Since the categories Best Writer and Best Story have been put together, we keep changing the award and its rules and we still haven't really found a solution that makes everyone (or as many people as possible) happy, so there are some discussions about that again. We should find a solution for this by Monday, because that's when nominations start. The general problem is that last year we introduced an award that includes writing other than stories (e.g. poetry, journalism,...), but then that seemed to be too much or too confusing. If you have an idea how to change this, you can post it here until Friday morning (morning in European time zones, let's say 8am GMT.) It should be a complete concept that needs no more discussion and can just be put in a poll. Suggestions until now are: 1. Leave it as it was last year 2. Best writing only for creative writing, i.e. fiction, poetry, drama. The 667er will have its own competition anyway, so articles don't have to be included in the Darkies. (by Hermes )

Hermes, a question about your idea: Should creative writing published in the 667er be allowed to be nominated?

Yes, of course. The division is by kind of writing, not by where it's published.

So is this saying the 667er will be running an internal poll for best writing or something?

If Best Article/s are gonna get a separate competition anyway, then I think the new suggestion for Best Writing works well and I'm for it.

So is this saying the 667er will be running an internal poll for best writing or something? I think so, but if Mister M would say a bit more fully what he's planning, it might make things clearer.

I will be running an internal poll for best 667er article, for both regular and one-off features, as well as asking what features people want to see more or less off.

When you say 'internal', do you mean only 667er contributors are allowed to vote?

I don't. I mean internal in that it isn't really an offical darkie thing, but an idea I had, and there will be a thing about in the 667er and stuff.

We should have another organizing thread for voting and randomly invite Hermes again. That was fun.

not at all, I said it doesnt have to impact on anything. the only thing i ever said was that i don;t think 667er stuff needs to be nominated in the darkies, but if people still want to nominate 667er for the darkies they can. My thing is completely seperate.
