Olympics Voting Officially Open!

[mikkeneko]

I'm proud to call a close to the posting week of the second Kuro/Fai Olympics, Canon Vs. AU. The writing is over; the voting begins!

Voting for the Spring Olympics will remain open until Friday, May 11th; as per several people's requests, I have extended the deadline another week.

In response to several peoples' queries, voting WILL be opened to anonymous voters, even those who do not have LiveJournal or Dreamwidth accounts. The only requirement is that when voting, you identify yourself by linking to a fandom-related tumblr, FanFiction.net account, Archive of Our Own page, blog, et cetera. IP tracking will also be turned on to prevent any double-voting.

There's an Official Voter's Code, too!

- If you vote on one team's story for a particular day, try to make time to read and vote for the other team's story too, just to keep the numbers even.

- The voting is out of 10 points. If you're not sure how to award points, you might consider this handy-dandy metric for guidance:

1) How well did the story suit the prompt?
2a) How "original" was the story? (for Canon team, and)
2b) How "in-character" was the story? (for AU team)
And last but not least,
3) How much did I enjoy the story overall?

- You don't have to choose one story to "win" over the other! If you think they're both 10s, you can say so!

- Be honest with your votes. You don't have to give all 10s to everyone just to be nice. Remember -- everybody's scores will be averaged at the end.


Remember we need readers and voters as much as writers to make the Olympics succeed. So come on and do your thing!

I really have a lot going on this week(end) and I'd appreciate a bit more time to read the last few stories (and actually vote on the ones I've read already). Maybe till the 10th?^^°
