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

With the voting thing...

Most people will just read the ones of the most commonly known TSRians or their friend and vote for them. Leaving all the lesser known guys out. Especially with exam time, people won't be able to read EVERYONE's story.

We've been finding that all of the stories have been getting views, and we aren't doing our voting based on the rep the stories get due to favouritism :smile:

No voting is completely perfect but it's the best we can do
