Banana Contest - CLOSED FOR ENTRIES

ROUND/VOTING RULES

VOTING IS NOT OPEN! This is currently the entry period only.

To all voters: Just follow. The voting. Format. It's stated at the start of each voting chapter, and PLEASE follow it. First of all, it's pretty hard to break the rules if you just follow the format.

Secondly, it's hard to count inline comments that just say "I like this one," so it's VERY important that you mention the usernames of both of the writers you are voting for. I will delete your comment if you do not.

Rules, once again! THESE ARE ESSENTIAL TO YOUR SUCCESS AS A VOTER (i.e. not having your vote declared invalid and deleted), SO PLEASE READ!

1. No entrants may vote for themselves.

2. It's not essential for you to vote for each group, or even in every round. Vote whenever you please, as long as you follow the rules.

3. Vote for TWO of your favorite books for each group you vote in! I can't stress this enough, guys. No more, no less.

4. Every round will last for 48 hours unless we say otherwise.

5. Your vote MUST state that you've looked at all of the entries in the group you're voting in thoroughly. For example, your vote could look like this: "I have considered all entries in this group, and I vote for @randomperson1 and @randomperson2." Your vote will not be accepted without this statement.

6. We are willing to recount the votes if someone legitimately thinks that our count was wrong the first time. However, save for a mistake on our part, results are final. Sore-loserness is bad, guys. Also sore-winnerness. So . . . be nice.

7. If you make any changes to your story (deleting it, changing the title, etc.) or your username, you MUST TELL US! It's not our fault if you don't get votes because people can't find your story, unless you did tell us and we didn't see it. Then it's our fault. xD

8. "Winners" (i.e. the people who got the most votes per round) won't be announced until THE VERY END of the contest (if you guys want to see it). (To be clear, they don't win anything; this would just be for fun,)

9. Tags: 15-tag limit FOR THE ENTIRE CONTEST during the voting period! This means that you can tag 15 different people TOTAL for the entire contest--absolutely no more. In addition, you may not post on your message board or anywhere else asking people to vote for you. This is to keep things fair for those who don't like to tag a lot of people in contests. However, if you'd like to tag more than 15 people during the entry period (BEFORE the voting period), feel free. This, after all, shouldn't affect the actual amount of votes you receive too much.

10. Apparently there are some tricky, tricky tricksters who decide to cheat in these contests, so . . . don't! If we find out you've been cheating in the voting rounds, we will . . . punish you. In some way. Probably. So don't do it.

11. You may only vote for entrants in the groups that they are mentioned in.

12. Nothing more to say (I think), other than have fun! :)
