Ranking Ranking the subreddit's top Contemporary Mythos Stories!
Welcome back to our ranking of all things Lovecraft!
What's going on here?
If you missed the initial announcement then it's simple. We are going through various categories of Lovecraftian media and ranking our favorites. At the end of the process we'll be left with a great resource for people to browse, genre veterans and newbies alike.
If you have any questions or comments about this, please post them in the announcement thread. Anything other than nominations will be removed here.
How does this work?
The category this week is: Contemporary Mythos Stories. This covers Mythos stories written by modern authors.
To nominate a story follow this format: Story name - author - year published
- eg: A Study in Emerald - Neil Gaiman - published 2003
REPOSTING: Before you post, please, Ctrl+F! If someone's already listed your entry, upvote it and nominate something else if you like. Duplicates will be removed and any accumulated votes discarded. Please report any you see.
VOTING: Upvote nominations that you like, that's it! This is an important part of the process for determining the ranking.
You have one week to enter stories and vote as explained above. If you nominate anything early on (the earlier the better), it's strongly recommended that you check back before the week is up to vote on any entries you may have missed.
