Apparently I squeezed right into the last moment. Wasn't sure with the obsession over the other contest (that I wasn't planning on doing when this started). But, they can do polls here, you just need admin rights or something. Going to go with multiple votes like the PGC contest? Say 10% of the total entries?

[William Broom]

Something like that. Except 10% would be exactly 1.5. I guess I'll round it up.

Also, Xion, your story is a teensy bit too long by my count (25 words). Could you cut it down to 1,000?

I would recommend against dumping everything into 1 giant posting. Even if it's technically possible, I believe it would make things harder to read (too much scrolling).

2 Ideas:

1. (Easy) Have the first TIGSource forum posting link to each story:
Earthblades Don't Mourn for Burnmules by Keith Nemitz
Steampunk by Inventrix

2. (Harder) Create a website with a page for each story, and a left navigation that switches between them.
The first TIGSource forum posting will have a link to each story on this website.

Regardless, a complete list of links to each story is required so voters have an easy overview of their choices. Makes it easier to remember and compare the stories.

I think this is a good idea and wouldn't be hard if you used one of the free blog sites.

Or if you want some relatively temporary space, I have the bandwidth from my ISP (got to use that 12 TB/month bandwidth somehow). I could even through up a simple wiki (dokuwiki probably) tonight, if you needed, or if someone wanted to create the site and just give me the HTML.

I can set something like that up on TIGSource.  Let me know, chutup!  If you make the poll, I can link to it from that page.

[William Broom]

I think that would be quite a fine idea, Derek. What would you like me to do to help accomplish this?

earlier in the compo
i was imagining a strange website called
blankpunk. (hostingsite).com
where tigsource writers wrote
and assigned tags
to create a #####punk collection on the internet
 

edit:

http://blankpunk.blogspot.com/
Would anyone like to form an internet #### writers group? I can send invites so we can all post.. we could work to say, post one or two stories a week.. any PUNK.
And.. adsense for profit sharing? (eek)
 

edit2:

chutup you should write some elephant punk 

[William Broom]

What? Why elephant punk?

I am writing a sort-of magicpunk story right now though.

[Renton]

I'd like to be in the said group when formed.

[Pacian]

I'd be happy to contribute, when I don't have like ten projects on the go and eyestrain.

PM me e-mail addresses! Let's get this rolling!

Might work slightly better as a limited editor wiki instead of a blog. Just because its easier to make indexes for wikis than blogs.
