Don't be f*cking stupid. You're voting on the quality of the letter.
Nice one David, glad to see someone with the youthful eagerness about ML that I once had.

Ah, good to see it back. It almost makes me want to get back into the 'Zine swing and start writing in again...almost.
Incidently, just a suggestion, but why not make it an entirely open vote? So people can nominate any letter from the week as opposed to only being able to vote for the first 5 that people happen to nominate. I know it would be messier and they'd be no poll, just people nominating letters in the relevant thread, but it seems a more open and democratic way of doing it. Just a suggestion, mind.

Officially female according to Pamplemeese Decree.
But yeah, it's an interesting thought.

Completely OT; but I've just noticed your signature Rob (The Rupert-dance)

I really don't know either. Maybe Bucky is too close to Bunny in my mind or something? Sorry 
Hotties works with everyone nominating who they think deserves the title and at the end of the month Kim makes a separate topic in polls where those nominated get voted for. So in essence it's the same thing just your idea is condensed into one topic which is probably better if it were to be on a weekly basis.
Thoughts on whether it should be a weekly basis or less frequent?

Well, firstly, maybe some feedback from other people on my idea would be helpful? As I feel like some sort of thread dictator at the moment
But regarding the frequency of the showcase, maybe a weekly thing would be best as if it were monthly or even fortnightly then there'd be so many letters to choose from that you'd end up with a result a bit like the following:
Delorean(23rd): 1 vote
Freshly Squeezed Cynic(11th): 1 vote
Lilac Leopard(3rd): 1vote
Interesting Chair(30th): 1 vote
Lilac Leopard(18th): 1 vote
etc etc etc
...as opposed to a weekly thing where they'd be less letters to vote for and thus a closer and more interesting fight for the title. It would mean less though as in a week they'd be less competition.
Up to you mods though. These purely suggested suggestions have been suggested to you by the Alex Corporation of Suggestions and Suggested Suggestions.

Weekly's the best. That way you can do monthly specials after every four weekly showcases

So… Posting a new thread is Fission Mailing… so I’m putting this here.
Emma:
I know there aren’t many people looking at this anymore… but I have made the decision to stop paying for the VR hosting and to let the domain lapse.
