Editor's Choice - What is it?
I’ve been tossing this idea back and forth for a good while. There are some people on here that write stories that are really, really good. There are some people who write stories that are... not so good. But I want to draw attention to the good stuff. The stuff that makes sense, the stuff that is thrilling, or tugs at the heart strings. I love it when my heart strings are tugged. Especially by thrilling, logical stories.
I’ve gone ahead and hand selected some members to make up the Editor’s Panel to help me weed out the good from the bad, from the really, really bad. Just so that there’s no pandering to them, I’m not going to give out their names and respectfully wish that they do not come forward.
In this thread, links will be provided to the stories we find to be exceptional.
What does this mean to you, the reader?
Well, it means that all the stories worth reading are going to be in one handy location for your browsing pleasure. It’s like a library full of recommended books for you to check out.
What does this mean to you, the writer?
More exposure for your work. Not on a grand scale, mind you, but it will drive some more traffic to your stories.
What does this mean to you, the writer AND reader?
Constant improvement. Attention to detail. Competition, all in fun.
Not to mention, in the future there might be something more for the folks that have threads that have the ever so great “Editor’s Choice!” brand. It’s like Taster’s Choice, but without the coffee. Okay, okay, that’s a stretch, it’s nothing like Taster’s Choice.
But check back every once in a while, see what else has been added.
One final note – Authors whose stories have been selected to be an “Editor’s Choice!” thread, you will be notified via PM. So turn them on if you haven’t already.
EDIT: Subscribe to this thread. I'll bump it whenever I put a new batch of stories in here, and it'll show up in your UserCP. Hurray!
