Vote for your favorite nonfiction, fiction|poetry and microstories here
That’s right! You’re not seeing triple, you can vote on all three yeah write challenges at the same time, in the same place, every Thursday. Fiction|poetry, nonfiction or microstories, we’ve gathered every post around a warm cozy fireplace for your reading enjoyment.
As you’ll see below, all three challenges are open for your vote. You can read the entries for each one and vote in each one, even if you didn’t enter. If you want to vote on a grid, please take the time to read all the entries in the grid before voting for the best three. To do that, you might have to take a step back and read the rules for each grid: for example, does that microstory really answer the ultimate question, or did it just make you laugh?
You get three votes in each separate grid. If you’d like to reveal the current vote tallies, you’ll have to vote for three entries then refresh the page. Just a reminder: if you want to see the vote tallies, please use the device you voted from originally. Don’t double-vote just to see how your post is doing. We’ll remove your votes.
Did you happen to land here out of curiosity because you saw a whole bunch of hits from yeah write in your stats? Welcome! That means somebody at yeah write stumbled over your post, thought it was a good fit for us, and submitted your post for consideration. We hope you don’t mind!
Did you come here after reading a friend’s post? Please take the time to read all the posts on that grid and only vote for your friend if you really think they’re one of the best three. We promise not to tell if you vote for somebody else. If you vote without reading and run away, you make your friend look like a cheater, and that doesn’t help anybody.
As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Where’s my post?
Don’t see your post but didn’t get a love letter this week? You probably didn’t fill out the entry form for the November writing contest. Only contest entrants are moving to the voting grid this month, no matter how much we liked your post otherwise. So if you didn’t get a love letter there’s nothing wrong with your post, we just couldn’t enter it in the competition without your entry form.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
I got a love letter. Now what?
Like the first couple paragraphs of your love letter (after the part where I tell you how much I loved your post, but before where I tell you why it didn’t make the grid this week), our kickoff posts for each challenge can sure seem like a lot of words to read. Just let me start writing, leave me alone, don’t fuss at me!
Those posts aren’t just form language, though. They tell you exactly what we think is the best way to get onto the grid. For example, this week Christine told microstory writers exactly how to answer the ultimate question: “We’re asking, ‘how come?’ That is, ‘why?’ Not ‘how,’ or even ‘about what,’ though of course a good story might include one or both of those. Your answer should give us the ‘because’ – though be very careful if you decide to start your story that way. It still needs to make sense without reading the question first, so ‘because they all hate me’ is not going to cut it.”
If you’re consistently missing the grid, go back and read the rules for your particular challenge. Look for hints in the kickoff posts and take a few minutes to study exactly what we’re looking for. I promise, we’re not looking for any excuse to exclude you and only you from the grid this week- that’s why we always try to tell you exactly what happened with your post. We want you here![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Voting closes on Thursday at 10 p.m. US eastern standard time. [-5 GMT]
