Umbra Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 As of today, December 29 of 2009, in the closing days of the decade, the Featured Writing Index replaces the Featured Fictional Works. With it comes a great reconstruction of the system. The Featured Writing Index is still a process to find the best creative writings of the forum - it is the method that has changed. It is now a monthly process rather than based on application. This is how it will proceed. • Through the 1st-7th of each month, anyone can nominate a fanfic or an RP they think deserving of a special feature in the Index. If there are any open seats in the Council (see below), one can nominate themselves during the same time period.• Through the 8th-10th of each month, the Council (see below) look through the nominations and vote on who they think deserve a feature.• On the 11th, the featured writings are revealed. The winning writings become important threads for one month. (11th-10th of next month)[align=center]Featured Writing Council[/align]The FWC consists of four members, including at least one Moderator (myself, Umbra) and select whose writing will be featured. For a writing to be featured, at least three of the sitting Council members must agree. Current Council- Umbra- LuffyLaxer- Yu-gi-oh Dude- Ixigo During each month, the Council selects two writings in Fanfiction and two writings in Roleplay to be Featured. The same writing cannot be featured for more than one month in a row.

Guest Ixigo Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Can Council members nominate (I guess "sponsor" would be a more appropriate word here) works on their own, or are we limited to judging nominations from other members?

RyanAtlus Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 May I hereby assume that January won't have any featured writings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuffyLaxer Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I guess so. No one wanted to answer my question. I read some of the works, yours especially. Though I'll have to re-read them. No one was interested in helping me i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brushfire Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm guessing none of you considered Umbra's self-demotion as a possible reason for this not being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
