Trophy Story of the month for December, 2016

Good day, Forum!

It's time for the monthly story contest! Well, actually, we are 10 days late. Sorry, guys, had lots of work lately.

Surprisingly, this month was one of the least active ones for the Stories section. We have only 12 stories this month, which is the lowest ever since the start of the contests (tying with [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]). The quality index is also considerably low, despite the fact that there were 10 more days for Thanks.

If you haven't done so yet, please go and thank your favorite stories among those posted at the forum in December, 2016. Check out the table below for reference.

NOTE: I would like to ask you to read at least several of the participating stories and thank the ones you like, in order to be fair to the authors. Please thank ALL the stories that you enjoyed, just as you would normally do, not just the one you want to see as the winner. This way the winner of the contest will be determined more naturally.

Stories in this month's poll: 12 (9)
Quality index (thanks per story): 7.5 (2.6)

The guidelines of the monthly contest:

- the contest for a particular month starts on the first week of the following month and closes 10 days later, giving 10 full days to readers to thank the stories they haven't thanked yet
- the winner will be determined by total amount of thanks upon poll closure
- in order to be eligible for the contest, (1) the story needs to be posted in its entirety at the forum, and not on an external page and only linked to through the forum or as an attachment, (2) it needs to be at least 600 words AND 3000 characters long, and (3) has to receive at least 3 thanks by the time of the contest start
- each author (poster) can be represented no more than twice in one contest; in case a user has posted more than two stories within the previous month, the two most popular posts of his / her will be chosen based on the amount of thanks each story has received
- each ongoing series can be represented in no more than two monthly contests
- if equal amount of thanks are received by the end of contest by any two or more stories contesting for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, the winner will be the story that was posted later and had less total days to accumulate thanks

-------------------------------------------

The following are the nominees in chronological order. The table is sortable, just click on the column you want to sort by.

When thanking a story, along with literary qualities, originality, and your personal taste, I suggest considering exclusiveness of a story an important factor in your voting decision. I think the fact that some authors publish their stories for the first time on this forum should be celebrated. For this to work well I would like to ask the authors that post exclusive content to include a relevant note at the beginning of their posts.

Feel free to let other members know in reply which story is your favorite and why.

Thanks! Fixed!

Also, just realized I added a story by MBP from 2 years ago by mistake. Removed & recalculated the index.

Oh, yeah, about December being the least active story month (just 12 stories without many Thank you's): I wanted to finish and publish my story "Who is the boss in the house?" on the 31th of December in 2016 so my story could participate in the December-poll of the story of the month, but I fell asleep and awoke when we started to eat оливье all together, watched the new year's speech of Vladimir Putin and then started to watch the fireworks, so I was late. Then I thought: "Well... that would be January, then".

Really a missed opportunity, given the fact that I didn't have much competition that month. :-(

Sounds familiar! Оливье and Putin go unexpectedly well together

I apologize if I am asking a question already addressed but I couldn't find reference to it.

Is the Story of the Month contest pertaining to stories that are fictional, real or either?

I would love to contribute real ones but don't feel I could compete with the creativity and power of someone's imagination

thanks

Hi, poochie! True or fictional, any story published in full that is over 600 words in the Stories section will partake in the contest as long as it receives at least 3 thanks before the start of the contest (which is usually the first week of the following month).

If it is a true event, you might also consider posting it in the Discussions subforum. If it is a session review, it best fits in the Session Reviews subforum. However, true events told in the format of a story sure belongs in the current subforum.
