Pick your favorite story again
I'm re-diong this, as a couple people pointed out the flaw in the previous thread: only one vote per person. I think for something like this, checkboxes are in order.

I still think the story contest needs to be re-created.

I don't know how you were thinking of getting cookies...

And, yes, this is better then nothing, but I'm hoping it will turn into a full-fledged contest.

It might be a good idea to have another poll with just the top four or five vote getters.

Cookies would be nice, too.

Thats a good idea about the second poll. I'll wait a couple days, and do that. Cookies are a good idea. Someone needs to cook some up, and then send them to me.

That makes me feel smart.

I guess its just that good of a story. I can';t take it out of the poll, and I don't want to start a new one just yet, so it stays. But thanks for pointing that out.

steelehc I see that my story has been entered into the weekly story contest, the only thing is that I am not done with the story and wanted to wait untill I was finished with it before I entered it into the story contest. I am going to add anther part to the story very soon just wanted to let you know.

Thanks

Hey! None of my stories even made the first cut. Should I resubmit, or were they that bad?

Bassman: Don't bother resubmitting your stories, I can still see them. For this poll, I chose the 16 stories on the top of the list, pretty much in order. I am trying to get the story contest brought back, though, and if/when that happens, there will be nominations, and if you want your story in the contest, simply nominate it when that thread is started.

please put bassman in, if you can. His stories are pretty good and definitely on par with, if not better than, some that are listed in the poll so far.

Reichelieu: Thanks for your comment. No, Mark never did get back to me, but I'm hoping he will soon.

Re: Bassman, I merely took the first 16 stories in the forum, and put them into this poll. What I'm going to do is to create a new thread asking for nominations, and put the first 16 nominations into a new poll, and have that be the definitive "contest." Hopefully, by the time that is resolved, the discount at the Apolyton Store could be re-instated as the prize.
