It's just a matter of principle. I won't vote and I won't comment on the stories of other participants, because I consider that judging or at least trying to affect the jury's opinion.

Let them decide, without influence of the participants.

Just my humble opinion...

Won't crash your skull

with my sharpened sword if you disagree

Then again...

I'm not voting either, or making comments on the work of others. However, it would be nice if there was a feedback thread for writers for others (about their writing and not the contest); at least every author would then receive something back for his effort regardless of whether he won or not. Just a thought.

Haha nobody liked my story, my only vote was casted by myself... against some principle perhaps, but I think that story needed a sympathy vote

heh, sympathy votes obey different principles.

honestly, i don't believe in the "not voting for oneself" paradigm. if you honestly feel your story is the best, go for it, i say. in general, though, in a friendly contest like this, where nothing dire is at stake, i probably wouldn't vote at all since the poll is visible.

You've got a very good point there. But feedback and helpfull hints or tips are still usefull after the voting. I guess the stories won't get deleted of the forums after the contest is done?

Feedback and comments are still possible afterwards.
