ANNOUNCING FANFICTION POLL 6.7!!!
I have no problem with Jang Choe running a best anime fanfic contest.
In fact I've decided to run six major polls to determine the best of the
best this year. These polls will be based on the number of people who
liked a fanfic and want it to be nominated. I only have three
rules....
No voting on your own fanfiction ideas.
No voting for the same fic twice!
No voting for Spam or Revengefics since nobody cares about them anyway.
If no one cared about them, No one would write them...I think the
existence of the rather HUGE # of revengefics indicates it struck some
kind of chord in this community. Besides, what harm would it do? If a
story is good, it deserves a chance, regardless of whether's it's
a bit spammy...If people really don't care, they won't nominate it.
Basically, you've just said, "Fuck you and your creativty too" to a large
# of people.
So frankly, I think you have a bad attitude, so I'm putting my bad
attitude to work and boycotting your poll.
