Minor Announcements - How to acquire bonus chapter releases
Added 2022-01-03 12:34:27 +0000 UTCThe Stabby Awards!
Hey all!
The Stabby Awards are open once again, and this year, I hope to win one! Specifically, best serialized novel.
Since Pirateaba has been told "congrats, you've won too much now you can't win any more", I believe I have a real chance at winning one this year. So I'm going to ask you all nicely - can you please nominate me (and two of your other favorite web novels) for a stabby award? Nominations are here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/rtoo7n/2021_stabby_nominations_thread_nominations_close/ , and voting occurs later on.
If I win a stabby, I'll post a few bonus chapters, and commission some nice artwork! Incentive for you all!
On another note, a reminder that I take two days off a month, and this month it's going to be January 26th and 28th, at least from my timezone.

I did BtDEM, Journey of Black and Red, and RE:Monarch. Kinda feel like Azarinth Healer fell off a lot midway. But still good company, I might have to check out Sylver Seeker/Beware of Chicken. The animal style litrpgs like Chicken/Threadbare/Chests always seemed like they'd be a little too hard to take seriously though, never given one a go.

2022-01-05 22:57:04 +0000 UTCI'll have to just vote since I've not been on that subreddit long enough to nominate. Good luck though.

2022-01-03 21:25:54 +0000 UTCI highly recommend doing it from a proper PC. Doing it with mobile is a pita.

2022-01-03 17:10:12 +0000 UTCI’m planning on nominating Dragoneye Moons, Azarinth Healer, and Beware of Chicken. If I can figure out how to vote…

2022-01-03 16:45:22 +0000 UTCFor those of us that are social media/technologically inept, that link and website are way too complex. Can someone please make a “Voting for dummies” walkthrough? P.S. Already have a Reddit user account, so it’s not that that’s tripping me up. It’s like asking for a link and too much stuff

2022-01-03 16:39:35 +0000 UTCWell, I guess they still get visibility to anyone who checks the rules so it's kind of a win-win

2022-01-03 15:21:19 +0000 UTCSeveral authors actually. It's in the rules.

2022-01-03 15:20:28 +0000 UTCI'd argue the point of a writing "competition" is to introduce people to new stories, rather than decide who is "the best." Especailly in writing, where a single prolific author could dominate for decades (worst case scenario) it makes sense to put a limit in the rules.

2022-01-03 14:54:39 +0000 UTCUhhhh did the stabby awards really say that to pirateaba? Seems kinda against the point of the awards to tell someone they can't compete smh Understandable that they're tired of giving it to the same person over and over but cmon

2022-01-03 14:29:37 +0000 UTCWell dang I don't have enough mana to use my time travel class so I can't go back and sub to r/fantasy for a month are I would totally vote for you.
2022-01-03 14:21:55 +0000 UTCI did the same but with Infinite Realm instead of Sylver Seeker.

2022-01-03 13:58:36 +0000 UTCYou could just make dozens accounts and vote with them otherwise, no? Just a guess I have no clue actually.

2022-01-03 13:55:58 +0000 UTCSo MANY pages on a Google sheet.

2022-01-03 13:38:23 +0000 UTCThank you! I was dumb and wrote this post first thing in the morning

2022-01-03 13:26:54 +0000 UTCNeed to be part of some reddit thingy for at least a month already. Can not yet deliberately time travel, so not likely. Weird stipulation.

2022-01-03 13:08:42 +0000 UTCNever heard of this Stabby stuff, but I filled out the form just to add Beneath the Dragoneye Moons, Azarinth Healer, and Sylver Seeker (in that order) to the relevant boxes and left everything else blank lmao

2022-01-03 12:38:17 +0000 UTCyou might want to mention the rules for the award for those of us not aware of who gets to nominate/vote: "We'll again be running a script to ensure that only members of /r/Fantasy who have been subscribed for at least one month are participating. We will, as in years previous, also be watching for nomination/vote manipulations. When you share links for this year's Stabbies, you must share a link to the post on the sub, not to this Google Form."
