I agree that stories nominated earlier will get more exposure, but I'm not sure this can be easily fixed. Because even if we let a 5-day period (or something) between nominations and voting, stories nominated earlier will still get more exposure.

Also, as much as I would like an Author of the Month contest, I'm not sure we have that many noteworthy authors to support this. On top of my head I can think of less than ten people who have written more than three quality stories.

By the way, I suggest that you make a new blog about suggestions to spark a discussion without going off-topic.
