I don’t really have anything to say about Round 2 that Deee-lite didn’t say way back in 1992.
Registering’s not actually necessary. If you voted in round 1, the process is the same apart from where you mouse over. For a more mobile/tablet-friendly option, go here once I’ve got the links added.
I’m going to reopen the Hype Contest, but with a couple of small changes and clarifications.
- Since I’m treating Paige’s Pie Slide as the winner’s story for most successful hype, I’m opening the most heartfelt reasoning and funniest reasoning competitions.
- You still have only three reasons to argue for your celeb of choice.
- You can argue in favour of any of the 128, though you obviously can’t influence a vote that’s already over, and it won’t help someone who’s been eliminated.
- You don’t need to have nominated someone to contribute your three reasons to vote for someone. You can also argue to vote for someone who isn’t someone you nominated if you really want to!
- I’m keeping submissions open until the grand final closes. You can make your arguments on any GGP announcement post.
- Your prize for winning is a short story about the celeb you argue for getting messy on a TV show that I think is fitting. For instance, Paige VanZant being an American nominated by TerroristPie for her potential bravery made What Would You Do? feel like a natural fit.
I’ll also continue writing short messy stories where some of my characters meet my nominees, but the further they go the bigger and better the stories will be! The first one has been up for a few days now. It’s called “Gimme Chocolate (Cake)!!” and focuses on Yumiko from my Kayotics stories meeting Suzuka Nakamoto. The next one will be about Michelle from the same series meeting Floor Jansen. I haven’t settled on a title for it yet. Maybe that could be a competition too!
So yeah. Enjoy the stories, cheer on your faves and most importantly, do your democratic duty!
