PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"SSC5 Official Ballot"
LAST EDITED ON 08-01-05 AT 10:12 PM (EST)

Whew! Because there are 56 links in this post, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if I messed at least one of 'em up. If anyone notices a bad link, please lemme know and I'll correct it ASAP. Also, if I missed any entries when compiling this, please send that info along to me, too. That said, a list follows of all the wonderful entries in this year's competition.

Voting will run from August 1 through August 8 and winners will be announced August 9 (give or take a day or two). To avoid hurt feelings, the voting will take place through email and will be kept confidential. Everyone will get to vote. Votes should be mailed to me at sherpadave@hotmail.com. Please vote for a first through third place winner in each category (except in the Humor category, which received only two entries--vote for first and second place in that category). Also, note that multi-part pieces each count as one entry.

The first through third-place winners of each category receive nothing but Blowies. I may also be awarding another Salman Rushdie Award to the person that best personifies the spirit of the contest that didn't win a specific Blowie.

Many, many thanks to all entrants for their creativity, generosity, and bravery. And many thanks to all who offered support, especially those who took the time to offer comments on the pieces. Y'all are great.

First of all, big thanks for all that work, Dave! That's a lot of links.

With my entries, I did the multiple parts of the Cook Islands so that the threads would be able to load as graphics intensive as they are. I didn't mean for them to be separate entries. I thought I asked about if that was OK beforehand, but I probably wasn't clear about what I meant.

If that's the rule, and only two entries are allowed in each category -- I now have 4 (one in 3 parts). Just go ahead and take Pts II and III off the ballot then. I would make them say non-entries, but the thread subject line can't be edited.

Mahalo Dave!

Hmmm. I thought I clarified on the ballot itself that all three of those are considered one entry taken together. But I wanted to include links to all three so that people voting could review them. So yes, you do still have two entries total, and the Cook Island threads (all three of them) together count as one entry.

(edit: just went back to look, and the final sentence of the second paragraph on the ballot states that multi-part pieces count as one entry. whew! was afraid I might be having a senior moment.)

LOL Dave, sorry to trouble you. I mistakenly read your line to mean something different, the opposite, in fact:

When you said:
"Also, note that multi-part pieces each count as one entry."

I thought you meant that each part counts as one entry, so two parts count as two entries, etc..

It was the "each" that threw me, that and by piece you meant the whole thing (which is right) and I was thinking of "pieces" of the piece.

Never mind then and nothing to see here!

And THANKS again!

Now that I have time to vote, I figured others still need to as well.
