“It would only be necessary for a writer to secure universal popularity if imagination and intelligence were equally distributed among all men.” — W.H. Auden [...] I find all of this rather superficial and hollow. This merely confirms and, sadly, further perpetuates the pitiful and insidiously vile practice that seems de rigueur in this post-postmodern epoch. And that is none other than the cruel imposition of a more superior valuation on popularity and fad than on quality and ingenuity. Popularity should never be the yardstick in arbitrating any piece of literature, and it most certainly should not be the benchmark in any of the facets of human endeavour. In following this popularity trend is the also the major reason why the Nigerian music industry is an eyesore... or an earsore if you will. To prove how misleading and irresponsible it could be to arbitrate based on how popular something or someone is, I'd like to squeeze in an analogy. –Now, imagine the painting of Michel Angelo's “The Last Judgement” were to somehow be scrapped off the walls of the Sistine Chapel so as to be put on public display for a crowd teeming with a hundred illiterate Danfo drivers and only two lettered Sunday historians. The odds are that the vast majority of that ensemble would be unable to apprehend and appreciate the emotive and artistic fathoms of the said painting. So, can we then in all clear conscience pontificate that because the unschooled demographic of Danfo drivers are/were incapable of recognising and appreciating a brilliant work of art (or literature as the case may be), that it goes a long way in undermining the artistic/literary integrity of the painting/writing in question? I most certainly do not believe so. [...] Quality, not popularity, must always serve as the quantification metric in all spheres of life. And that is why I am nominating “Skarlett”. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Some have stated that popularity does not necessarily mean quality. They may be right. However, this does not mean that popularity should be ignored. Front page worthiness is dependent on the moderator, which is a bit subjective. Points should not be awarded for this. The individual stories should be rated first, then attributed to the author. Otherwise, author A may write twenty wack stories and accumulate 7,500 points whereas author B may write one bestselling novel and get 6,500 points. |

ksstroud: Why must what I do be in relation to someone else? Can't i just want to do something because of my creativity and not to outsmart someone? Why do I get the idea you love competitions? And that winning matters more to you than achieving? Forget friend, I have no interest in a life that must strive to be better than another. |
