1. It is a good way to stir up community participation and have more people on this wiki being active.

2. Creepypasta Wiki already has AoTM but doesn't allow the public to vote. This could possibly turn a few authors off and have them finding a different wiki.

3. It will get more authors active and writing stories so that they can see their name in AoTM. Considering that it will be a public vote, they are a lot more likely to win the award. I respect your opinion, but are the votes of the proposers even counted?

I feel like this could have disastrous results if people start writing stories just to be nominated for AotM. We're going to get a whole bunch of new authors who are going to break the rules by nominating themselves the minute they complete their stories which may or may not end up being deleted.

Also, there is the possibility of people from outside wikis coming here just to nominate and/or vote for their friends without any intentions of ever coming here again.
