Prizes
Full disclosure: I am the person who votes on the prize chapter of an award but never actually reads it unless I win something. So...I hope these are decent? I can't offer book covers and banners and whatnot because I'm not a graphics designer, but I'm at least getting stickers made. They're my favorite part of winning an award, after the review, of course, and I felt they were important to have.
First Impressions and Digging Deeper:
1st, 2nd, 3rd place, and Overall stickers
Bragging rights
Direct Editing:
An editing sticker
Judging:
A judging sticker
All Participants:
A participant sticker
(which I will post as soon as it's ready)
I didn't include follows, votes, comments, or message board promotions in the list, but everybody got (is getting) them, and honestly, all of you get bragging rights. Now, I may have ended up unfollowing some of you, because I don't like certain things in my notification feed (like profanity or drama), but I voted (am voting) on chapters I liked, and I dropped (am dropping) at least one comment per chapter, so that helps your books with the mysterious Wattpad algorithms I'm always hearing about. And I blab your book titles and usernames all over my message board, so free promotion!
Probably the biggest prize is something I've never advertised, but some of you have already discovered. If I've worked with you once, you're basically on a VIP list (unless something negative changes that). That means you can place requests at any time, even if my requests are closed (as long as you understand there may be a long wait), whether that's a new book you'd like me to look at, or one I've seen before and you've edited or updated it. I'm much more likely to make exceptions to my rules for you guys, and I also try to keep an eye out for your names in awards so I can congratulate you and give you shout-outs, even if I've never read the book that won a prize.
(Please don't abuse this. I really debated about including that paragraph, because I'm afraid of the consequences, but I decided to risk it.)
So, are we ready to meet the participants?
*****
12/31/2024: My plan was to release all the participant lists at once, but since I'll be checking usernames, book availability, and reviews for every single book as I post each category, then dropping in-line comments to each finished review as the chapters post, and there are a total 195 books in my list, I'm going to continue releasing one chapter a day for my sanity. 😅
