Well, I have been investigating on the votes casted during SOTQ contest silently. It's very disappointing to say that Gorro has advertised his story to some members for the SOTQ contest. Very disappointing indeed from a writer/reader point of view.
As a result, I am subtracting 10 points from his evaluation. He has lost his PM rights. Also, wanted to take away his story's participation in next 3 SOTMs, but considering the thing that this writer is a beginner, we are giving another chance for him to learn and improve.
Final Results ( After this adjustment )
This sums up to ( with votes ),
Aditya - 41
Hedger - 39
Chewie - 38
Gorro - 33
General Message to Writers,
- If story has a good base i.e. storyline, it doesn't require any advertisement.
- These contests are just for fun, and hence it should not be taken so seriously. These tag titles are not going to get appended next to your name like your educational qualification in real life. Some members need to realize this.
- As a writer, we should just focus on two things - self satisfaction for the efforts we put in, & the general satisfaction when the readers like it. I am sure that first one will automatically lead to the second.
