Once a year, WRITERS has a tongue-in-cheek vote, electing
various notorious and not-so-notorious list members to
certain categories based upon their demonstrated behaviors
over the past year.  Some of those categories were named
in my previous post.  Others include Best Flamer, Best All-
Round List Member, Favorite Poet, List Mommie (I've won for
three years running now!), List Conservative, List Sicko,
Most Likely to be Published, Most Personalities, Most Romantic
Who You Would Most Like to Babysit Your Kids, and Who You
Would Most Like to Babysit Your Kids... each category of
which Barbara Harris has either won or was nominated.

The vote will be coming up very soon, kids, so think about
who you might like to elect to any of the named categories,
plus more which I will post soon!  New categories are always
welcome for consideration, as are write-in's during the
actual voting period.

For those interested, I have the results of last year's
poll to be sent privately if you would like to see what
happened with the 1997 EmJays.

--MJ, winner of the 1997 EmJays "Best Contest Organizer,"
  "List Mommie," and "Who (female) You Wouldn't Kick Out Of Bed"
