Yes that's right! I'm bringing it back. With more authors than ever, it's only fitting to return to highlighting a different author every month and help them feel appreciated amongst the female muscle community.
Now mind you, it won't be quite the same as it was before. There won't be a gift subscription for whoever gets it this time. I just can't afford to do it anymore. I'm sorry to have to say that. As for the interviews, I have decided not to do those anymore as well. Unless you guys insist otherwise, I don't plan on doing them. I actually have an idea in mind, that is based off what is typically asked in one, planned for all authors.
Also, based on a great idea by![:iconmakotodox:]( "Makotodox")
, I'm instead going to honor each AotM by featuring that person on the front page and posting a snippet or two from some of their stories and do a full review for one of them. And here's the kicker, unless I specify otherwise, I'll invite anyone who is a Member or a Contributor to do the review of said story if they're interested. The choice is entirely up to you. Just leave a reply under the blog entry where I'll make the invite and the rest will be all up to you. I think this will help encourage active participation amongst the members of this group. If no one expresses interest in doing it on any given month, then I'll do it myself.
As for how I'll choose the AotM, this is where I'm mixing it up. Instead of just choosing just anyone, it will be limited to someone who has posted a story or chapter during the previous month. That's right! So in this case, anyone who has recently submitted or approved the posting of their story or a chapter(s) of one to the Chapters section during March will be eligible to receive the title of AotM for April.
And of course, each month will always feature a different author. And only if every author, who has posted during a month, has already been featured, then...I will cross that bridge if and when I get there!![:D]( ":D (Big Grin)")
Oh by the way, I plan to import the interviews from the previous AotM honorees for archiving purposes. So there you have it. I hope you all like the changes I have made to the AotM feature. If anyone has any tweaks or suggestions that might improve it further, I hope you'll speak up about it.
And again, thank you![:iconmakotodox:]( "Makotodox")
for your original idea. To everyone else, expect the AotM for April to come soon...![;)]( ";) (Wink)")
