Unofficial Newsbiscuit Writer of the Month Competition

Well, despite the best efforts of Wren, Oxy and myself Immacagain has prevailed, despite taking the foot off the pedal this last week or so.  Well done Immacagain, I look forward to seeing the virtual mug balancing on your avatar's head for the next month. Also I think we should note the fantastic effort by DavidH to achieve 18 points just through tickers, one point at a time, and by the same token we should applaud Titus for his not so tardy 13 points including 11 tickers. We've seen a fair bit of new talent rising up this month, not least Naff Laff reaching the upper quartile.  To all newer subbers, welcome.  And well done, whether you've scored 1 point or 13,it's a competitive field out there. Anyway, here are the final scores for the month: And here are the front pages and NiBs that were posted, along with hypelinks.  As usual the full list of tickers will appear in the chat room.

Week three and Immacagain is still looking unassailable, however there's still  a fair old posse running behind.  It's not beyond the realms of possibility that myself, Wren, DavidH  or Oxy can overtake (probably harder for DavidH as he specialises in tickers), but if any of us are going to do that we'll need to post an awful lot of good subs.

Two weeks in and Immacagain is looking like she has set up an unassailable lead, being 20 points ahead of the second runners.  I guess that's the reward for submitting regular, good work.  But there's still two weeks to go, so it is possible for someone to pull back. In the ticker race, Titus and DavidH are currently battling it out, with dominic_mcg and Maxine Jones pushing hard on their tails. Also worth noting that there are some new names on here, hello to you newcomers. All are welcome Let's see what the next week has to hold!

OK, a day late but I've been very busy. The two most significant things to note this month is the large amount of tickers that turned up a few days ago - coupled with an outage of the site at the time I do my WOTM work it has put me back a day.  The second notable point is the new leader of the pack - relative newcomer Immacagain, who has been very prolific this week and is a full 10 points in the lead. The third (of two) notable items is that Titus is in joint second place with Wrenfoe - I don't know if I should read that again or just count it.  Anyway, everyone at position two and lower has a big challenge in catching up this month. As usual, the leader board follows with the list of FPs, NiBs and Left Alerts below, with hyperlinks for those who want to read them again.
