Currently, I have the S8 Episode Log set up so that people can't reply to a post. BUT, once Ep 21 has aired, I intend to change the settings and announce on the C&S that voting is now open, and ask everyone to go there and choose their favourite episode.

I'll make the voting anonymous, and just ensure that people don't post from the same IP (or whatever that little number code is) more than once.

This way, the voting will be totally fair, and people will be less tempted to vote for their friends episodes.

Nearer the time that the Season is completed, I may even ask AnGeL X to add a link at the top of the C&S board to the S8 Ep Log board, to encourage voting, as well as our exisiting advertising in the Promos, DSN, and Specialist Thread.

So, anyone like/dislike that idea? I just think it's a nice way of involving anyone who's interested in the process.

I'm also considering the alternative of only accepting votes by email to me, so that people don't worry about their vote being criticised.

Feedback, lil' minions? :-)

Yeah that sounds fine to me! I was actually also thinking about maybe suggesting people email to avoid any hurt feelings, so you might want to give that some thought as well. But I love the idea of directing people to the board and really promoting it so that every episode will be there and accessable.

I think this would probably work the best. I just really want as many people who are interested in this to have the chance to participate. Good thinkin', Kash!

I think that one will work the best. Let the people who write the two most popular episodes co write the finale.

I also think we should publish the fic board address when voting starts - not this one, the one that has all the stories on it. This is going to last ages and the later fics will be the ones freshest in people's minds. We'll need to make sure that we remind people of earlier episodes so that everyone has a fair chance, particularly as the two episodes published so far have been truly excellent!

Did I just say "yay" about going back to work? Maybe I'm still sick!
