Ultimate Not Wagner Tourney - Quarter finals

[Colin YNWA]

Whoops forgot to add this

RULES

1. MOST IMPORTANTLY - any writer who has got to this vote, be it the tourney proper or qualifying, is a better writer than we will ever be and so even if you really don't like someones work (which is fine) keep it lovely like I know you can.

2. Each day I will start two new threads with a vote between two writers - the writer to get the most votes after 3 days will progress to the next round.

3. For each vote I will have a thread to collect votes (and comments about the writers involved work) simply write the name of the writer you want to win that 'face-off' at the top of a post - feel free to say what you will after that, but it will help me (being lazy and all) if you write the name of your vote at the top of the comment - or make it clear by adding Bold tags.

4. I will count up votes in each round after 3 days of starting it and annouce the winner in that thread - once I've done that feel free to add but your vote won't count and you might be charged (if I can work out how to charge you (?!))

5. In the event of a tie I will have the casting vote - cos ya know I'm self absorbed

6. We are voting for favourite, not best - so how much you like their body of work WRITING, not editing etc - that will be important, particularly in qualifying as you'll see - You can do that anyway you want. I'm going with quality of their work first, with quantity as a secondary factor. You can do it based on how lovely their hair is if you wish!

6a Addendum - When I say writing for Tharg my advice (as I say do what you like I'll not know!) is to include any Tharg related prose work so text stories in annuals and specials (yeah right!), 2000ad related novels and yes importantly for previous rounds things like Thrillpower Overload will go into my consideration. Writing for other comics will not.

7. This is the Quarter Finals of the tourney proper. 8 writers in 4 votes, drawn randomly FA cup style so Hereford can take on Liverpool - can home advantage work? The writers are seeded based on quantity - based on an old list by AlexF - but that means nothing. Straight knockout the 4 writers who get the most votes in each 'tie' go through to the next round.

8. Anything thing I've forgotten I'll make up as we go along.
