Hi Folks
We tend to run 2 or 3 story challenges every year. Here are the rules & supplementary info. Individual challenges will be publicized on the noticeboard with a link back to this post


Rules:


- All stories entered should not have been previously published anywhere on the internet, including your own blog.

- All stories should be entirely your own work - which also means no plagiarism.

- All stories should feature spanking

- Please bear in mind our content guidelines and write to an acceptable basic standard, as outlined in the author guide: http://www.thespankinglibrary.org/index.php?func=about&view=aut

- You can have more than one entry if you wish.

- Stories entered for the challenge will not reveal the authors name until after the voting has taken place. PLEASE DO NOT LET ANYONE KNOW YOUR STORY IN ADVANCE.


How To Submit Your Story For The Challenge:

Stories can be submitted either by using the Contact Us button and pasting your story into the message box or by sending them to our main email address. If you don't have our main email address then either message one of the site admins via the Activity screen (click the envelope icon to the left of the admin's name) who will message you back and give it to you, or send us a brief message again using the Contact Us button and we'll email you back.

Whichever way you do it please make sure your site user name is provided and you make it clear that the story is for the challenge. Put your story title in the subject field of the email, along with Challenge Entry. Preferred format for stories is plain text but as described in the Author Guide we can handle most formats including rtf, Open Office, pdf, Microsoft Word and others, but NOT DocX files.

Stories submitted for the challenge will be pre-formatted and loaded to the library in the usual way except that they will initially be set to "restricted" so that they will not be visible to other site users.

When the voting begins the Story Challenge screen will list all the stories that were entered but the author names will not be shown, just the story titles. The story challenge software is accessible by clicking the Challenges button from the site menu. When the challenge is open for voting this button will be yellow, in the meantime there won't be much to see except details of the previous challenges.

Users will be able to view all of the stories from this screen. Note that challenge stories will not appear in the Latest Read table, nor will the Activity page show the story details of what is being read. Similarly, should you decide to comment on a challenge story you will only see your own comment and not those of others, nor will the comment show up in the Latest Commented list. And finally, if you decide to make one or more of the challenge stories a 'favourite' it will only show up in your Favourites list when voting has concluded. All of these measures are simply to try and not reveal the names of the authors until voting has finished.


Voting:
You can assign a score of between 0 and 10 to each entry. Authors can vote for their own stories if they want to - but please vote for all the others and not just your own! And please vote fairly! It will also be possible to change the number of points allocated to an entry either by voting on it again with a different number of points or by deleting the vote and starting over.

At the end of the voting period it will no longer be possible to vote any more and the story challenge screen will then show the scores for the top 3 stories & 3 runners up. Points awarded for the other entries will not be shown as it could well be demotivating or upsetting to an author if they received very few points. However, if a particular author really wants to know they can always send us a popup message and we'll provide the info.

If you have never written any stories before, do have a go! You don't have to be an established spanking author to join in, and it doesn't matter if you have never written a story before. This isn't about being competitive, it's just a bit of fun designed to trawl in new material for the library, so do please join in.
