User blog:Hazelcats/In Regards To The Apocalypse Collab

Hi, guys.

So, I know you guys have been waiting to see the authors that will be writing in the apocalypse collab. I was just looking over who I was going to put as the authors, making a few checks and seeing if I wanted to change anything or if I missed something, when I thought...

What if I shouldn't be the only one to decide this?

I know not everyone will be happy no matter what the list is, but, I don't want people coming up to me complaining that they had no say in anything, that another story was better, etc. I'm not just chosing it on writing skill-that's very important, yes, but I'm going off of a lot of stuff here, like character personality, parents, history, etc. You don't want a bunch of characters with the same details. You want  contrast. So, I figured, well, why not have you guys help me?

I thought, I can publish the stories on a blog and have people read the information. Then they can pm me via chat and tell me who they think should be in the collab. They'd be able to nominate one, maybe two or three (the amount of votes you'd get would be announced once I know if we're doing this or not) of the characters/authors. From there, I would look at the characters with the most votes and decide the list from there. I would not announce the vote numbers- even if your character had the most votes, it does not guarentee you an automatic spot . It would be very likely, but not set in stone, because again '''we need character contrast. '''In this way, more people will be happy with the authors in the collab. (Also, if we end up doing this and you don't want everyone to be able to read your story, you can just tell me and I won't post it-this won't lessen your chances of getting in. Again, the votes I recieve are not the automatic list.)

If we do this, though, I want a vote first to see if people actually agree. Soo, if you think we should do this, vote below. If you don't think we should do this, vote below. If you don't care, vote below. If you like to cheat and will vote several times for your own personal gain, don't bother and go away because no one likes you.

So....yeah. Please be honest, and let me know what you think!

Do you think other members of the wiki should be able to decide the collab authors? Yes No I don't care
