I had a lot of fun with the 2nd annual novelette contest earlier this year. I'm looking forward to participating again, and also to see what everyone else writes!
I'm new to Reddit myself, only coming here after finding their Writing subreddit. I'm very excited about participating and reading the stories of others, but I'm still a bit ignorant when it comes to Reddit. I was hoping you could answer something for me:
It states that the voting will be done in groups for a week for only those who entered. Then it says those winners will be voted on by all entrants.
I may be misreading, but I don't understand the difference between "those who entered" and "all entrants."
Also, how does one vote on these? I had first assumed it was based on the upvote/downvote system in place, but the rules indicate that the voting is limited to entrants which would have to be controlled. So, how can I go about voting and avoid being disqualified?
I just want to make sure I don't fumble my way through this and miss out on the fun.
Thank you in advance.
I think you meant to reply to the top post instead of my comment.
In the previous novelette contest, all entries were divided into groups and then each writer who entered voted for their favorite story in their assigned group via a voting thread. (And if you failed to vote for a story, your story was disqualified from the contest.)
For the second round of voting, everyone who entered the contest read all the top stories from each group and then voted for their favorite amongst those in a second voting thread.
Here are the threads from the previous contest so you can see how that worked:
/u/RyanKinder, please confirm if this is how the voting will work in this contest, or will everyone who entered vote on all stories in the first round by group?
(Edit for clarification.)
You got it right! Thanks for replying. (and /u/MajorParadox as well.)
When the first round of voting starts, all submitted stories are put into groups and each entrant is assigned a voting group. Round 2 consists of the winners of each group from round 1, but everyone from round 1 can vote (instead of just the winners).
Here's round 1 from the last contest for reference. And here's round 2.
Will I get some sort of notification to go read and vote? I am not really understanding and I have no clue where our entries are.
Round 1 is posted: http://www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/3ecemm/modpost_upvoted_contest_voting_round_1_of_2_and/
If you go there you'll see the instructions for voting. Good luck!
