You can count me in this year. I think that there should be a minimum post count and a date of at least 3 months old. Oh, wait, that won't translate to vBulletins, will it?

I agree that there should be one thread for submissions and one for discussion. Perhaps add one poll thread for the voting.

Not sure what I will write about, but I am shaking in my boots.

If things get done this way, perhaps Katie could lock and unlock it solely to put in new submissions, identifying the author if so desired. All submissions could go directly to her so the thread could be kept bare of anything but stories. That would keep things nice and tidy.

I like this idea, but I think it would only work if it could get stickied at the top of the page.

FWIW, I also like this idea and would submit that submissions be handled in the following manner:

All submissions to be either PM'd or e-mailed to Katie, who would then post them, WITHOUT identifying the author.

This would eliminate any/all bias based upon personality, with the added bonus of adding some fun/suspense on guessing who wrote what.

Of course, each submission should be titled, and then we would all simply vote for the title, not the author.
