Hi all-
I've been meaning to find a fun way of giving away a gold membership for a while, but hadn't really come up with anything good.
I thought of a silly idea just now, only slightly (ok, very) self-serving, so here goes...
I noticed recently that I have a few stories that are in the low-to-high 20k views, that is, potentially within striking distance of becoming "famous" w 30k views sometime in the hopefully not-too-distant future.
So, whoever guesses which one goes famous first will win a gold membership. Since there's not that many stories to choose from, you'll also have to guess the date that the story goes famous.
So, if you guess the wrong story, you're out of the running, no matter how accurate your date is.
If more than one person guesses the right story, then the person guessing closest to the date wins. (There's no sense in picking the same date as someone else, as ties will go to whoever posted their guess first). If two people are the same number of days away, but in opposite directions, then the earlier date gets the win. e.g., One person guesses 10/3. Another person guesses 10/5. The story goes famous on 10/4, and no one guessed 10/4, then the 10/3 guess wins.
So, post your guesses in the thread, and I'll periodically collate the guesses and make them easier to see at a glance. I suppose I should close the voting in a week or so, so that no one waits and poaches the right answer a day or so before it becomes the right answer. I'll close the voting on Sunday 9/17.
The stories are the following. I'll post how many views they have now to the nearest 100, but I'll let you all decide about other things, such as when they were published (and therefore how slowly or quickly they may be accruing views), category, etc etc.
Dirty Martini: 23,400
The Corruption of Kat: 25,200
Good for the Goose, Good for the Gander: 25,900
Cougar Clickbait: 20,700
Jenny Gets an A and a Three Way: 25,500
My Wife's Thong: 26,700
The End of Kristina: 26,500
Only those stories will be considered for guesses.
There's no catch, so feel free to guess. Post your guesses (story, and date) as a response in this thread.
I'll have to check w Nicola, but I'm assuming that if you've already got gold, then your membership can be extended, and if you've got platinum but want to play, that you can simply give the gold membership to a friend in whatever manner you choose.
Have fun!
