What Iain said is basically correct. I hate to burst people's bubbles but SOTW is about giving unfancied writers a place in the spotlight.

Scotland owns CMS!

PM- So who owns FMS? The Yanks?

I got a brand new radio last night, so for all I know, I do FMS!

To be fair, there's nothing in the title "Story of the week" that says it is necessarily a good story :p

To me I just consider story of the week to basically be stickying a story which has been actively added to by the author over the week in question!

You have to take into consideration which halfwits are on the SOTW panel

Being Story of the Week is simply a device to allow people to get a little a bit of the spotlight. When it was introduced, a handful of writers were the only ones getting read regularly, and new writers found it tough to get noticed, so that was basically the idea. It doesnt mean its the best story on the board, or that anything not nominated is the worst (because certain writers are not eligible for sotw as they are too popular anyway.) it just means people feel that particular writer deserves a little bit of recognition.
