The August Writing Poll

[mauvais]

I want to know where my 'no' point is

I hope it's still in the title.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I take it Jefe is refraining from commenting in case we all commit mass suicide?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I'm beginning to think nobody's actually voting in this except the actual people participating

 

[Belushi]

It's gonna take people time to read all the stories!

 

[London_Calling]

I think it is a good thing that people are giving it a go

Yep. And it's also a good thing people are willing to support the idea by reading and voting. The concept doesn't work without both contributions. Even if there is an awful lot to read.

Also, it's a process; the next ones should see progress.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

*Goes off to bribe some people to vote for his story*

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Bump

 

[SpookyFrank]

Bump again. There's a day and a bit left to read and vote if you haven't already.

Thanks to everyone who's taken the time to read all the entries btw

 

[Clair De Lune]

Ooh shit, only read half, will try to get through the rest today and vote

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Well I'm very pleased about a certain result

 

[xenon]

I can only pick one? 3 stood out for me. Mainly because they had a closed narative. Start, middle, conclusion. All the pieces were worth reading though. If you're reading this thread but not the stories yet, do it.

Good work people. Now I have to choose...

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I do think not enough people have participated in this reading-wise. There are various Urbz whose input I'd like but who haven't given it...

 

[Bassism]

Sorry for the lack of interest xx Reading now and tonight if thats any use to you lot

 

[DotCommunist]

Is it to late for me to vote?

I been away and have ost track of dates...

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Nope still time to vote...

There'll probably be more interest later in the year. Right now people are out enjoying the sunshine. At least it's not just the writers voting.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

True. Once people are back at work in September there will probably be more interest August was always going to be a quiet month. It's nice to have so many participants with, iIRC, nobody who took part last month and not this

 

[Diamond]

Right, made my choice. I just liked the unity of the story.

 

[Belushi]

Okay, just realised that thanks to my poor poll setting skills voting closes at 19.57 rather than midnight tonight. Good luck everyone!

 

[DotCommunist]

I'm not going to vote for Authenticity Trashed- It's too silly. But it did make me lol a lot

Half a pound of tupenny light- It was entertaining but a bit too stream-of-consciousness for my taste. As Roy Walker once said 'It's good but it's not right', at least not for me.

 

[mauvais]

What happens if it's a tie?

 

[DotCommunist]

the universe implodes.

 

[mauvais]

Death to everyone! Yippee!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

If it's a tie then the first person to PM me out of the two tied leaders gets to choose the topic for next month

 

[mauvais]

Not a cordial detente and amicable sharing of the spoils! We need a single bloodied victor! DEATH DEATH DEATH!

 

[DotCommunist]

We all know what your choice of theme would be...

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Not a cordial detente and amicable sharing of the spoils! We need a single bloodied victor! DEATH DEATH DEATH!

Well the two victors can duke it out on Mation's plinth and then the winner can PM me

 

[mauvais]

We all know what your choice of theme would be...

HADN'T even occured to me

 

[Diamond]

Could we not involve some sort of Russian roulette?

 

[Belushi]

Remember the poll closes at 19.57 all you last minute voters!
