Rules
'''PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY, BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE RULES FOR OTHER FEATURES. RULES UNIQUE TO FEATURED QUOTE ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN RED '''

Nominating Rules

 * 1) Featured Quote has TWO voting cycles per month, instead of one.
 * 2) Don't take the word "Quote" literally. Narrative passages can be just as quoteworthy as dialogue.
 * 3) Please identify the story that the Quote comes from.
 * 4) If there is a stated Theme (see below), then nominees must fit that theme.
 * 5) You may nominate Quotes from other people's stories without permission, unless the Theme states otherwise. Of course, you can also nominate Quotes from your own stories.
 * 6)  If you nominate a Quote from a story that is not your own, then you must identify yourself as the nominator. This is necessary because of Voting Rule #4.
 * 7) A story's author has veto power over Quotes from that story. If you object to a particular Quote that someone else has nominated from your story (e.g. because it gives away a spoiler), then you may delete that nominee for any reason or for none, with no questions asked.
 * 8) Only one Quote per story per nominator. In other words, two people could each nominate a Quote from Story X, but one person may not nominate two Quotes from it. One person could, however, nominate one Quote from Story X and one Quote from Story Y.
 * 9) Please limit nominations to 60 words or less.
 * 10) Please be aware of spoiler potential when nominating a Quote from someone else's story.

Voting Rules

 * 1) You must have an account and 100 total edits to vote. You must be logged in and your vote must be signed so the administrators can verify voter eligibility.
 * 2) Nominees receiving 5 or more Oppose votes may be removed from the ballot at the discretion of the administrators.
 * 3) Vote on as many Quotes as you wish, but only once on each. You may not vote for a Quote from your own story  except as noted below .
 * 4) If a Quote from your story was nominated by someone else, then you may vote for it.
 * 5) If you nominate a Quote from a story that you did not write or collaborate on, then you may also vote for it.
 * 6) The following rules must be followed when Opposing a quote:
 * You must provide a reason for your vote. "No" and "Sorry" are not reasons.
 * Oppose votes that appear to be needlessly harsh or that don't observe basic rules of civility will be deleted. If it's worth saying, it can be said politely.
 * Please try to provide constructive criticism. This is the whole point of the Oppose option, because Oppose votes aren't actually counted.
 * "I want another quote to win" votes will be deleted. If you want another Quote to win, then cast a Support vote for the other Quote and leave it at that.

Theme
For October 1st - October 15th, there is no theme, so you may nominate Quotes from any story.

Tobias is shocked at Minerva's strategy
Five contestants are left standing on the treestumps.

"Hey Lynsey, can you show me your ponytail? It looks cute," says Minerva.

Lynsey spins around and falls off the platform.

Tobias is in the confessional. "I think that's the meanest thing she's done all season."

Alejandra and Saku get Cutthroat

"What show is it? Is it TV-PG?" asks Zendaya.

"Yep." says Chris. "Adventure Time."

"That show's annoying, stupid, and Neandertal-ish." says Saku.

"So are you." says Alejandra under her breath.

Oppose
(NAV) Made it shorter.
 * 1) I oppose this mainly for the reason that the qoute is too big, it'll clutter up a lot of space on the front page. Besides, the only thing actually funny about this are the last two lines. Do a   barrel   roll!  15:32, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

To be awesome...
"What's with all this negativity?" Doyce asks. "Try to be more positive! Tell me how awesome you are!"

"I don't feel very awesome," Holden replies.

Doyce shakes his head. He says, "To be awesome, you have to think awesome."

Wheeler's Epic Battle with Nature
Jeffrey pops out of nowhere, startling both Brittney and Wheeler. Wheeler begins wobbling forward.

"Hands...stuck in pockets...can't catch mys--" Wheeler's struggle ends with a mouthful of damp sand. Wheeler flails on the ground, trying to turn himself over and still failing to free his hands. Brittney and Jeffrey, who are facing away from Wheeler, do not notice his desperate battle.

As the battle between Wheeler and nature rages on, a new contestant arrives.

Charlote's First Talk with a Villain
“Your name is Charlote, right?” India questions Charlote nicely.

Charlote brings up a pitchfork. She answers, “Why? Aren’t all villains mean conniving blood suckers?”

“Well, that’s not stereotypical at all.” India replies sarcastically. “What I meant to say is, no. Villains are real people inside it’s just that we care about the money and winning. I guess that’s what I fit into but some others um… aren’t I guess.”

“Thanks, for telling me. I brought some onions just in case.” Charlote says showing a ring of onions around her back.

India eyes grow wide. She asks, “Did you think that I was a vampire?”

“Pfft, no why would I… so I did.” Charlote answers. “I guess I’ve never conversed with a real villain before.”
