I did do the research by asking about it on a wiki form. That's a form of finding out information without wasting valued time on something so minuscule. I asked if they were authors/wiki stars to see their credibility to see the level of what i should expect in this contest. That's all I asked, no reason to be reading and looking through things to find out how popular they are when I can just ask a simple question on a form and get an answer. Based on the reaction to the comment give me a better idea then if I read or looked at there stories. Now if i wanted to know what makes them so popular, that's when I should be looking through their stories and what not, but I can't say I really care about why they are. (No offense.)

 Going to Johns blog, I see a bunch of stories with hardly any comments, but a lot of badges and what not, and redirect links or stories he wrote but didn't post here, etc. Way easier to just ask and see how many fanboys he has.

As for listening to the stories, I think you lose more if you read them. Most narrators do a great job at improving the stories through their voices, grammar fixes, language, sound effects, etc, etc, that can really make a bad pasta pretty decent. If I had the time to be reading, I should be writing. Also, as I said, I don't have the time so I listen to them at work at my desk when working. I can't really read them there and as I have no free time at home really, and no desire hoenstly, so reading isn't an option. Each to there own.
