Small Press Idol Round 2 Ends This Week
The second round of Dimestore Production’s Small Press Idol ends today, and as a contestant myself, I still don’t know which way it will go. All entries are in now, which means the playing field is at least open to view ALL the entries.
As I previously wrote, the current Round focuses on character design. There were many stellar last minute entries, including East, To Catch a Human and Mid-Ground, but these additions are at a slight disadvantage - with only a week left in the voting, these newest competitors will have to pick up plenty of steam in order to break through the top ranks of the Top 30.
The Top 5 change so many times a day I’m not even going to try reporting on it. Previous hits like Retriever and Sky Pirates have been interrupted by newcomer Thieves. The forum is currently locked down for a vote count, so unfortunately I can’t provide links or stats right now, but I’ll be sure to do so whenever I am able.
As for myself, Pierced was holding steady in 19th place, although last night was probably our lowest vote count ever. I have a feeling we’re going to start slipping, so the question isn’t really when the cookie will crumble, but where. But the pieces will fall where they may, and I promise more coverage of this contest even if my piece Pierced is no longer apart of the proceedings.
Still, a couple of votes wouldn’t hurt.
If you want to vote, you’ll have to register for the forums first. After you’ve activated the account, you can vote by replying “Yes” to a topic like, oh say, Round 2: Pierced. Make sure you vote for the right round - obviously, votes four Round 1 of the same project don’t count.
And though I loathe aiding the competition, my journalistic integrity forces me to make mention that you can vote for as many projects in the contest as you like . . . so long as Round 2: Pierced is the first one you vote for!
