Can we try it for a month

D9ty7:

I couldn't have said it any better. Aside creating awareness, voters will always be voters. I remember early this year, I went from thread to thread, explained the voting procedures i.e vote for one writer as the best newcomer. Vote three as the writer(s) of the month. People still voted for one person on each category. Some even voted in one category. I think the cause of this is simply the fact that readers have preference. The same way booklovers will always read John Grisham books and turn blind eyes to Hadley Chase books. Readers in this section have one or two writers they like and they will never check other writers out. That's the main problem. But April will be a lot better.
But seriously, Aunty you are selfish o. Kilode! You alone 71 votes, you can't even give out about 20 votes to the writer that came second. In my own opinion, I think you came 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th... As a matter of fact, you also took the last position.
Congrats once again.

u know of register or log in to read those ones we know but u can help by suggesting new comers/stories

I guess we can. but you know that means extra work for both you and I and maybe any other concerned persons.

and please ping me on your selection, I hope you catch my drift?

if I get ur question correctly, I think its better for readers to go on the mother board every once in a while to check out new additions, its actually accessible to everyone either registered or not. Every one has their preferred genre and suggestions by others might not fully satiate that taste.

princesa:

lol, indeed it might.

But on a serious note, I was actually thinking along that line but thought it might come out too harsh. Now that you've mentioned it, i guess its a possibility.

@d9ty7 and Divepen1, @all
please tell me what you both think

I think it is a bad idea. I dnt have any idea on how to go about it though but then alot of ppl wont grace this thread wen u do d@.
For instance, i read cand.y's story,jezu.zboi story(his debut) and sum oda stories but den d only person worth votin for was cand.y. Blv me, several ppl r too busy to read more dan a story in a month. D9ty7, r u eligible to b voted for? Cuz i want to blv u r among d likes of audrey who shldnt for voted for.

whoa this is another aspect to it.

What if we make compulsory that a voter must vote someone from the two categories and not just from one as we see now?

Since you said its not compulsory to go for more than one, then atleast the voter will be compelled to go through the upcoming writers works to see who he or she feels is more deserving of his, or her vote

We are just trying to make the voting pattern fair on everyone.

princesa:

okay. reply my pm

I can't find any

Divepen1:

You know the drill na, ping me with the info

Sounds fair enough. I think the writers still need to put this link on their threads. But like Kenwins said, most people don't get to read more than one story a month.

I also think a newcomer can be nominated another month if he/she does not win and is still writing his/her story. Just MO.

Btw, princesa...we still waiting for the windfall for March o! @bukkylizzy

In addition to what candy has mentioned,I think writer (upcoming writer),should be nominated twice,that is if they are still writing the story.

Just my opinion

I know, I've sent the account details across, don't worry, you'll receive it soonest.

And I guess you and kitnah are right, Upcoming writers are eligible for re-nomination if they didn't win in their first outing.

The deal however is that, I don't single handedly make the pick, so choices differ. But there are no rules against re-nomination so that too can go.

The nominees for the upcoming writer awards category are:

Kizzykeziah
Kitnah
jezuzboi
****

Please, voters are expected to cast their nominations from both category and not a category alone.

Failure to comply will make for disqualification of vote.

Thank you all, voting has from now commenced.

Wow!!!

This is damn suprising

Win or no win?? It sure means a lot

Wow, I didn't really expect a nomination now and it really means a whole lot to me.

Larry is just one of the few greatest writers that I respect. I don't knw why he hasn't won this prize before. Even d9ty7, the amateur won the prize in september 2014.
