/r/WeirdLit Top 100 Short Stories - Nominations
As I suggested last year, after a vote on the Top 100 Weird Books, we should have another one for weird short stories.
>>> Google Form to fill in <<< - you don't need an account or login, just type and send.
Rules:
- What does count as weird?
Everything you would want to see in a list like this.
- How long can a short story be?
20,000 words or less. That comes out to about 70 pages. I made this threshold higher than usual to include all the novelettes etc. that would not show up in a regular book list, and to avoid discussions on why certain famous works weren't included.
- How many stories can I nominate?
As many as you'd like, from 3 to 100. All of them should be something you would like to see on your personal list (not what you think should be on this list - your own taste is the whole point). Make sure to include stories from at least 3 authors, to make sure it's not just the same things repeated.
- Does the order matter?
No, this is just to collect nominations.
I will collect nominations for a while (two weeks?), then clean up the data and deduplicate entries, and then have a vote on those entries. Depending on the number of entries, I might kick all those out that only have one nomination. Feel free to share this post in related subreddits.
It would be nice if mod (/u/MicahCastle) could sticky this.
