Willingly Writing Reading Circle (On Hiatus)

Sim of the month sounds good to me. It would make it more "prestigious", lol.

I haven't made one yet, but I would probably use this site: http://www.strawpoll.me/. Very, very easy to use; takes literally six seconds to make a poll.

I would say we nominate characters from one another's stories...but I suppose that could get confusing fast; what if one person has a lot of nominations for their one story? Let's figure that out.

Here's what I'm thinking. I think we should all get caught up or at least underway on the reading. Then maybe we can nominate Sims here via the comments section during the last week in June and on July 1st, if you want to throw up a poll naming all the Sims we've nominated @CreamierThanMami we can vote and then see the results by should we say Monday, the 4th or Tuesday the 5th?

When you nominate, you can name the Sim you're nominating, the story the Sim is from, and maybe 1-2 sentences about why you're nominating this Sim OR link to a specific section highlighting this Sim giving your reason for nominating. You can nominate for humor, best attire, attitude, dialogue, backstory, reaction, description, etc, to name a few different reasons. We can even select a specific set of parameters if we want like July will be "the funniest Sim," and then August will be "the best dressed Sim" or we can just do a general nomination for SOTM. I think it's fair to say you can't nominate one of your own characters unless someone objects to this rule.

During the month that the Sim is SOTM, we can discuss why we like the character or a certain section of a story featuring that character (in addition to other topics that come up as we go). The person whose Sim is featured can maybe give a mini bio for the character and include a picture to be featured above for SOTM. This doesn't have to be done immediately fyi since the Sim will be featured for the whole month so it can be as we go.

What do you all think? If you agree, if you wouldn't mind, just saying YAY below and then I'll know we're a go for these "guidelines." Then if you have any objections, thoughts, or ideas to expand or do things differently, let me know. Once we get everyone's YAY, I'll add this to a "reserved" post above.
