Thank you to every one who has voted. Voting is now closed and the results will be posted shortly.
This is the voting post for round one challenge one.
Voting is open until 9pm UK/4pm EST on Thursday the 17th of May - six days from now.
Anybody can vote - you don't have to be a writer. Writers you don't have to vote, although it would be good if you did.
As I'm running the comm. I am not voting, not even if there's a tie, as I know who wrote what and it wouldn't be fair.
Writers please don't vote for your own story either to win or to vote out, and please don't tell people which one is your story and ask them to vote for it. Letting people know that there are stories here to vote on (without saying which is your) is good though.
How to vote.
Please leave a comment (they are screened) below with the name/number of the entry you liked the best, and the one that you liked the least. Please give a reason, however brief as to why you've chosen as you have.
So it would looks something like:
Story to win: Story X. It was such a unique take on the prompt, and their characterisation of Janet the Weevil was spot on.
Story to vote out: Story Y. It was an interesting idea, but there seemed to be no kind of conclusion to it.
Please read all the stories if you can before voting. If there is a reason why you can't read a story/stories such as triggering content (stories will carry warnings if this is present) that is fine, just read the stories you're able to.
Please remember that the writer of the story will see what you've written - (Although not who wrote it, as feedback will be email/pm'ed to them, minus the voters name.)
Please don't give a story a negative vote for reasons such as: It's got Owen as a main character and you don't like Owen. It's set during Miracle Day. Or it's a Jack/Gwen story.
Good reasons for a negative vote: This story didn't use the prompts. The story was confusing and felt unfinished.
Positive votes are easier, as generally we're more comfortable about telling people the things we like about something, but please don't give positive votes based solely on pairings, such as, 'I voted for story 3 for best because it's the only Jack/Ianto fic this round'.
round 1-1,
