Huh. That's strange. I always just vote for both categories, and I really encourage anyone I tell about it to vote for both, too. Erm...not that I have a big, wide audience to tell about it. ^_^;;
Actually, I assumed that "read all the entries" meant "read all the entries in both categories," so I kinda thought it was both the reasonable thing to do and part of the rules.
Watch me mash together Sims and Pokémon to tell a story about battling glitches in Penny Saves Paldea. Updated every other Thursday.
We also had a bit of time early on where it appeared that folks were only voting for one in the vets .. this is an on your honor experience be sure to let your readers know that you are glad for their love and devotion but also wish to see fair play (many think they are doing a good thing by only supporting their friends) it has balanced out now
ALSO ... if you have a twitter account or a FB page lets connect so that when I do promos I can tag you (esp on twitter) (Insta too .. I have just started using that one to promo) .. even if I already have you lets put it down so we can get a good support list going

I think I make it pretty clear how voting should be done, lol. But maybe people don't read it/don't care to vote. I always vote in both categories, though.

OH yes I know ...can't catch them all but I try to get most
Sometimes it is just a matter of educating and reeducating

Once I get a resource list started I will keep it posted on the front page
I have followed you everywhere, except Instagram as I don't have an account. I will consider it, but it's difficult to keep up with so many social media platforms, lol. All my accounts are in my signature here, but I recently created a FB page called DivantheSimmer as well that's not in my signature.
Just voted! Everyone did a great job. I appreciate how many people went the magic-is-all-around-us route.
So I'm probably going to sit this next month out---which is actually great, I only play videogames when I'm doing poorly---but will still be here cheering you on and brainstorming ways to promote SimLit. Maybe I'll pull a @Qnshr5 and release the story I would have submitted around next-weekend-ish.
And just one more thing, I'm pumped to see so many entries in the Novice category! Respect!!

True. But also kudos to anyone who went for a more literal take on the theme in order to try a genre that might have been unfamiliar territory. One of the ways we grow as writers is to experiment, which is why I love how different each of the themes are.

I already had found the website a couple days ago, did a good research before! But thanks
Does that mean there are 14 votes less for Novices than Veterans?

I am part of that problem. I haven't been able to load up a couple of stories for the novices on my phone. Rectifying now... sorry!
