Hello all! I hope you are well and safe. We've hardly had much activity here, and my personal life has just been too busy. So for now, I'm putting the community on hiatus. I don't know how long it's going to be, but I'm thinking when the new season starts I'll open it back up again.

If someone wants to take over the community from me, I'm willing to do that too. I just don't have the bandwidth lately and it seems like all of you are busy as well.

Thanks to all members and participants for the great activity and stories over the years. I hope we will be back here soon.

Cheers,

paynesgrey

We have a tumblr page: https://whocontest.tumblr.com/

I'm hoping we can get some more writers interested in the contests. Will be cross-posting things there.

Hello to all members new and classic! Starting today,

who_contest will be run mainly from Dreamwidth. Contests and announcements will be up to date here, and we hope to get lots of participation. Originally we were hosted at Livejournal, which is now become a mirror site. Yet most of the activity from the mod side will be here at Dreamwidth.

If you are Who writers from Tumblr and Livejournal, you may also enter as well. My only request is that you be a follower of the Tumblr account, or a member or watcher from the Livejournal account. When voting time comes around, I will use either your DW, LJ, or Tumblr user name, which ever you prefer. Though it will be easier if you post directly here to the Dreamwidth community from this point forward. I just want to make sure all members and participants are comfortable and feel welcome!

If you have any questions let me know! This is a pretty laid back community. Our first challenge for the new year will be announced soon!

Thanks.

Your mod,

dancingdragon3 made an excellent suggestion, so I created an AO3 collection for us! Please feel free to add your stories! Even your older ones as long as you were prompted by a contest here.

AO3 Collection for Who Contest.

Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. Technically the winter break was supposed to end 3 days ago and time got away from me. I promise to restart the challenges next Monday, January 22nd. Please be patient and go ahead and provide recommendations for themes or fics in the meantime.

Thanks!

By request and because of numerous entries, I'm extending the "River" voting a couple of days. Votes are now due Monday, September 22nd at 9 p.m. Central US time.

If you have not had a chance yet to read and vote, I hope you have enough time to do so. We always need votes more than anything, so I'd really appreciate voting. The authors always love some feedback on their work too.

Thank you!

Time to vote!

Please take the time to look over the following entries and vote for your favorite three: 1st, 2nd and 3rd places (NO MORE, NO LESS). THERE IS NO VOTING FOR YOURSELF, and only members and watchers may vote.

Please follow the rules on our profile page, vote fairly and do not get sock puppets or your friends to vote for you. Do not ask for votes outside the community. Please leave your votes as a comment to this post. The votes are all screened. All members are encouraged to vote, even those who did not post an entry. Please help our community stay active by reading and voting!

Vote like so:

1st - B. title, author
2nd - A. title, author
3rd - C. title, author

You must use the letter, title, and author when voting. Please use all three; it's much easier to tally that way. My voting system is simple: first place gets 3 points, 2nd place gets 2 points, and 3rd places gets 1 point when added up at the end.

The entries:

A. While You Were Locked Up by

doctorxdonna

B. Stuck in the process of moving on. by

theotherbadwolf

C. Can't Forget You by

quirkysmuse

D. The Semantics of Chance Encounters by

E. Unless You're Busy by

F. Come along, Ponds! by

MOD NOTE: I regret that I did have to disqualify one entry from voting for eligibility. Please remember to make sure your entries are new to the challenge. I cannot accept old entries. Thanks!

Voting will end on Saturday, February 22nd at midnight US central time, or until we get enough votes. Winners will be announced the next day and then winning banners will be up some time within the next week. Please vote and leave comments for our authors!

Please, please, PLEASE, find time to vote. It's not required for authors to vote but it's really helpful to all the other participants that DO read and vote to have a fair chance. I know it's not mandatory (and I've been considering changing that) but I really hope that I can have enough faith in you guys for full participation of this contest that means entering (if inspired), reading, commenting and voting. It really helps the community stay alive. Thank you so much!
