    I may disagree strongly with what you have to say, but I will die to defend your right to say it.

    Hello, fellow Lit lovers!

    I'm new to the Lit-Net forums, and as I was browsing through, I saw this competition--much to my delight. I immediately read the stories and decided upon my favorite; however, when I returned to vote, I couldn't find the mechanism by which to cast said vote. I can see the ticker at the top of the thread, but it informs that "You may not vote." Can some good-hearted person enlighten me as to why this may be?

    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Litnet, Gal!

    I'm afraid there's a minimum post requirement for voting in the competition. I believe you have to have made at least 100 posts in the forums before you can vote. You still have a couple of days until the polls close; you might be able to do that in the games forum, if you're diligent about posting continually. I'm glad you feel passionately about the stories, they are rather good. Hurry. Drop everything you've been planning for the next couple of days and post post post--then you can vote.

    Thanks for your speedy response! With this blizzard bearing down on us at the moment, it won't be at all difficult to drop all my weekend plans. I'm sure this new occupation will serve to stave off the monotony. I hope all the Lit-Net'rs won't tire of me--the posting fool--over the next couple of days.

    Cheers!

    They're found at the beginning of this thread. Hop to.

    Is there one day left to vote? Only 16 members have voted! Shame on thousands of you!

    You can find them on page one of this thread. I thought they were all very much worth the read. BTW, it took me less than an hour to read all four.

    Enjoy!
