Now that you’re sleeping off the excesses of the holiday break, it’s time to show a little love to the amazing authors from our December issue. We had a fantastic lineup to close out the year, and now the burden is upon you to pick your favorite. It’s hard, but we had to do it, so you must, too.
The eligible stories are:
We’ve decided not to wait for January to start our New Year’s resolutions. We’re rebels like that. To that end, we’ve got some big news. Big, big news. We’re going to have a Best of 2013 review, and we’re going to start paying our authors more!
‘Tis the season to be freaked out about how many people you still need to buy gifts for. So distract yourself from the consumerist guilt and spend some time being jealous of the person who won the Reader’s Choice Poll for November 2013. It’s the holiday spirit!
Rise up, fair readers, and make your voice heard. The time of reckoning has come. We don’t know what that means exactly, but we reckon it’s time for you to vote on your favorite story from the November issue. And the best part is that the rising up thing is optional! Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you can now make your voice heard from the comfort of your own seat.
The votes are in, and the goblin accountants are finished tabulating the results. We now know the exact ratio of Fiction Vortex readers who prefer chocolate to vanilla. Oh, and the goblins also said they know who won the October 2013 Reader’s Choice Poll. Now, to make things truly egalitarian, we’ll have a poll so you can vote on which results you’d rather hear.
I’ve just been informed that there was no poll about chocolate preferences. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but we’ll just have to go with the results of the Reader’s Choice Poll for today.
The last of the horror-themed stories has clawed its way to the top of the gore heap that is our October issue. Now it’s your turn to sift through the carnage and decide which story deserves your fear and/or favor … whichever is more important to you.
Once again, the voice of the people shall be made known … via technology that requires no vocal chords whatsoever. So, really, the click of the people shall be made known! Freedom!
