Elle says "Matt, the official rules say that you can't win an award you sponsor."

Elle says "RavenAmor - nope, those will be next week."

Schnujo's Giving Away GPs says "I enjoyed this. Thanks!"

RavenAmor says "Thank you!!!"

Matt Bird MSci (Hons) AMRSC says "OK. I'll think about which to sponsor. I might just go Fantasy. The FSFS has won a fair few awards before, and I don't think 3 Prompts will win Best Fantasy anyway. I'll send the GPs over once I've decided"

Christopher Roy Denton says "Good night, y'all! "

Elle says "Hawaiian and Maori are both Polynesian languages, so makes sense they're similar."

Schnujo's Giving Away GPs says "I didn't think about that, Elle."
