How do we vote :flute:

You basically vote for your favourite ones, and the ones that have the most votes (I don't know how many), then go to a judging panel. So the one with the most votes in the poll coming up isn't necessarily the winner.

Check back after 22nd April, where you can vote for your favourite stories before the top ones go to our judging panel!

Yep - so we can make sure the competition isn't just a popularity contest we'll be taking the top 10 that are voted for and a panel will be deciding the winners from them :smile:

Are we allowed to plug the survey into our stories and ask for votes, or is that akin to rep whoring?

I think you should do this because everyone in your thread clearly appreciated this story a lot.

I actually re read it at the weekend and saw a lot in it I hadn't initially seen. It's really beautiful and poignant.

It's fine to put a link to the voting in your story (probably encouraged, if it gets more people to see the voting link), just make sure you don't say anything like 'if you vote for me I'll give you rep' or 'if you vote for my story I'll vote for yours' :h:
