The Fable Storyteller Awards: Statistics 'N Stuff
Ten months. It's been ten months since I first brainstormed the original post for the 'Start a Story, be your own Fable topic'. (Seriously, where has the time gone?) The thread alone has inspired many brilliantly-creative minds to create their own Fable - in which, has inspired me to make an end-of-the-year-award-type discussion to further show my appreciation for the storyteller crowd out there!
So please, feel free to treat yourself to a Huff 'N Puff cigarette as we gather 'round to look at the various achievements, awards, and statistics for the users that have contributed greatly to the thread.
First, I'll start by explaining some of the most eye-opening thread stats in a brief summary. I think you'll be surprised at some of the results!
Up to this very point, the Fable story thread has surpassed over 110 pages of tales imagined, has had around 34 creative members joined, and has had a total of 6039 comments posted - most of which are posts of user-created content.
Secondly, I will now list the major and minor original characters each user has created for the story thread since March.
FYI: If you notice any errors or missing original characters that weren't included in your list, be sure to let me know and I'll do what I can to correct whatever the problem may be!

1st off, congrats to you Dragon for making this wonderful awards ceremony. Beautifully put together and I KNOW this was very time consuming and I, along with so many others, appreciate all of this.
Now, I just noticed half of my OC's belong to Katie and Jersey. (Damn you two. Damn) xD Applaud to all the other writers and their OCs. Seems like EMMY and I had our own versions for Bloody Mary and it worked; I love seeing everyone's take on a character and pleased to know mine was included. Also, for Vivian, Gren, Jersey and Johann. In a way, glad ep. 5 happened the way it did.
Cool! I won the Christmas AND Thanksgiving challenges. -pulls out paper- I'd like to thank this thread, the characters involved with the challenge....uhhh, Mountain Dew for helping me in so many ways. xD
After the shit night I had, this just made my day. I'm so glad you, Dragon and so many other readers and writers loved my stories and the characters developed throughout. And counting indeed, my Dragon theif....counting indeed.
And fable of the year for Georgie Porgie Junior? Congrats to you, Porgie. (hands him award) YOU deserve this, after putting up with Mary and producing thse demon spa- (get's hit by fireball) I mean.....precious, sweet little angels. You're a lucky man, Porgie....(hides under table)
And to you, my sweet Penelope Porgie. You were always going to go far, kid.
And finally, a big thank you to all the readers and writers on here that not only read my story but contibuted to this thread. I've said this before in a recent post; I never intented on staying THIS long. I was going to cover just Georgie and Lyla's relationship and call it good. Then, the whole Porgie Clan came to me and I had to do it.
Over the months, I'm glad I stuck around and did so. The Porgie Clan has become a HUGE part of me, my family and those reading the chapters. This thread brought me many drawing ideas, fans of TWAU and memories to last a life time.
YOU all know who I'm speaking to when I say this: you are wonderful people and I wouldn't be here without your kind responses and encouraging words. Pie would be nothing but a memory. This thread introduced me to some fantastic contibuters. YOU guys are what makes this thread. YOU. And to @JJWolf because this thread brought me a friend; we both live in the same state and town and its been fun not only collabortating with you but hanging out on the weekends and days off.
And finally, here is to more Fables, new memories and wonderful times. You all have been wonderful to me and I'm blessed to consider you a HUGE part in my life. Happy New Years and here we go again!
Wow! Like...WOW! This was seriously so awesome to read through, I loved every bit of it! Congrats to Pie, for winning Fable of the Year! That's awesome! Thanks Dragon, for putting this all together! It's seriously so awesome (I said that again, didn't I?) that you did this!
Reading through was so fun, and I don't think you missed any OC's on my list I'm super glad to be apart of this community, there's never been any hateful words toward anyone, and everyone has always ever been helpful and nice I'm glad to have gotten to know you all, it's been a LONG ten months, that's for sure!
I'm glad the personal favorite is Ash ^-^ I think she's my favorite out of the first litter of cubs, next to Scar and then Noah. And you didn't include yourself, Dragon! I think Tez sould have been in that mix! He's awesome!
