Saw the snazzy banner. Victory confirmed. GG.

Okay, submissions are closed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit something -- it's very much appreciated, and I'm glad to see that I don't have to extend the deadline. It's promising to be a very exciting competition, and we'll have to see how it turns out!

edit: Somehow everything got immensely screwed up. We're doing three rounds of five and then one of three. SORTED.

Without any further ado, here is the FIRST ROUND:

Summer Snow by SORMEKI.
Liquid Heat by ARCTIC PENGUIN.
Revelations by GMANDIDDY.
The Smokeless Fire by HUSHIE.
The Slowpoke Challenge by YELLOWMAGIKARP.

Look to the first post for the guidelines on voting, and remember to PM all votes to me (Buoy on BMG; Buoysel on TPW; Buoyysel on PE2K). The deadline for your votes is August 10th at 23:59 GMT. Happy voting!

I think we should remove the restriction that it has to be graded. There's like a whole 2 rounds worth of ungraded stories.

Already ahead of you. It's not necessary for it to be graded, just preferable. ^^

edit: Now I have to change the entire thing because I missed those entries. Oh dear.

's all good, Buoy. We forgive you.

Still missing Zolar's though. :P Whistle While You Work [SWC]

Funny thing. Turns out I had counted the entries right at seventeen, but had just not put the four entries that I was missing into the original post. I have no idea how it happened, but everything is fine. ;_;

18 including Zolar's. But this round still works. So yeah.

dafuq is going on. I swear I had all those entries included. ;____________;

EDIT: The round is now fixed, and you can find details of how the rest of the rounds will go. Resubmit votes if necessary (which it isn't, seeing as no-one on BMG voted yet).

How does voting work if you're involved in a round?
Are we supposed/allowed to vote on the other stories or not?

If you have a story entered, you can still vote -- even in the round your story is featured in. What's not permitted, however, is voting for yourself.

If you've submitted a story and it's in a particular round, if you vote in that round, you get an extra 3 points. Isn't that nice?

You can vote for any three stories in the round except for yourself, and you get an extra 3 points for it.
