Six Word Story - We have a winner

October 17th, 2017
Thank you to all who took the time to vote on the Six Word Story 74 challenge originally created by @joemuli

I had great difficulty picking the 6 finalist from the wonderful entries, and left you with a difficult choice for voting.

I am delighted to announce the winner is @yoke with this amazing story
Congratulations Yo, you now have the honour of hosting sixws-75

hey, do you want to fight? by @yoke

@yoke Hi Yo, Don't worry I was just the same when I got to host this challenge.

As the host, you write a post to introduce Six Word Story -75 Here is a link to when I started this challenge : https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/30418/six-word-story-74-starts-today

When you are ready to publish your post, you will click "Discuss" at the top, then click "Themes & Competitions," and then click "New Topic."

Feel free to copy and paste any of the directions I used if that makes it easier for you. That is what I had done based on the directions for a previous challenge. You can set the new deadline (usually about two weeks I think) When the deadline is up, you review all of the photos that were submitted with the new tag, and you have the honour of choosing the ones eligible for the votes, usually about 5 finalists. You publish a new post asking people to vote, showing the finalists, and setting the deadline for the vote (usually about half a week to a week long). Then you count up the votes and announce the winner in another post

If stuck, please dont hesitate to ask any questions you may have. I had a lot of questions myself and still have a lot to learn. If any veterans want to chime in with some better advice, feel free. @annied and @grammyn very kindly offered to help me when I was in the same situation. Congratulations again and have fun, I loved hosting the last challenge

@marcy0414 I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of using most of your excellent instructions to Diana on a different challenge

@suzanne234 Glad it was helpful :)
October 18th, 2017
@yoke I think Suzanne pretty well covered the instructions. If you take it one step at a time it isn't as complicated as it seems at first. If you get stuck there are any number of people who would be glad to help you out. Good luck, congratulations on the win,and prepare to grow a little bit! (;

@suzanne234 so I have to host another Six Word Story challenge? Or am I to choose another theme?
October 18th, 2017
@yoke Hi Yo, yes you will be hosting the next Six Word Story, which I presume is the 75th one. the tag to use will be sixws-75 and all the entries will use that tag and can be found there. Hope this makes sense to you!

@yoke Hi Yo, I was just wondering if you were having any problems getting the next challenge up and running. If you are not sure about hosting the next one I'm sure something can be sorted out with one of the other finalists. No pressure, I just don't want you be faced with something you are not to keen on doing
November 1st, 2017
@suzanne234 no problems. I just did not know it had to be this soon after the other challenge...
November 2nd, 2017
@yoke Like what Suzanne no pressure. just wondering if when can we start the next one?
November 3rd, 2017
@yoke Normally the host sets up the next challenge within a couple of days. This is a really popular one so I expect people are itching to get get stuck in!
November 16th, 2017
@yoke - just wondering when the next challenge is going to start? If you are having problems setting it up perhaps someone else could host it on your behalf.
November 16th, 2017
@suzanne234 Just posted the new sixws-75. I hope it is correct like this?
I pretty much copied yours. Hope you don't mind.... :-)
November 16th, 2017
@yoke Don't mind at all Yo, if you need any help posting your finalists photos for voting let me know :) I hope you enjoy the hosting experience, these challenges can be so much fun :)
December 2nd, 2017
@suzanne234 Hey suzanne, how do I get the actual choices in my voting list?
December 2nd, 2017
@yoke Hi Yo Start a new post under themes & comps again to start the voting, give an end date of around 5-7 days then I open up a 2nd 365 tab,and work from that. Copy and paste the photo story title , and the embed code which can be found then under the chosen photo,( next to the fav star. It is a little square with an arrow icon. If you click on this it will bring up the code), copy and paste this under the title and when you actually post the thread the photos will appear, also copy and paste their @ username so they are notified. do this for each of your 5 or so choices.
After the closing date, count up the votes and announce the winner in a new thread.
If you get any problems, come back to me here with your finalists choices and I will post them if you wish on your behalf
December 2nd, 2017
@yoke Ahh, well done Yo, I see you have already managed it! If I could just suggest you add the story title as this is quite important to the image, also it may be an idea to add a voting closing date
December 11th, 2017
@yoke Nearly done with the hosting now Yo. You just need to count up the votes and announce the winner in a new post. Hope you've enjoyed it :)