Congratulations to EVERYONE who was meantioned and EVERYONE who got some sort of reward or special recognition. You all deserved it! Stay awesome!
Like Pie, I NEVER intended to stick around very long. I honestly didn't know WHAT was going to happen, and there were actually several months between about April and June that I didn't post ANYTHING. Because of Dragon's persistent challenges he would post before/after the next episode of TWAU, I started to really get into the writing spirit! And I decided it was something I loved doing! Plus, I love reading everyone else's stories!
As for me, I'm going to go take some medicine because I'm still slightly sick :L I'm okay though, not dying (As I thought I was XD) And have Happy New Years! All of you!
First, I would first like to thank Dragon for encouraging me to continue my story after I finished my fifth story. And it was nice being part of these reward ceremonies and all, but the fun of crafting the tales from the stone canyon that is mind and being able to read some of these deep and emotional stories is what I enjoyed the most.
As you can see, I enjoy action, alot which why I nearly often include it in majority of my stories. I also enjoy mystery and suspense and also grown to liking romantic genre thanks to puddin n pie and EMMYPESS. Hell, I tried to make my own but it didn't turn out so well lol but that didn't stop me from including some parts in there.
10 months is a long time and sometimes I oftenly look back at some of my stories to see what I could of done better. Did I mention that I was creating my own Marvel/DC universe with my Fable characters? I don't know if anyone got that when I created Fable Avengers storyline, but yeah. Shout out to LupineNoir for encouraging me. Expect Fable Avengers 2 right after Daren's second story!
One more thing I like to mention is that Fables are one of favorites comics with the first being Justice League. ALLL the stories there were incredible and touching. Bigby is still my favorite character and Mr. Dark being my favorite villians. This comic also served a big part in my inspirations and I'm going to be sad when it ends. But nothing last forever, unfortunately.
Final thanks to all the critics who read my storiesand enjoyed, I will not disappoint in my next two stories and look forward to huffing and puffing with you in the new year.
TWAU SEASON 2 PLOX!
I have the biggest grin on my face, I feel honoured for being mentioned. Thank you so much.
Damn... I should've posted something on that thread when I had the chance Happy New Years to all though!
It's never too late to join us, man! We're a friendly bunch and it's always exciting to see a new member join our storytelling group. Happy New Years to you too!
Oh man, all these responses have been heartwarming so far, I'll definitely make sure to respond to each of your amazing comments personally after I eat some lunch. XD
I 'joined' you bunch of lovelies last night with my character introduction of Nick; but I write full blown stories that aren't really meant for a community thread...
Maybe I'll write stories for Nick on the thread in this New Year; I have to use him for something other than my story :P
This, Dragon, is just wonderful. None of us would be here if it weren't for you (well, we'd be alive, but I'm sure you know what I mean ). Your dedication to the thread has been more than is necessary; and because of that dedication from you, I can proudly say that, despite most of us being hundreds if not thousands of miles apart, I know I've met a fantastic group of people that I would call friends.
To everyone on the thread I want to say my thanks; and to those of us who've been around even when few others were passing through, I reckon we could write Season Two of The Wolf Among Us! XD
An absolutely excellent award selection, and I have to say an especial thanks for the Halloween award and Dixa being one of the favourite OC's - that damn story went on for far too many months, but good things have come from it. XD
And a Happy New Year!
Fables Avengers should be an actual thing. Like a comic book or movie or something! ;D
I'm in....let's do this.
Well this is pretty cool, I'm happy to be included!
My only regret is not making Robert and RJ sooner.
I'm pleased everyone had accepted Robert Grendel into the book of Fables, along side Lyla Smith, Harmony Wolf, Mr. Weasel, Tez & Draco. I'm glad I stuck around and decided to join the bandwagon. Thank you, Dragon, for the MANY wonderful challenges and putting this lovely awards ceremony together.
I joined due to Pie's wonderful stories and how friendly and respectful this thread was; everyone was polite, read the stories and had fun. Even NOW, we all get along anf continue to write wonderful tales of adventure and romance.
