September File Poll

Added 2017-09-10 08:48:00 +0000 UTC

August winner: Spanking HFO: a longer spanking file that builds up to and ends in an HFO.*

*This is not the file that received the most votes in July. For an explanation of this, read "How the poll works" below.

You can see other results from the August, July, June, May, April, March, February, and January polls.

HOW THE POLL WORKS

All patrons at the $5 or more level have access to voting. You can also submit ideas to be included in the poll. Please email me with the subject line "Poll File Idea Submission."

The winning file every month will be added to my list of files to create (it will not necessarily be made the next month).

Votes will be cumulative from month to month, meaning that if your file idea doesn't win this month's poll, it will continue on to next month's poll. Votes carry forward, at a rate of 1/2 (a file receives 12 votes this month, but doesn't win. Next month, it starts out with a +6 vote bonus. If it gets 8 votes that month, it will start its third month with (12+8)/2 = 10 votes). This ensures that files that are consistently liked over a number of months will eventually get made, while also giving popular newer ideas a shot. To keep the length of the poll manageable, I remove items that consistently receive no or very few votes.
