Check out how your friends are doing.
In the past, I explored ways of getting out the vote. I’ve been writing submitting for about four years, now. During 2003 and 2004 I felt that it was good to get myself and Astounding Tales into the poll and get them rated well. I was not interested in publishing last year so I did nothing and I did not appear in the polls. This year I was thinking of stuffing the ballot box with ScienceFictional votes along with the made up author names, but it is too much effort with too little payoff.
First and foremost, the poll offers almost no protection against fraud. I don’t think that it logs ip address or attempts to capture emails from the same domain. I don’t think it drops cookies or makes any real attempt to avoid fraud.
The poll is mostly for the romance genres (almost all of it lady porn), which is much more popular than spec fic. No matter what I did, the romance sites came out ahead, either because of voter fraud or sheer numbers of interested readers.
I’ll make up a bogus short story and vote for it.
Watch out for Analogically Yours (from my idea list – just a title, but it sounds neat and suggests some fun plots).
update: Analogically Yours is #3 after a bit of advertising. The harp players enjoy voting, even if there is no such story.
