Maybe this isn´t necessary, but I don´t wanna be suspected of trying to do a voting fraud...
I´m a long time fan of the band Motörhead, and a subscriber to their fanclub e-mail newsletter. A couple of weeks ago I came up with the idea of posting a piece there about my parody song called "Motörhead". It´s a pretty positive parody and I figured that it could/should give me a couple of votes. How many I wouldn´t know, but I´m thinking that since there are about 4000 recipients, and if 10% of those check out the parody, and if 10% of those actually bother too vote too, it could be some 40 votes or so. Definitelly enought to rise it into the charts anyway.
Well, that hasen´t happened yet, but the new newsletter is in the mail today...
This is not a voting fraud in my opinion, and I do consider votes and comments from other authors here to be worth more for me as a fellow writer, but I figured it was a "voting strategy" worth trying out this once with this one, if nothing else.
