Oh, and congrats to all the other winners! GHL came out of the woodwork on 2017.07.30 - 06:33AM to say: Definitely the sort of results that speak to the site's continued vibrancy -- a delightful mix of stories by a lively mix of authours spanning from the old guard to the newly minted, with some mid-experience tossed in there for good measure. For historical perspective, you might have noticed that one authour had three different stories recognised in the same set of Trinket awards -- a performance that has only ever been bested once on SIYE (i.e., some years back there was a contributor who had 4 stories recognised in the same Trinkets announcement). Any guesses who that might be? [Hint: the name is somewhere above] potterfan2008 came out of the woodwork on 2017.07.30 - 05:31PM to say: Thank you so much for both the nominations and the votes! I appreciate the support for my stories. I'm guessing that Northumbrian and I are the old guard mentioned above :). Almost breaking a record - that's pretty cool! Thanks everyone! rbrt_emmer came out of the woodwork on 2017.08.25 - 12:20AM to say: Just out of pure curiosity, is Northumbrian the most honored writer on the site? I mean, scrolling through his stories 33 of the 42 stories he's posted on SIYE have either won challenges/silver trinkets or been honorably mentioned. GHL came out of the woodwork on 2017.08.26 - 12:26PM to say: That's an interesting question. If you evaluate based (as you suggest) on the total number of stories that have been recognised then, obviously yes -- Northumbrian has the largest number with 33. Spenser Hemmingway is second with 28 (mostly challenge awards). If you evaluate based on total number of awards (assuming that a single story can earn multiple plaudits), then things are much more complicated and I won't hazard a guess. Matters get confused by the fact that Trinkets started out as a monthly recognition, which means that early writers piled up awards a lot faster than those more recent contributors. All that aside, I suspect that several of our current authours (Northumbrian, Potterfan2008, Brennus, Melindaleo, etc.) would fare rather well on that metric too, despite the imbalance. | |||||||||||
