Note :

• Voting should be done based on one's HONEST opinions & not through MSN requests or PM/VM requests. If you find any such instances, please do report to us.
• Current nomination list is based on the past/present efforts. Fairplay points did not come into picture in this SOTQ because, we had the constraint in previous rule - A story winning one SOTM should not be participating for some 'X' months.

Reminder on How this is going to be evaluated.

1) Voting in poll just counts 50%.
2) Remaining 50% is calculated based on evaluation from panel members which would be,

a) Commitment as a writer ( Points out of 10 ) - This also includes the writers' attitude of taking the readers' comment and improving accordingly.
b) Quality of a story ( points out of 10 ) - This also includes the writers' tendency to take the story in long runs with consistency.
c) Presentation and Other Innovative stuffs ( Points out of 10 ) - Not only the graphics part, but the way writer presents the story to the readers.
d) Story Line ( points out of 20 ) - Bottom line of every story.

Note for Story Panel Members - Treva, User2010, Shantanu

So Panel members, be ready. Please PM me the evaluation of stories within the voting period. If stories from panel members are present in the list, corresponding panel member can skip the self evaluation i.e. Other two will take care of the evalauation.

 

[Prithvi]

My vote always goes to Shan!
I even voted him in SOTM, and even I vote him here.

 

[Highlander999]

I have an urge to bring back my Three Lions story for some reason. Reckon it must be due to the English County season starting again.

 

[treva]

Well there's a surprise...

 

[Prithvi]

One quick suggestion. Get in yourself or Tom as a Panel Member!

You both are Gods of this section!

 

[treva]

I am already. See the list

 

[Gaurav_7]

[Aditya]

I was confused about which story i should select to vote Treva's or User2010's. Finally decided to go for User2010's story. Nice selection for panel members there Surendar.

 

[Highlander999]

It's Suren's call at the end of the day, I am not as active as I once was, so don't mind newer more active members playing a bigger role. Of course I am always happy to share my years of experience

Well there's a surprise...

I know :o I just got fed up last time as I was writing it when we were plagued with Indian members just commenting crap on each other's stories, things look better now

 

[Aditya]

Activeness doesn't matter. We need members who vote fairly and i guess Highlander can be a good choice for being a panel member,4 members as panel members i guess will be fine.

 

[Covvy]

Geez, I better start doing some more updates.

 

[MaD]

Covvy, if you updated yours, atleast once a week... bam!
Had to vote for User's best presentation, best writing, best commitment, most updated, what else we need?

 

[Aditya]

3 votes. Not at all expected,anyways it would be either User2010 or Treva who will win.
