[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5632578, member: 21076"] Feedback on thoughts of the contest, the slam on calling the thread overly self-promoting is what I think people are thinking is a bit out of left field. Ari's a longtime poster at EN World and this is a discussion board. A great place for him to come and gather some feedback from peers and potential customers as to what we think of his next contest idea. What better place to run an idea by folks than here. And trying to justify the comment by saying you are the silent majority is a bit of a stretch. They may quite likely be more like Kzach who are self-admittedly lazy and not apt to go to that length to enter a contest. People promote things at this site all the time. 3rd party publishers with signatures promoting their product, people promoting their various websites and such - there was just a contest run within the past month or so promoting someone's t-shirt shop. Ari's request is hardly out of the ordinary for this site. I think your feedback was more effective at, "no - I would not participate and I have not read your books. This contest idea does not pique my interest enough to drive me out to purchase your books to read to enter the contest or even to read the freely available story." The slam on the nature of the thread itself is what seems a little out of left field. I think Ari fully expects some people won't participate and a portion of your posts have addressed this. [/QUOTE]
