After reviewing the number of votes and average ratings of stories, I have decided to extend the voting period until Wednesday 23:59 to give some stories that were “dropped” from the competition because of a bug in my code a chance to get a fair number of votes. This was done because I would like a reasonably large number of votes for each story so that the vote is accurate and a true reflection of the opinion of our community.

The voting is very close. The page displaying the votes is using a formula so that stories with less votes will be closer to the top and stories with lots of votes closer to the bottom. The formula does not take into account any story's rating, so it is impossible to guess by looking at the page who is winning. The system also takes into account factors such as when the story was entered. We have slightly less than 100 entries in the Felix Felicis Competition, and so far it has been a complete success. There have been thousands and thousands of members placing votes, and we hope to see many more getting involved over the 3 days remaining in the extended competition.

We value the feedback of everybody, and you can do so by commenting in this thread.

Thank you all so much for making this such a successful competition. I would remind everybody that the prizes can be found here, and a list of entries in the competition can be found here.

It is you, the members of Portkey, that get to decide who will win this competition and the prizes, and we appreciate your support and involvement in making this an immensely successful event!

Yes! Thank you! I'm so happy that you are extending it. I've been busy with other happenings lately, so I haven't been able to update my story, so I'm happy that now I can at least get one more update in before 11:59 pm on Wedenesday.

11:58 PM on Wendesday might have been too late <-- yep, my favorite smily.

Hmm, have the house-elves finished counting the votes yet?

I know who wins

Buuuuuuuuuuuut I wont be able to post any of that for another 6 hours - I have an exam in a few hours and unfortunitely don't have time to do everything I need to in order to announce the winners.

Unfortunitely everyone will have to keep waiting a tiny bit longer!

Thanks,
James

Umm, for some reason I cant get on to portkey's homepage. I can get to the stories my going to users.portkey.org and then clicking on one of my fics and then going to the new/updated page, but I can't get on to the home page. Don't know why this is, hope someone else knows!

Hey Sirena!

Well, I can finally get back onto the homepage, it must have just had technical malfunctions, it happens. But, I didn't see anything from James, so I don't think he's posted the winners yet , but I hope he does really, really soon!

OK, so when is it likely to be up?

We're anxiously waiting...;-)

Sorry for the longer-than-expected wait, but the results are up now!

James,

Where on our author area do we get to view our results? I know I didn't win, but I'd still like to know what my ratings were if I can.
