	Silver Book Awarded Mon Aug 12th, 2019 @ 3:02pm	For the post "Coming Home and Other Huge Mistakes." Once again I find myself compelled to put my best friend and her seemingly infinite talents over. We've had some serious jackasses appear in our adventures: Lovejoy, Holt, Albright, and now Ricky Justice. Nothing is so satisfying as watching one of them get their comeuppance and Gabby's duo of Gallia and Sami owned the arrogant little shit. A joy to read.
	Non Player Character Award Awarded Mon Aug 12th, 2019 @ 3:02pm	For the character of Baby Tayalas. Not only is our little Blueberry adorable as the semi-official mascot of the Elysium, getting to share her milestones as she grows is just awesome for the entire Elysium family who fall in love with her more with every new word she learns. I'm also pretty sure she was screwing with Gallia the entire time, lol. This character totally deserves recognition and Gabby for creating and playing her well in spite of how hard it is to make an infant character rich and well developed. SANA!!!
	Good Conduct Medal Awarded Tue Aug 27th, 2019 @ 8:45am Nominated by Lieutenant S'hib	Gabby has been exceptionally kind towards me out of character, and made me feel very welcome amongst the crew. I doubt myself a lot especially when it comes to my hobbies and things I genuinely try hard at, But regardless Gabby made me feel proud as a writer and I don't know how else to thank her -S'hib

	Collaborative Post Excellence Awarded Mon Apr 20th, 2020 @ 7:56pm	For "Swim with the Duckies," a lovely post that would not have been possible without Gabby's soulful writing of the Elysium's fave mother/daughter duo. They make something as mundane and every day as a swimming lesson into a beautiful study on the nature of love and family. So thrilled to have both of the writers of this post here as members of the Elysium family.
