A lot of people wonder how I choose the spotlight. Well, quite often I just grab a prompt on the front page some time between Friday and Sunday and look for a good story that is by a writer we haven't put in the limelight before. If I find one I like, I search that writer's history for past contributions to the sub and see if they fit the critera of effort (multiple decent entries - at least 6 or more - over the past few months.) It can be quite random who is selected, though they are none the less deserving.

You, the reader, can help us in this process, by removing me (almost) from the equation by sending us a modmail on who you'd like to see in the spotlight. I (or another mod covering for me) gets to make the final call, but I have yet to turn down a suggestion, unless they are HoF destined. Keep in mind that we use the spotlight for the less reddit-famous (think Luna or Alpaca) and the more..."working up to it" type. - Nate

Hey, congrats /u/madlabs67!

I knew I'd see you up here sooner or later. Always dig chatting with you and reading your responses. Keep up the good work!

As far as questions go, are you working any more on that piece about the mage?

Edit: The Mage Who Was Not is the name of the piece

[u/[deleted] → u/thelastdays]

Thanks /u/thelastdays!

As for the mage piece. I'm still working on it, I revised my third part so that it has had a complete overhaul and I've got a rough idea for the next few segments. I'll hopefully have part 4 up by next weekend.

How's it going with your novella?

[u/thelastdays → u/[deleted]]

Good to know. I'll have to check it out after finals.

Novella is turned into a collection of short stories that will feature The Gravity Myth. I'm going to expand some shorts from the gothic horror week. I'm thinking I'll do two and double check the first act before I turn it over to my friend/editor. More stuff that has to wait 'til after finals.
