"Well, I'm sure you're looking forward to more of me," London said as the camera started rolling once again.

"And if that isn't a good enough reason," Bailey added sarcastically, "our committee finally found their backup copies of the awards nomination."

"I can't begin to tell you how many great awards we have planned," Zack said, grinning excitedly.

"And not just because he can't count that high," his brother added.

"So, when you think about our adventures, what's the first thing to come to mind?" Zack asked the camera.

"That they should be about me?" London asked.

"No!" the rest of the cast yelled.

"That you need to be admitted to a mental institution?" Cody asked.

"No, that's probably the second thing," Zack cut in.

"That you guys are funnier than my brother Ron trying to chase our pig across that frozen lake?" the farm girl suggested.

"Exactly, I think," Zack agreed, nodding. "Anyway, many of you have captured the heart of our adventures through your comical tales."

"The question is, which one is the best?" Cody said.

"Our committee has been hard at work coming up with the answer to this hard decision," Bailey continued.

"And the results are…" Zack announced.

5. Last Moments on the SS Tipton by csiawesomesuitelifelover – Chapter 12

"Wow, those are some interesting circumstances," Zack said, laughing at the various descriptions of events that accompanied the nominations.

"I didn't think they were that good," London huffed.

"Why not, London?" inquired her roommate.

The heiress widened her eyes. "Because they didn't have me in it, duh."

"Did you even read them?"

"Nope."

"Well, ignoring the fact that London has less of an attention span than my brother," Cody pointed out, "there are some other categories to get to."

"In addition to stories that make you feel sorry for the characters, there were those that brought a real smile to your heart," Bailey explained. "These aww moments took a lot of skill to pull off, and will not be easily forgotten."

5. Take Care of Me by Paul Matthews – Chapter 4

"Well now that we've gotten through that sappy stuff," Zack said, with a cringe, "it's time for the dancing bananas."

"I don't remember any of those in the comical scenes," Cody objected.

"Oh, that must have been one of my dreams when Miss T was teaching us about nutrition. Anyway, for the scenes that caused the most laughter." Zack consulted the nominations

"And then there were those stories that came had us laughing from the beginning to the end," Cody announced.

Zack gave a shrug, "Forget about that fancy plot and stuff – just give me something funny, and you win in my book."

"Well some of these authors did that, while others added a larger plot to their comedy stories." Cody took the list of nominations from his brother. "These are the best comedies that have been found."

"Is it just me, or has London disappeared?" Zack asked as he noticed the heiress's lack of trying to claim the limelight.

"Oh, you forgot?" the farm girl asked.

"I was supposed to remember something?"

"Yea, that London was interviewing our first special guest," Bailey reminded him

"Well I guess that means we are done for this segment, so we'll send it over to London." Zack waved a hand toward London, who sashayed back on stage.

"Greetings, people who are poorer than me. I'm here with our first nomination for best Suite Life Author, Elianna22." She turned from the camera and faced her guest. "It's so good to have you here Ellie. Air kiss!"

Ellie flashed a nervous but happy smile and returned the air kisses. "Thanks, London. It's great to meet you in person."

"So, important things first, your outfit is amazing. Please tell the audience where you got that amazing outfit." The heiress gestured at Ellie's dress, a fifties-style silk gown in a stunning shade of burnt orange.

"Why, thank you, London." Ellie pirouetted for the crowd. "My dress is hand-made by Tisiano Gusti, a Toronto designer. He rocks."

After the applause had faded, London proceeded with the interview. "Well, I'm sure all your fans are wondering what inspires you."

"Aside from the Suite Life series, of course, I'm very inspired by movies, other TV shows and songs. I always listen to music while writing and almost every chapter becomes influenced by a particular song. "

"I see, and what made you want to write for the Suite Life fandom?"

"I've been watching the series for a couple of years and all the characters are easy to relate to. I do have a writing partner, known as the Creative Partner/Boyfriend, and one day while watching the "Suite Life Sets Sail" episode, we found ourselves wondering what might have happened if Bailey here hadn't fallen into the hot tub on the first day at Seven Seas High. So we decided to write a story about it."

"Well, with someone like me on the show, I'm sure it's obvious, but who is your favorite character?" London waited expectantly.

The author paused thoughtfully for several moments. At last she answered, "I just can't pick a favourite. I love all you guys. But I do really like writing about you, London. You're quite a complex character."

"I knew it!" London beamed a dazzling smile. "I mean how could someone not like me?"

"It would be impossible," Ellie agreed.

"Your current fic, Repercussions: Part 2, has been described as much darker than your other fics," continued London. "Why did you go with this change?"

"That's a good question," Ellie responded. "I definitely had some doubts about writing a darker story for a change, but the plot felt like a really exciting idea. As soon as I started doing the research, I knew that I couldn't gloss over the deeper emotions and issues related to this story. Most of all I wanted to acknowledge the brave people who join our armed forces."

"Is there anything you can tell us about your future projects?" London asked eagerly.

"I'm trying to work on some one-shots, and possibly another sequel to Just One of the Guys that will take place between Parts 1 and 2 of Repercussions. I'm also collaborating with fellow Suite Life author woundedhearts on an Old West adventure starring the gang."

"Why do you think you have been have been so successful with your fics?

"I like to keep readers guessing," said Ellie, grinning slyly. "I also like to create scenarios where readers feel compassion and sympathy for characters, even if they don't agree with the characters' actions or were expecting something different to happen. It's all about surprising readers."

"Is there any advice you'd be willing to give to the other authors on the site?" London asked then.

"Read as much as you can and keep a thesaurus handy," Ellie answered. "In my experience, creating a story outline is also a big help. And Wikipedia is an awesome research tool."

London shook the author's hand and said, "Thanks you so much for your time, Ellie, and I wish you the best of luck in this contest."
