I really like this idea, although we should make it a forum post instead of a blog so that way it can be highlighted. The problem with this is that people don't know how to review creepypastas. The 1% of people with valid, thought-out opinions will just get drowned out by the 99% who vote based on whether they like the author or some other irrelevant garbage. I think the reel or PotM Nominated categories were good ideas, but whatever is decided, the method of selection should absolutely not be a user vote. >not be a user vote.

The point of this is to find a way to collect generally higher quality stories. If the general people can not vote on what they like, then what is the point. Also, I think it is more in the middle ground, sure they wont give well thought opinions, but they will vote on the fact that they like it, whatever the reason my be, which is the entire point. People like Jeff the Killer. People like Sonic.exe. People like Ticci Toby. These were terrible. No quality at all whatsoever.

Popularity and what the majority likes is not what equals quality.
