Okay. The nomination stage of the IFYs is over. Thanks to all who expressed an opinion, we've got some great chances this time around :D
Now it's time to vote, and you have three days, before the other half of the voting begins. The category up for consideration here is:
Best Style/Most Original : Best Style/Most Original : Which author, in your opinion, has written the most original and imaginative storygame in the past year? Who deserves the Best Style/Most Original Ify?
Get Voting! :cool: |

Oh dear, I think we should have renamed this to either 'best style' OR 'most original'. The two aren't really the same.
I will have to think on this one... :? |

My vote goes towards Dear Dotty as the Most Original, as it didn't fit the traditional view of a storygame in the slightest, the idea's it sparked led Chinaren to attempt his Against the Wall story.
That aside, Dotty's replies are always entertaining to read, even if she did take a long period off recently. |

Yes, after more thought it has to be DD, even if it means not voting for either of my own stories. :cry2: |

Dear Dotty gets mine on this one too. It's funny, full of wit, and at times, just a little unsettling. I have to go for it. |

I voted for Arms for the same reasons I stated in my nomination - 5 chapters, 1 week and done with style. :) |

I would say Dear Dotty too, on this one. Great idea for an interactive game, and one of the only truly experimental storygames I've seen that worked.
Good job Powers :D |
