hey this is an entry from my friend and I ...
We're 5 chapters in, and more coming!! So go on, read it, & votes would be much appreciated =]

A little extract:

'Something gave the door a shove and I stumbled backwards, hardly expecting the bang that followed it as the doorknob hit the wall.

I can't be alone.

In the darkness, I practically launched myself to my feet, jumping a foot in the air, maybe two, as I turned toward the door. Without another sound, it had shut once again. It was closed, the door locked.

I am so not alone.'

Hope you enjoy! =D

Hi folks,

I've gotten some feedback from a couple of contest participants and I just want to make sure that people aren't rating others unfairly in hopes of winning the competition. Here's my feedback to one participant who was concerned that they received a whack of negative votes on an entry that was otherwise solid:

I'll take a look at the ratings once the contest is done and I'll see if anyone went and posted a bunch of low ratings again. Again, unless it's really blatant (i.e. the same person rating everyone poorly across the board) I can't interfere in the ratings much, as everyone else participating is subject to the same situation as you. What I'd suggest is that you try and promote your story to your fans and to people who you think could counteract those ratings... unfortunately this is the internet and even partial anonymity leads to some negative behaviour in folks.

If anyone is unfairly voting down others' entries in hopes of boosting their own entry, I would hope you realize that I can easily see who's rated what. :)

Please try and rate fairly because voting down others for no good reason is about as close to cheating as you can get without voting for your own entry.

Thanks,
-nick

Hey, I posted my story last night, http://www.protagonize.com/story/a-horror-confession Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

p.s. Nick, thank you for mentioning the rating issue, I hope it isn't like you have stated in my case because I would dislike it extremely if someone was capable of doing that.

re: rating others down

Please God, no.

That'd be so lame.

(and I've yet to read all these!)

Sorry, @Phoenix.Wolf - the contest closed at midnight on Halloween! You'll have to enter the next one. :(

Winners are to be announced soon... just waiting for a couple of votes.

Sorry about the delay in getting those winners' badges out, folks. I've got them ready to go, just needed to get last night's site update deployed before I could plug them in. Should be up later tonight, barring problems.

They look awesome, for what it's worth. ;)

Cheers,
