addition to Halo Fanon's long list of articles.
 * 8) If not for any other reason, I choose to vote for Tony for Writer of the Year for the remarkable innovation he has shown. Doubtless, many of our articles would not look as good as they do now without his innovation in the fields of style and templates.
 * 9) I'm Ajax 013, and I support this article user
 * 10) This was a very, very hard vote for me to cast because all three of the nominees are amongst the absolute best users on the site, but at the end of the day I'm going with Tony. Most of my reasons have been listed in the votes above, so I'll just throw this one out: Even when something he writes on the IRC, the forum, or a talk page grates my nerves a little, there can simply be no denying what an excellent and gifted article writer that Tony is.
 * 11) Owing to all of the stuff this guy's done over the year to the site; all of which I have witnessed, means that he gets my vote. --<font color="#000000">SPARTAN-G023  [[Image:Spartan III.png|30px]]<font color="#006400">Viae Cohors Gamma Sparti <font color=#000000>Limes Manipvlvs Myrmillio 04:44, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) CT is awesome. He helps this site out extremely well, and so he deserves high recognition.-- Death will follow you... <font color="blue" size="2">but you can survive 00:37, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
