Hey guys, last time the discussion for holding of subsequent IB of the Month for the month of May started as soon as that for April got over.

Just half a month left and we'v not started discussing the topic for the month of June!

Till it officially gets started, I thought of generating sum debate on the next month's topic.

 

 

UPDATE FROM RENIE:

And the contest is back! Smile Let's decide on a category for August 2009 - yes, we have decided to skip June and July in order to catch up!

Seriosuly I was also thinking to suggest the same..better have 10 nominations so that guys can read fully (60 is a huge number N v cant read everything) n vote depending on the quality of the post! Wish the moderator takes a note of this !

hey mods,

I agree with pal on that topic. anyone who just goes to site will look at the first few blogs and vote nad the quality posts might stay back too. please see to that you guys read and give ten spots for voting which gives good quality.

I didn't see the nominations info either. And can I suggest something here? Since many blogs are nominated, can the Mods shortlist only the top 10 blogs (I mean, by reading and judging the entries) for voting by the rest of us. That way, the voting is more fair to the quality of writing, rather than popularity of the blogger? Just a suggestion.

Thanks :-)

No probes dude, and sorry for the trouble. We sent the message about the contest along with IndiVine cause people may not appreciate too many emails from us in a day! Smile

I think this is a great idea. I can contribute something of mine! :) Writing is my passion and writing fiction more than anything. I wonder if published stories (in print) are allowed for this contest? I have a few unpublished ones too, so depending on the rules I shall apply. Thanks.

So now u want 2 raise d bar for us Frown

Just kidding.. well, stories should be original, i.e. self written, published or non-publishd doesnt matter.. so jus hop on Smile

I guess, most of the stories the bloggers would be contributing would be published - if not in their books or magazines, atleast on their own blogs Laughing .. I know that sucks! Frown
