LAS Voting
Hey y'all! We're a few minutes early on the voting but our squirrel is indisposed and I have to go to class so
VOTING STARTS NOW!!! Please read the rules, if in doubt, ask! Absoolutely anyone can vote. The more people vote the better.
Voting ends Friday 20:00 UK time.
1. Unless there is a very good reason not to read a story (if there are warnings for rape, extreme sexual/graphic content, etc), then you must read all stories when voting.
2. ALL stories should be given EQUAL standing, no matter the characters or relationships, etc focused on throughout the story.
3. You may not vote against a story simply because of ...
- its word count (you think it's too short or too long)
- you don't agree/like/etc the relationship written about in the story
- you don't agree/like/etc the character(s) written about in the story
- the story has slash/het and you don't agree with or like slash/het
- the story was an AU or wasn't an AU and you do/don't prefer AUs
- the story was a crossover or wasn't a crossover and you do/don't prefer crossovers
4. You may vote for a winning story because ...
- it was the best written
- uses the prompt in the best and most creative way
5. Encourage your friends to vote is acceptable. Do not encourage your friends to vote for YOUR story, however. If they do, they do. If it’s found out, you were telling people (anyone) to vote for your story you will removed. It is simply unfair, don’t do it.
6. DO NOT, discuss your vote with anyone until after voting has ended. If it is found out that votes were discussed and that either/both parties' votes were biased, or there seems to be some kind of collusion, the votes WILL NOT COUNT. If the author/s of said comments are still writing, they will be removed.
7. You are voting for the BEST story (not necessarily your favorite, but the best written) and the story you think was the LEAST well written (not the one you disliked the most, but least well written). Please ASK or clarify if you don't understand the difference!
8. When you vote, you must give a reason, not just picking which one you thought was best or worst.
9. The following are an example of bad and good voting;
ACCEPTABLE: I vote for [insert story title here] as best story because the characterization of [insert character here] was right on and the dialogue sounded like it came right out of the show.
NOT ACCEPTABLE: I vote for [insert story here] as best story because [insert pairing here] is just the cutest pairing ever!
NOT ACCEPTABLE: I vote for [insert story here] as the worst story because who could possibly think that [insert character here] would pair up with [insert character here]?
Feedback can be as detailed as you like, but must have at least one solid reason for voting the story up or down.
10. Current writers in the current round may vote. You may not vote for yourself at all.
11. Writers who have been removed from the current round are absolutely encouraged to continue voting too!
12. Anyone may vote, including the writers, who may NOT vote for themselves.
13. ALL votes are screened and anonymous - now and forever! I will never tell you who voted which way nor who gave which specific comments.
14. You MUST vote for BOTH Best and Worst, if you submit a vote for only Best, it will NOT be accepted!
IF IN DOUBT, ASK. :)
