User blog:TheInfected/Featured Story and Character "Reboot"

Yo, yo, yooo, Infected in da house. So as some of you may have noticed, or haven’t, we actually have a featured story on the front page.

Wait, what???

That shizzle still going on?

I thought it died?

Excellent questions! The fellow admins and I have decided to “reboot” the featured stories and characters. It is clear that the nominating and voting stuff just didn’t work out, for many reasons, so this time it will be different. How it works out is that the authors and I have got together a list of all the stories on the wiki (Active, finished and hiatus. Not scrapped cuz...well they’re scrapped), and every 2 weeks (maybe) we will randomize which story will get the featured spot. Once a story is picked it will be taking out of the poll, and once the poll runs out of stories, every story will be added back in and the process will repeat. This process will save more time and will allow newer/lesser known stories to be advertised more efficiently.

The featured character position will work sort of the same way, but we need your help for this time. Instead of us picking the chars for you, we would like if you, the authors, would pick your 5 favorite characters from your own stories for us to place in the poll. For example, I currently write 2 stories so what I would do is.

Endangered

Char 1

Char 2

Char 3

Char 4

Char 5

Sin City

Char 1

Char 2

Char 3

Char 4

Char 5

It’s really a simple system. However, we do need a little more. Once a character is chosen (once again, every 2 weeks) we would like if you could write a small summary about the character. Nothing to big, just a summary describing who they are and their role. If you need examples of how to write it, please see here http://undeadfanstories.wikia.com/wiki/Undead_Fan_Stories_Wiki:Featured_Character_selection#Featured_Characters for how previous summaries are written. You will be notified 3 days in advance if your character wins, so thus, gives you 3 days to write a summary. If you don’t write one, we will try to write one depending on what is on their page.

Anyways, that is all. Thanks for reading, and when you can, just write down 5 characters from each your stories that you would like to be in the pool of selections.

Adios.
