Decision

Thanks so much for all your input, folks.

Having slept on it, and after considering your thoughts, I've decided to just go back to

Comments

Of course you can lurk. But why can't you vote?

I like this plan. I am behind this plan. I think this is a great plan. I was wondering, though, if it was okay to give comments on stories that you are neither voting 'off the island' nor singling out as your favorite. Is that acceptable as well, or to make it easier to compile in the information, should I just stick with my least favorite three and my most favorite one?

[slodwick]

I don't have any problem with it; however, I'm not going to reveal the specific comments unless the author herself asks for them, and I hadn't planned to go back and attach names to the anonymous stories after the voting, so... I'm not sure if/how your comments would reach the intended author.

[wickedwords]

No worries then! I'll just do the favorite/least favorite thing.

I think peple might find it hard to give concrete reasons why they dislike something. I sure would. Perhaps they can justify if they are comfortbale with it, since I feel you'll lose voters and they are already sparse.

Because I'm paranoid and everything - I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss the latest challenge? Thanks.

[slodwick]

Nope. Because of the issues we had with voting, I'm not issuing the new challenge until this Friday, and then giving you guys until the following weekend to finish it. We'll basically be one week behind, but after that, we'll be back on track! *g*

Hey, no sweat. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed the announcement of doom / new challenge / etc. You're a saint for organizing this whole mess.

Seconds the saint hood. :)
