@jak7139 , not to say that @filcat is undeserving, but per the guidelines, we shoot for six months or so between nods, which their last nomination was just inside of that.

Well, that's my bad on two counts then. The early nomination and nominating someone who wasn't even eligible. Sorry on that :(. This thread was so long, I didn't even think of checking the rules on the first post. Hopefully I haven't messed everything up.

Also thanks to @37th Armoured div, @Midnite Duke, @Idhrendur, @Nikolai, @Wraith11B, and @RustyHunter

[Sincere apologies for the late reply to the previous winner; this is posted as a remedy-apology for the belated congratulation]

@GarfunkeL
CLAIM YOUR FAN TODAY!
Well, I'll be damned
Here comes the award again
But that's not unusual
It's just that the moon is full
And @GarfunkeL happened to win
And here I’m late
Hand on the keyboard
Reading the words
I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Heading straight for a joy

As I remember those comments
Were bluer than sky’s ends
My poetry was lousy all said
Where are these written from?
A server in the mid-web
Ten years ago
I should have brought all kudos
But now one is the fan of the week

We all know what comments can bring
They bring carbuncles and congrat's. [*]


[*] Appropriated butchered from Diamonds & Rust of the album with the same name (1975) by Joan Baez
What, of course the obvious reference for GarfunkeL has to be the gemstone red garnet almandine Fe3Al2Si3O12 (a carbuncle, Latin carbunculus, Spanish carbunculo, German karfunkel, Yiddish gorfinkl), not the duo.
Edit: Added the etymological explanation of the word. Corrected a font mistake.

[Chorus]

Hit the road jak7139, and enjoy for seven days more

What'd you say?

Hit the road jak7139, and don't you be sad

No more, no more, no more, no more

Hit the road jak7139, and don't you want’ cheer for more?


[Verse]
O writAAR o writAAR, oh your comments are so fun

[Chorus]

@jak7139 : Any inspiration for a new fan of the week? I know you decided on @filcat right when you were nominated, but it's only been three months since his last nomination, so you either pick someone else or you leave it to the community. Check the list in the first post so you know he's won in the last six months.

Can I still congratulate @filcat for his maybe success until we get a better nomination
No, best we don't encourage him. We've seen what he does normally, I'd dread to think what he would do if encouraged. ;)

@jak7139, posting just to dissolve the mist in the situation, despite knowing that it has been clarified by the others and concurred by you;

Cheers for your consideration but cannot accept it, and have to respectfully decline. It would be unfair because it has been only three months since the last time winning, and as the moderator has elegantly suggested, there are hundreds of wonderful writAARs, who have not been nominated yet if not lately, but posting amazing comments, thus deserving kudos for their passion.

Looking forward to your choice of the fan of the week.

Cheers for the consideration, but let the new winner shall take the congratulations.

No, best we don't encourage him. We've seen what he does normally, I'd dread to think what he would do if encouraged.
Have no worries; knowing when to stop.
