As some may have noticed, the Story of the Week has been updated. This thread is meant for nomination and discussion of future Stories of the Week.

Here are the guidelines for nominating a Story of the Week:


1. Story must be completed.
2. Users may not nominate their own stories.
3. Older stories (completed for three months or more) will be given preference--the Story of the Week feature is meant to give attention to stories that may not be on the front page anymore.
4. A story will become a SotW when it gets a nomination and four seconds. (First come, first serve on the order.)


Feel free to discuss the current Story of the Week and to nominate other stories for future weeks happy .

Good idea! Good guidelines! Of course, I can't think of anything I've been following that were *completed* in the last three months...

Very good idea, KnightWriter! happy

Thanks for the suggestion, Aucenah, I'll check it out!

Well, things that were complete more than three months ago actually would get preference over things newer than three months.

Well, considering that it was only done about three or four times, I'm not sure that way worked.

I, personally, thought that it was only done that way three or four times because TSL became really, really busy and couldn't do it because of time constraints.

So the story has to be completed to be the story of the week?

Yeah. That's the first rule. Part of the point of this is to bring up threads that may have been down the list for awhile because they're finished. Old stories that aren't finished are unlikely to be picked up again, so... yes, they must be finished. It's a perk for finishing stories. wink

Yes, one-shots are good. I don't see why you couldn't nominate more than one at once, though I think, just to keep it simple, we should keep it to five or fewer per post. (So that people who are seconding have less to go through in each post.)
