Firestar sat on his Lazy-boy, reading his favorite magazine- Moral Cats Digest. Sandstorm sat on the sofa knitting baby blankets for Squirrelflight's soon-to-be-born kits. The TV was on quietly in the background, tuned to ClanTV News.
"What color blankets should I make?" Sandstorm asked. "I already made a yellow one, but since I don't know if Squirrelflight's having toms or she-cats I don't want to make pink or purple ones. She might have all toms!"
"Make the blankets whatever colors you want," Firestar mewed, barely paying attention. "If she has toms, just donate the girly blankets to Ferncloud and Daisy's Home for Orphaned Kits. Besides, odds are she'll have at least one she-cat."
Sandstorm shrugged, grabbing a roll of green yarn. "Lionblaze had all she-cats. Squirrelflight might have all toms."
Her mate shrugged, absorbed in an interesting article about Sunstar. "Whatever. Just do what you want."
The news went to a commercial break, and the increased volume of the ads distracted the couple from their activities. A ginger face plastered their screen.
"Bonjour, les chats!" Tansy meowed cheerily. "How y'all doin'? Yeah, I speak French and hillbilly! Aren't I talented? Anyway, I am so pleased to announce that now eight categories for the award show have been filled! I still need one story for the Tragedy/Hurt category, so please submit one if you haven't yet! I've also noticed that the canon, protagonist, and villain categories are struggling, so I've changed the rules for those three. From now on, the canon category is for the books in the actual series that either get a bad reputation or are less popular than others. For example, Into the Wild would not be acceptable for that category, but a book like Dark River or Code of the Clans would be. As for the protagonist and villain categories, those are now for canon characters that were not one or the other, but might make a good one. These are supporting characters that are rather underrated, don't get much time on paper, or simply would have made a decent protagonist or villain. So cats like Rainwhisker or Rainflower could be submitted. I think these changes will make this easier for you and for me, so please submit cats and books for those categories! In addition, I'd like to thank everyone who's voted for host already. We already have a three-way tie! Anyway, you have until this Wednesday to get your votes in! I know who I would vote for if I could. In addition, if you are just really passionate about a certain character hosting, you can vote more than once. If you just really, really, really want Mousefur or Icecloud or whoever to host, go ahead and vote a couple times. That's fine. Happy voting!"
Firestar closed his magazine, admiring the cover photo of Cinderpelt. "So can I submit Twilight? I think I was rather handsome and moral in that book."
"I guess you could," Sandstorm replied, "but only if I can submit myself for up-and-coming protagonist!"
