October's winner revealed...and an announcement

Thank you to the people who voted, this month's winner is Shout by smilelikey0umeanit.

In other news, I've made the decision to stop running this competition, basically because only a handful of people voted this time and I feel bad for nagging everyone when voting is about to close. So yeah, sorry. If there's ever the demand to start running it again then I will but stories are growing increasingly few and far between, as are votes, so it's probably best to take a break.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part in the previous competitions, I was surprised at the positive response and I hope I've been able to bring a little fun into the fandom.

(Also can I just take the opportunity to say, if you read a fanfiction and you enjoy it, please please please can you just take the time to review it? In a fandom as small as the New Tricks one, just a few kind words can really boost people's confidence in their writing and perhaps encourage them to share more wonderful stories with us all.)

Entries for August's fanfiction of the month

At first I thought I'd picked the wrong month to try this out with everyone being on holiday etc but we've had a surge of wonderful new fics towards the end of the month thanks to the new series so there is lots to choose from!

I've decided not to make writers choose which one of their fics to enter into the competition as nobody has published more than three this month so it's reasonably fair. 

Below is the list of fics you can vote for, please just choose one and DM/Facebook/email/PM me your vote using the same contact details as last time.

Fanfiction of the month- August

Hello all! So next month is going to be the very first fanfiction of the month competition. It's a bit of an experiment so hopefully it will work and if not I will try to fix it for next time.

How it's going to work is...

• I will make a list of all the fics that have been published on the archive in August. This will only include fics that have actually been started in August, not multi-chapter ones that have been started previously and are ongoing.
• If a writer publishes more than one fic in August I will ask them to choose one to go on a shortlist (so people aren't favoured for the quantity of stories over the quality)
• I will post the shortlist on here, and then you can select your chosen fic of the month from it.

I think that is fairly simple so we will give it a shot! Fingers crossed we can stop the metaphorical tumbleweed floating around the archive and liven it up a bit with some fantastic stories :)
