Well, the New Year is here, and I meant to post this at on the second. However, as ya'll know, I've been hopping around so busy that I can't remember where I left my head. Kisses to co-mod piksa who saved me with the voting poll last week because I was out of steam and out of time. I put up the new pretty lady to be our muse for a while (not that I still don't want a season of peace), and I just wanted to open a forum to comments about how it's going. We have the issue of what to do with our "graduates" who will soon be earning the Goddess award and how to reward their continued involvement! The grammar voting disappeared, and then reappeared after I got two emails. So, I just want a public spot for comments, suggestions, complaints... whatever!

The 13 year plan did seem a little... um... much. So, 30 makes you goddess, and once you have goddess status, any additional weeks can be cashed in for whichever award you want. So at week 39, someone could say, I want to cash in six week for a Clio award, and they would still have three weeks left to build their new "bank account"?

Hmmm... the issue of giving "change" and building a "bank account" will have to be decided by the community, but it makes sense to me.

Example: You and I both write 39 weeks, and we want to cash in our 9 weeks for awards. I want a Goddess-9week award, and you want a Goddess-6week award AND a Goddess-3week award. You might be getting two awards, but we've still done the same number of weeks. Alternately, if you wanted to cash in 6 weeks and keep your other three, that's fine, because if you had just cashed in your 6 weeks as soon as you got them, you'd still be at 3, so there's no difference.

The main challenge would be keeping track of everyone's weeks. For that reason, it would be easier to say that we can only cash in the entirety of the weeks that we have. So, if we both write 39 weeks, we would have the option of either cashing it in for a Goddess-9week award, or continuing to accumulate weeks, no backtracking, no "bank account."

Either option is fine with me; it's just that the first one is significantly more work for whoever gets put in charge of keeping track of everyone's weeks.

The keeping track of the bank accounts would be me, and I have an excel sheet going for everyone now, so I think I could do it pretty easily.

So, it seems like it's about time for a poll.
