Nominations for your favorite TFF authors!

[chronodekar]

While the debate on who/what should be a moderator on the forum rages, I want to experiment on voting systems (see here and here for reference). Most harmless question I could think of was,

Who are your most favorite TFF authors?
(The top 3 will get an ego boost - sorry, but I can't sponsor anything else.)

Only criteria is that they should be a member on TFF and have written a story somewhere (can be offsite). To nominate anyone link to their TFF profile along with a link to ANY story they've written (to confirm that he/she is indeed an author) in this topic. You can self-nominate yourself as well.

Here's the current list of candidates,
(I'll update this as time goes by)
The Ero-Sennin
random1377
Daneel Rush
Black Dragon74
half baked cat
Andrew Joshua Talon
Lord Raa
Ryuugi
TeflonBooger aka Ozzallos
daniel_gudman
Nugar
Matdeception

I'll be collecting nominations on this thread until this count-down reaches zero,

Since he asked for it via IRC (and because I like his "Interview" story),

I nominate the authors of these two stories:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4597730/1/Can-I-Keep-Her
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8247643/1/Demon-s-Luck

One is mine...

Oh the shame for self nominating.

I will go drown my sorrows in mangos.

They were on sale and I don't have money for icecream.

 

[chronodekar]

Added the new nominations in. And as mentioned self-nominations are fine.

A favor guys? When you recommended an author, can you link to their profile here on TFF instead of their FFN profile? The idea is that whoever is up on the poll should be a TFF author.

Granted, it's just an example of what he's made that generally brightens the day to read.

I hope we get to vote multiple choices, because I don't have a most favourite but multiple favourites.

 

[chronodekar]

First post has been updated with all the names mentioned so far.

I hope we get to vote multiple choices, because I don't have a most favourite but multiple favourites.

In that case we can use the Ranking system. Here's the example vote I used earlier (its an example and setup so that you can open in another browser window to vote again),

Ranking vote selection system
(names on that list are the Love Hina cast)

Just vote once and you'll see the results soon after.

The other option is the Multiple choice system,

Multiple choice system
Instead of only allowing 3 votes, it could be setup to allow one/all the candidates to be selected - we just pick the top three.

Which do you think will be easier to use/understand? Or shall I just use both and see what happens? (you'll need to vote twice)

[rdde]

Let's use both and see what happens. For Science!

 

[half baked cat]

I was too lazy to link to Andrew's TFF profile. I know he is here though, I has seen his postings.

 

[Knyght]

Another!

@half baked cat,
Don't worry, the search function actually works, so I was able to track AJT down and add him to the list.

@rdde,
Alright then. For Science!

@knight504,
Added him too.

@Master of Squirrel-Fu,

He's already in. There's no need to nominate him twice. You can show your support when the voting starts tomorrow.

[chronodekar]

Alright everyone, there's just about 90 minutes left for nominations. For better or worse, I'll be sleeping at the time, so as a heads up, I wanted to announce the poll will start in some ... 8 or 10 hours after this post (when I wake up) and will be in a separate thread.

I'm looking around to see if I can make some certificates to email/PM the winners. Any suggestions?