YAY! RJ is a favorite to Dragon! -silently celebrates-
ALSO:
I see what you did there....ROSE in popularity. She and Robert....:D Ahem.....excuse me....XD
I'm looking forward to more challenges, stories and Fables to come. I'm glad to be a part of such a wonderful group of people. Congrats to the winners and to Pie for the Fable of the year. Georgie Junior is indeed a fantastic Fable.
Here is to MORE awards and time well spent with one another. -throws confetti- -pours drinks- And happy new year, guys!!
Love you, man.
You should be very proud of what you've done for this thread. Keep drawing that TWAU fan art and stories regarding the Porgie Clan. You, like so many others here, have a knack for writing stories. If you ever choose a different career path, I'll be the 1st in line to buy your comics and your stories. xD
It was a pleasure getting to know such a kind and well rounded person. Congrats again to the MANY rewards.
Thanks for including me in the awards. I know I didn't finish in time, but at least I gave a short little preview lol. Congrates to the winner
I want to congratulate all winners all well deserved and very talented people I can't wait to see more from all of you
Well-said, dude, well-said! As always, it has always been an honor for you being part of the discussion! And I'm still glad that my thread has brought a friendship between you two.
Again, thanks for the compliments and overall positivity.
I'm happy you loved it in all of its entirety! As usual, I appreciate feedback like this from you and the others.
And you're not the only who thought Tez should've got a spot in the awards, LupineNoir had the same idea too. :P
Hey, anytime man. I've personally enjoyed reading your epic tales of well, epic proportions! I really like your idea of having your recent Fable gang being a mock Avengers team.
Oh, and it's EMMYPESS and LupineNoir - you spelled their usernames wrong. XD
You're welcome. The Russian Roulette scene you've described has got to be one of my favorite moments in storytelling this year!
I would like that, Hazza. I'll be sure to check out your story on that site eventually as well.
Yep, pretty much all of what you said is what I definitely agree on in a heartbeat. I trust I'll be seeing more of Dixa soon.
It seems that there was hope left after all. GET IT? XD
Anyways, you've earned it just like the rest.
Thnx man; Nick was only meant to be for that story and then a non-canon spin-off of it afterwards; but if I think of some stuff for him to do on the thread then I will post it up
Nick is in love with a certain Fable.... read the story to find out who!
Wow! Thank you so much for mentioning my little weirdos XD
I know i haven't been that active on the forums so i'm sorry about that. Congrats the the winners, you all deserve it! I hope everyone here had a great year of fanfic writing and i hope it's better next year!
Thank you again and Happy new year everyone!!
Better late than never, as what they usually say... :P
No problem with the challenges, I always feel joy in doing so whenever I make one for you guys.
(yep, I knew you would catch onto that sooner or later!)
Good job with that comment Dragon :P
haha Brick...
It's quite alright, as you've made a good impression in the story thread so far. :P Happy New Years!
You are most certainly welcome!
All of them have deserved their rightful places in the list, you too!
Oh lol, my apologies.
Lmao when I think of the Fables becoming superheros my mind keeps wandering to the F-Men story arc (102-106) where Pinocchio was pretending to be Xavier from X-Men and he was rounding up the 'best' (Because he sometimes chose on looks versus ability) Fables XD
Sorry for intruding, if this justifies as that. I love the idea of an Avengers Fables, though might I be the first to suggest that Pinocchio is NOT apart of it? XD Although, be might be a good side-kick XD
He didn't choose Rapunzel though when he found out she couldn't control her hair...
Btw I heard you were ill these past few days EMMYPESS, you feel any better now?
CAN I TOO OMG IT WOULD BE MY DREAM TELLTALE CAN YOU HEAR ME THROUGH YOUR SCREEN I WILL WRITE SEASON TWO FOR YOU WITH THESE AMAZING FOLKS LETS DO THIS
Congrats to you! I absolutely love RJ and what you've done with your characters
Happy New Year to you too! I don't think the community would be as lovely without you or any of the others! I WILL TOTALLY JOIN THE WRITING TEAM OF SEASON TWO IF IT WERE POSSIBLE (Gotta go make a twitter now and non-stop tweet TT lol)
Aw Romance is mostly Pie's thing, but I try my best to do it often too! Glad you liked it! Happy New Years!
