Who decides what gets cherry picked and what doesn't? Are they read before or randomly chosen or are they scanned by a computer for something that makes an entry better than others? Anyone with any ideas on this process speak up!
Yeah i thought that, but the emails don't seem to agree,
'From: admin@abctales.com on behalf of ABCtales.com Cherrypicking Robot (NoReply@abctales.com) '
Also, recently i posted a story of roughly 2000 words and within about five minutes of posting it i received an email saying it had been cherrypicked =/. Makes it a little questionable.
Hi Lynze. It's not automated. The Robot refers to the email notification system - i.e. when an Ed marks a piece as cherry picked, the email is sent automatically.
That your piece was picked so quickly must have been coincidence - an Ed would have been going through the 'un-read' pile when yours was posted. I'd take it as a compliment - the quality must have been obvious by a skim read alone. There is more than one Ed and they are real people. All pieces are read - not just to cherry pick but to check content for legal reasons.
