well, here is the thing, even the president gets one vote, and with any hope he votes for himself? I think contestants should be allowed one vote to spend however they like, what we don't need though are anonymous campaign managers making accounts for themselves to vote for a particular member ... but, I'd hate to see any entry get zero votes imsad

what say you?

Cool. Now all we need to do is decide what happens if someone deliberately votes for their own entry...

Make the poll public. Na7lah can keep an eye on it since she'll know which one belongs to whom.
 
Hafsah: That didn't stop people last time though, and the entire poll was closed as a result.

Gossamer: Well, inshallah 13 people intend to enter, rather than only 2 as in a presidential election. If all entrants voted for themselves it could cause a stalemate, or worse - entrants won't bother to read the work of their fellows.

Nobody wants to see an entry receive zero votes. The only thing worse is if its sole vote is from its author. :(

ROFL.. you are funny..
anyhow, on a side note, People can pretty much tell how good it is going get by the first paragraph.. if the opening statements aren't captivating, there is little hope the rest will stifle more than a yawn ..

here is to hoping we are all ensnared by all entries :D

:w:

That was the poetry contest, and do you remember who the culprit was? The resident clown of LI, lol I doubt anybody else would do the same.

Or you might be talking about the plagiarism incident in the other poetry contest, it only received one vote anyway and as soon as we realised we removed the entry.

We can warn them in advance, and thats the most we can do really. And withdraw the entry if we find out.

Keep the polls public and remind the participants to fear Allah.

I dunno. I'm just honest.

Inshallah there will be a smorgasbord of quality narratives.

We had a poll on the last story contest too. Granted, the results of it wouldn't decide the winner, but when people voted for themselves, the whole poll still had to be closed.

Okey-dokey.
 
Can I enter the contest too? .. I am not looking to win anything actually but for the love of writing..

I am almost done with my short story.. to whom do I give it? or since it is a vote, are they posted here under anon?

:w:
 
Yeah and when's the due date? We need to be more organized....
 
you send it to me, and i'll post them all in a thread after the deadline inshallah :)
 
Oh o...forgot about this competition...have to make a story now...:X
 
June!?

Ah, I thought July... Haven't even started anything! Hmm. Oj oj.

Oh well, inshaAllah I'll still enter.
 
Where is the information? I want to join in too!
 
Ahh I think you could see the front page of this thread or PM sister naziah.
 
Oh....I forgot about this and forgot to email my story from the schools computer which means I cannot post my story because school is closed till August,and the due date is June 30. Oh well I also thought it wasnt a well based story with a good concept. Only one entry is out. You know that for sure..because if I rush it,the grammer and spelling will not be well revised unless I do it with zÂk not that he would want to with me.

In the end I cannot participate sadly because of that reason^.
