How to Win Awards
Warning... large graphics included!

Step One
Pick your award. Yep, you read that right. You decide how many weeks to play.

Step Two:
Post a story that fits the prompt each week. Remember, the story will only qualify if the community members rate the story as a "7" or better in each of the three categories: plot, character, and grammar.

Step Three:
At the end of the week, I'll post a poll where you can vote on each story. For guidelines on voting, see This Post.

Step Four:
The first week you fail to post a story or that your story is rated lower than a "7", I'll post any awards that you may have earned.

Examples:

Mary wants the Melpomene Award. She posts a story each week for 15 weeks. On week 16, she doesn't post a story. By week 17, she'll have her Melpomene Award.

Kelly wants a Terpsichore Award. She posts every week, but on week 19, her story gets rated a "6" in grammar. Her run is over. By week 18, I'll post a Polyhymnia Award, and she starts over again.

Jessie is insane and wants them all. Oi. She posts three stories and then skips week 4. By week five, I post a Calliope Award for her. She starts over again, and must post at least 6 stories before taking another week off and then I'll post a Clio Award for her.

Yep, every time you miss a week, you start over at ONE!
