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 60 words or less. Quotes with no paragraph breaks or speaker changes may be up to 75 words. "Near-miss" Quotes that exceed these limits 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 undestandable outside the context of the story, except as noted below.
 * 12) Quotes must be formatted exactly as they are in the story. 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.

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.

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 [confessional]: "I think that's the meanest thing she's done all season."

(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)
 * 2) This is kind of an odd reason to oppose, but I kind of feel as though the original quote was advertising Adventure Time, and now that it's shortened it's kind of insulting it.

Team Webly is Amazing Meeting
“I thought Team Webly is Amazing would mean we’d have an advantage in most things,” Richard says with a small frown.

Ben smiles villainously once again and says, “That’s another thing I sued for. The team I would be placed on would suffer the wrath of Ben.”

“Gee, what a nice person.” Belle says sarcastically. She brings out a book.
