So I wanted to make this quick-ish bài viết about how the người hâm mộ of the tháng thing works. Who knows, maybe some of bạn who didn't want to participate before may want to now! These things are usually done in thêm active spots like spots for couples hoặc được ưa chuộng tv shows, but this spot is NOT really that active and that's why I wanted to do this contest thing. I want to encourage thêm activity! So here's just a general faq about FOTM! I hope bạn participate!
How is the FOTM determined?
A pick will be made (by me) with usernames of the people who have participated within this spot in the last month. Then users will vote for who they think has done the best job. The pick will close at a certain date, and whoever has the most sự bỏ phiếu then will be FOTM.
Can I vote for myself?
Well yeah sure! I can't tell bạn who to vote for. If bạn think you've done a good job with the spot and have participated feel free to vote for yourself and/or add your name to the pick!
How do I get others to vote for me?
bởi participating of course! bạn can add yourself to the pick and vote for yourself, but the only way to guarantee bạn will get sự bỏ phiếu is bởi participating in the spot! Sending messages hoặc leaving các bình luận to people to vote for bạn is just in bad taste. So please try to avoid that.
What influences a vote?
Like I've said, activity in the spot. Here's a little danh sách of things that might influence a user to vote for you.
Videos - Adding trailers, movie clips, interviews, etc to the spot.
Pictures - Adding wallpapers, photos, icons, screencaps, and/or người hâm mộ art with proper credit.
Picks - Adding picks, coming up with creative picks, etc.
Links, Articles, Trivia, Forum - Also generally anything in these sections.
Comments - các bình luận are really crucial to the spot. Sure, lots of things can be added to the spot but if nobody các bình luận on them how do we know if they like it hoặc not?!
Do I win anything?
Um, bragging rights? A sense of superiority? FOR A WHOLE MONTH! I mean, how cool is that?! bạn deserved it after all, for being FOTM in the horror movie spot of all spots. I think it would also be a pretty cool idea to conduct an interview with the winner, which will be đã đăng here. The các câu hỏi would be horror-related of course. But in short, no bạn don't win anything material at least.
Please keep in mind that when bạn vote, bạn are voting for someone who has participated WITHIN THE tháng OF THE CONTEST. For example, if bạn see someone has added a lot of great các bức ảnh to the spot in November 2008, they should not qualify for your vote in FOTM. This is người hâm mộ of the MONTH, whoever has participated the most within the tháng of the contest.
So, I hope that was not too confusing and I start seeing a lot thêm activity in the spot! This is supposed to be fun, I don't want to encourage any harsh competitiveness! Just do your best to participate and enjoy!
PS: If I have missed anything that bạn want answered, let me know and I will add it ASAP :)
