Reminder: "Reaching the Summit"
We're almost to the top! Get your entries up!
-10thDoM
- The schedule for winners of a Muse choosing the next Muse is being extended. Many have complained and/or panicked (mostly panicked) at the thought of picking a Muse so quickly, so we're addressing that.
- Beginning with the Muse for late June, winners will have until the Reminder post of the subsequent Muse to decide. Yes, this means that winners will no longer be picking the Muse that immediately follows the Muse they won, but will be picking the second Muse that follows their win.
- If a winner fails to notify an admin of their Muse choice by the Reminder post of the subsequent Muse, the choice for the Muse goes to the second-place finisher.
- Because of the "jump," the muse for early July will be chosen by a special guest.
- There's been some confusion regarding voting for multiple entries by the same participant: yes, you can vote for more than one piece by a single participant.
- We've received some questions pertaining to "place finishes" on specific Muses. We do, in fact, track everyone's finishes (including who did and didn't vote) and if anybody is curious as to how they fared in voting, send us an email and we'll gladly let you know (we will be opening a dedicated 10thDoM email address shortly... in the meantime, simply contact an admin).
- Some participants have expressed a desire to encourage "constructive criticism" and a more open sharing of comments. While the admins will not enforce any kind of "forced commenting," we are considering a system in which a participant can annotate if they want more serious (and perhaps helpful) criticism on their entries. Please post any thoughts, ideas, and concerns about this in the comment section for this reminder.

Voting: "Live Like There's No Tomorrow"
Now there really is no tomorrow... for this topic!
VOTE FOR YOUR TOP 4! (TOP. . .4 . . .4 . . .4!)
We have a new record for most entries, 21, which supplants (and destroys) the previous record of 13 set way back in early November of 2009 during the "Moon" Muse (that Muse is still tied for the record for most participants). What's this mean? Well, we're kinda growing... slowly, but surely.
Vote for your top four entries in the comments. Remember to vote for the entry, not the writer, and include the numeric designator (if applicable) since we have a few among us that give a extra reading assignments.
Also, multiple-part entries (i.e., She Writes #2) are considered one entry, regardless of how many parts. In other words: do not vote for each individual part, if that's your inclination.
Important Update (10:15 PM, Pacific Time, May 26, 2010): As one of our participants erred in both designating and linking subsequent entries, everyone needs to verify their votes are actually the entry they intended to vote for. Sorry for calling you out, She Writes, but we sort of have to...
She Writes #1 is "Rockin' It"
She Writes #3 is "Marred" (and was previously listed as "She Writes #1")
If you posted the title in your vote, then don't worry about it. However, if you only listed "She Writes #1," please clarify which piece you intended to vote for.
This is a ONE-TIME courtesy notification... mistakes on future Muses will be deleted and ignored (which is and always has been our usual policy, so no "crying foul").
Don't wait for tomorrow to not come! Vote today!
