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 unless the Theme states otherwise.
 * 6)  If you nominate a Quote from a story that you did not write or collaborate on, then you must identify yourself as the nominator. This is necessary because of Voting Rule #5.
 * 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 75 words or less. "Near-miss" Quotes that exceed this limit by only a few words may be allowed at the Ballot Administrator's discretion.
 * 10) Please be aware of spoiler potential when nominating a Quote from someone else's story.
 * 11) No in-jokes, please. Quotes must be understandable outside the context of the story, except as noted below.
 * 12) Quotes must appear on an actual story page. Ancillary materials from character pages, blog-based previews, etc. are ineligible.
 * 13) Quotes must be formatted exactly as they are in the story, except as noted below. The easiest way to comply with this rule is by copy-and-paste.
 * If you need to add tags to identify speakers or subjects, please italicize them.
 * If you need to add narrative text to make a line understandable out of context, enclose the added text in brackets [thusly]. This is standard journalistic practice for quoting things. Note that such added text should be only a few words, if that.
 * If a Quote is in past tense in the story, it must be in past tense on the ballot. Ditto for other tenses.
 * A Quote may be shortened to meet length limitations. If you do this, replace the removed portion with an ellipsis (...).

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 who isn't a collaborating partner on the story, 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.
 * "This isn't funny" is only a valid reason to Oppose if the Quote was meant to be funny. Votes opposing an obviously dramatic quote on the grounds that "it's not funny" will be deleted.
 * Your opinion of the character(s) associated with a quote is NOT relevant to the merits of the quote itself. Featured Character is a separate ballot, so don't shoot the message.
 * "There are better quotes from this story" votes will be deleted because that's irrelevant to the merits of the Quote that actually got nominated. Remember, you can nominate Quotes from other people's stories--so if you think there's a better Quote that's not on the ballot, then why not nominate it yourself?

Theme
For November 1-15, there is no theme, so you may nominate passages from any story.

This Quote was brought to you today by the letter "L"
“But why bother stocking the lake with sharks?” asked Noah, who wasn’t the type to respect effort when a reasonably similar result could be had with less work. “Wouldn’t it have been a lot less labor to just let a luckless leaper live with the likelihood of leaving the land of the living as a light lunch for those allegedly legendarily large Leech Lake lampreys? Oh, silly me, it’s not like they’re actually real, LOL.”

Bart's way to resolve being ugly
"Dude, I wonder who all the hot girls are related to? Wouldn't it be funny if they were all related to fugly chicks?" asks Bart rudely.

"Come on, man, be nice. What if you were a fugly chick? How would that make you feel?" asks Horatio.

"I would get plastic surgery and not have to worry about it anymore." says Bart.

Nancy and Rosa Reunite
The scene cuts to Rosa walking out of the girl’s bathroom looking very relieved. However, her relief is cut short as Nancy cries out, “ROSA!” Before Rosa can even ponder what is going on, Nancy hugs her.

“Oh, it’s you!” Rosa says excitingly.

“I made it, girl!” Nancy squeals. Rosa herself joins in on the squealing.

Monica walks past the two squealing and mutters to Stephanie, “Katie and Sadie again?” Stephanie giggles as the two walk past.

Sprinks and the paintings
So, after the kids packed up for lunch, They walked through the hallway. They saw paintings that some of the older kids did. One boy, Sprinklemist tried to touch one.

“Please, Sprinklemist. Don’t touch, just look.” Said Mrs. Mclean.

“Oh, but, Mrs. MClean!” Sprinklemist whined. “They’re so pretty! And look at how colorful it is!”

“You must try to control yourself.” Mrs. MClean said.
