mod lead on jazzing the vote might attract some interest

You are very right. Thank you.

Give everyone an alert if they haven't voted to tell them they're horrible monsters. That might take some effort, idk how code is formed.

I think they said they can't tell who voted and neither can the site because votes are anon. Otherwise, that would satisfy @Rigor Mortis parental guilt suggestion

Annoying mass DM's but then again you can lead horses to water etc

I know this won't be the norm, as this month's short story contest is an open theme, and there's plenty of enthusiasm for the new site, but jesus christ. We're already at like 30,000 words. I ain't readin' all that

That's too much of a commitment for even a judging system, never mind voluntary voting. I think what I'll do is read the first several paragraphs of each entry and see if I'm sucked in enough to continue. If not, sorry, maybe I'm missing out on a slow burn masterpiece, but them's the breaks.

Good gravy, I hope the intros aren't ALL compelling

I hear you. I've been reading the short stories as they come in so when it's time to vote I'll just have to scan and remind myself of them all before I vote. Currently I have 2 front runners. I haven't read the one that was just posted yet though so who knows.

That’s generally what I do, you’re looking for the best one after all… if it doesnt grab or I lose interest quickly then it’s not likely one I want to vote for.
