Story of the Month Contest - Winners
Hello, lovers of wrestling literature!
Due to the changes to the story of the month contest that we did several months ago, namely choosing the winners by the original Thanks count, rather than voting for them withing a separate timeframe, there really is no need for a separate thread each month. For the last few months the role of a separate topic was to get people to Thank the stories that they like, which wasn't really effective, since the majority of members already thanked the stories they liked by that time, and most stories either didn't get newer Thanks, or got very few. Instead, what I want to do is just compile the list of stories like I did in individual topics, on the tenth day of the following month, which will already be the announcement of winners. DISCLAIMER: this contest is purely an activity of statistical exploration. The amount of Thanks a story receives is indicative of its popularity, not of its merit. So, please don't take it too seriously, and don't feel discouraged if your story doesn't make the top 3 in the month posted. ____________________ Here are the guidelines of the monthly contest: - the winner will be determined by total amount of thanks on the day of the post here (10th day of the next month) - 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 with a link to it 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 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. Here's a list of all individual story contest threads in the past: [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] | [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] __________________________________________________ Story Contest Records: Quality index (thanks per story): Highest: 19.4 ([Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]) Lowest: 5.9 ([Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]) Stories posted: Highest: 34 ([Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]) Lowest: 10 ([Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]) __________________________________________________ Writer Leaderboard:

Story of The Month Winners - May, 2017
Both the mount of submitted stories and voting (Thanking) users were unusually low this month. Maybe, the Summer slow-down started earlier this year? Last year we only felt the decline in July. With that, only 10 stories made the list this month, with an average of 7.3 Thanks per story. We actually set the record this month for the lowest amount of stories ever during one month, and came closest we've ever been to the lowest quality index (5.9 in [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register]). On the bright side, there were are some great stories among submissions! The following are the stories posted to the forum previous month in chronological order. The table is sortable, just click on the column you want to sort by.
