Hmm, okay.
For the Recommendation thread, I'm barring people from recommending their own work (since that's not a rec; you can't recommend your own work, y'know? lol)
For the nomination threads, I think I'm gonna allow people to self-nominate like I've been planning. I get that it's risky, but I'm really hoping that the comment format of the nominations will make a significant difference. It hasn't been posted yet, but this is an excerpt of the Short Story/Novella Nomination thread (which is nearly identical to the excerpt in the Book Nomination thread - just a different example):
>Please format your nomination properly!
>We need the title, author, link to wherever the short story/novella is available, story summary, & your commentary (optional).
>So for example:
>The Mist by Stephen King
>Summary: David Drayton, his son Billy, and their neighbor Brent Norton head to the local grocery store to replenish supplies following a freak storm. Once there, they and other local citizens are trapped by a strange mist that has enveloped the town and in which strange creatures are lurking. As the mist takes its toll on the nerves of those trapped in the store, a religious zealot, Mrs. Carmody begins to play on their fears to convince them that this is God’s vengeance for their sins and that a sacrifice must be made and two groups—those for and those against—are aligned. When it is realized that staying in the store may prove fatal, a small group including the Draytons, store employee Ollie Weeks, Amanda Dumfries, Irene Reppler, and Dan Miller attempt to make their escape. They find that what’s “out there” may be worse than what they left behind.
>Commentary: this short story/novella is riveting; I want us to read this for the month because valid reasons. Valid reasons valid reasons.
I'm really hoping that people nominate and vote based upon summaries and I very much want people's 'commentaries' to be well-written and persuasive. Also, the nomination threads will all be in contest mode so nobody (except me) will be able to see what story is 'winning' at any given time.
Fingers crossed it'll work out well. If it doesn't and it starts going the way you're describing, I'll curb it.
