White Rose

Only 6 days left of this round of Small Press Idol! Vote for The White Rose once per day to send me to Round 4! http://www.dimestoreproductions.com/forum-t46857.html

And here’s the Tuesday 6/2 IDOL REPORT from Ian Shires

SO! the fight at the top is REALLY heating up, and projects are seriously pulling out all the stops to get in or stay in the Round 4 contention. The fight for Cover Project contention – eh…there’s some signs of life that people are interested in being on the cover of a nationally distributed anthology…we’ll see if anyone actually makes a move, Doorknob Society has a shot, but it’s going to have to maintain it’s intensity today…which was above it’s average.

Faction looks to be trembling in it’s war boots, as The Underground and White Rose, have turned on serious heat. Steel Rising, dropped a notch under the pressure.

I hope the new numbers we’re putting in the standings help all the projects see more clearly where they are at and some additional information to use to prepare themselves for the real world. That Fan% number is very telling. It’s not THAT hard to get people to vote for you ONCE. But maintaining their interest, and keeping them coming back for more, is TOUGH…and that’s what comics are all about. If your percent is low, then you are not connecting with the fans they way you want to. I could go on again about not trying hard enough and such – but maybe that’s not it…maybe you’re just not trying the right things. Go outside of your boxes these last few days, and see how your numbers respond, you may surprise yourself.

2.) 590 Votes (+114) – 130 Voters ( +7) Faction – Judges Vote: 3 Yes.
3.) 510 Votes (+118) – 152 Voters ( +3) The Underground – Judges Vote: 3 Yes.

17.) Monsters of Love – Did not turn in pages, will eventually be a back up feature.
17.) Nevil Von Dunst – Did not turn in pages, will eventually be a back up feature.

NOW!!!! What I want to do is give some additional info on the stats of each project right now. First is the Average votes gotten per day, and the second is the total percentage of vote potential the project has been getting in round 3. This is based on the total number of people who have voted for the project, and how often they have voted this round to fill the potential votes. I set it up so new voters do not have to play catch-up on their individual percentage, so someone who just started voting 3 days ago and voted twice so far, missing a day, is a 66%. Just so you know. Anyway, Let’s go!

1.) Varsity Squad
Averaging 20 votes a day, their total percentage of overall fan support is currently 29%.

2.) Faction
Averaging 49 votes a day, with 44% fan support.

3.) The Underground
Averaging 56 votes a day, and 42% fan support.

********** ****The Line for #0/R4 Contention********** **
4.) Steel Rising
Averaging 33 votes a day, and 37% fan support.

5.) The White Rose
Averaging 51 votes a day, and 34% fan support.

6.) Hometown Heroes
Averaging 25 votes a day, and 32% fan support.

7.) The Machine
Averaging 26 votes a day, and 41% fan support.

8.) The Associate
getting 20 votes a day, and 29% fan support.

9.) Maddie Scientist
averaging 19 votes a day and 14% fan support.

********** **The Line for Cover Projects************ *
10.) Diary of a Teenage Heroine
Averaging 18 votes a day, and getting 30% fan support.

11.) Dogman and Lester
averaging 12 votes a day and 26% fan support.

12.) The Doorknob Society
Averaging 21 votes a day, and 34% fan support

13.) Haxxor
Averaging 7 votes a day and 12% fan support.

14.) Boulder Colorado
Averaging 12 votes a day and 24% fan support

15.) Mr. Man
getting 9 votes a day and 19% fan support.

16.) Project Mercury
Getting 2 votes a day, and 9% fan support.

SO!!!!!! What does THAT all mean? Well, the votes per day is pretty self explanatory, but that Fan Support average, that’s the interesting number. How many fans did the project manage to keep from the previous round? How often are the fans voting this round? That’s just a taste of the numbers I have available. And it’s really showing me a lot about the people behind these projects, and the fans that are behind them.

I will be at GraniteCon in Manchester, NH today promoting the White Rose. Stop by and say hi if you’re in the area!

And don’t forget to vote for The White Rose!

IDOL REPORT 5/28 from Ian Shires

First off, I have to apologize to Project Mercury. The 2 votes they got yesterday were NOT from new voters, They had voted last round, and I have those votes credited to the right people now…which, is also why there is a -2 in the Voters for the project today.

Anyway, In a little while, ALL the projects are going to get a facelift, as I post JPGs of all 3 pages of each project in the first post of each threat, under the poll. We’re going to see what, if any, effect that has on getting more people to vote, over the PDF download way we had it set up. Voting has reached last round levels without this, but, there are those that say asking people to go through the distro to get a free PDF is too much to ask. Anyway, watch for that change in a bit.

No line jumpers today, but The Underground has firmly placed itself at the Door to Round 4…and is knocking hard. The Machine is maintaining it’s course, and is looking like it will make it back up into Cover Project status. Where is all this shuffling and digging in of feet going to end? Who will be in Round 4, and who will be a Cover Feature? We will continue to watch, as the very interesting data continues to poor in.

1.) 380 Votes (+56) – 105 Voters ( +8) Varsity Squad – Judges Vote: 2 Yes.
2.) 352 Votes (+64) – 117 Voters ( +4) Faction – Judges Vote: 3 Yes.
