A last minute preview.
And, I'm thinking of changing up the rules slightly. My goal has always been to showcase those stories, and by extension those writers, who we particularly enjoy and want to give some kudos to. It's never been about 'the' best one. Hence, I had last month's general story contest be about the four best stories, with everyone getting four votes. That number was arbitrary. Now I think I'm going to apply a formula, which is one vote and winner per ten stories received (but with a minimum of 1 in all cases). So, with currently 53 stories eligible, there will be 5 winners, and everyone votes for their top 5. This month has a particularly active collection of eligible new authors, with 25 stories so far, so there will be 2 votes per voter, and the top 2 will be the winners. And should a flurry of last minute entries arrive in the next 12 hours 45 minutes, these numbers can be increased.
So, for chuckles, here's a snapshot of where we stand on the last day of open submissions. Please feel free to point out errors.
