Vocal Bonus Leaderboard: 07/10/2024
Celebrating creativity, engagement, and community building on Vocal.
Welcome to our weekly Leaderboard update! We're delighted to highlight Vocal's most popular stories and emerging talents. Join us as we recognize this week's standout contributors and their remarkable achievements.
A reminder of some ground rules we use to formulate the Leaderboard:
The time period of data analyzed for each weekly Leaderboard is collected from 12:00am Wednesday - 11:59pm Tuesday ET each week. Creators can only win one place in one category on the leaderboard. Creators cannot win the same category two consecutive weeks. Creators will win the category that they placed the highest in. However, if the category they placed the highest in is the category they won the previous week, and they placed in another category in a lower place, they will win the category that they did not place in the previous week, in the lower place.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Congrats
Totally 😎
Thank you to everyone who subscribed to me. It is an honour to be on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard!
Awesome stories! I wonder if it would be possible to add a couple of new publishing categories to draw attention to stories that involve homesteading, vegetable gardening/farming, and goats or sheep? I feel as if people who write stories like mine lose a lot of visibility because there's no good place to put them (except in Journal, as I did this morning, or maybe "How To").
Brill stories this week. Well done.
Wow congratulations to all.
congratulations to all the winners
Thank you, folks, and congrats to all the other great writers getting recognition!

Congratulations everyone!
Congratulations 👏🎉 dear all.
Congrats people, great job! :)
Congrats everyone, well deserved. 👏✨
Vocal, your acknowledgement is subpar at best. I don’t need your $3 honorable mention. Can’t even buy a Pepsi with that here. I challenged you and have seen nothing. Don’t tell me you’re chicken. Show us that you care about your queer writers and storytellers. Show us that the Pride community matters to ya. Release that Pride challenge that you’ve held out on for two years. Do better.
Oh my goodness! I’m speechless 😶 Thank you everyone for checking out my challenge! Looking forward to everyone’s amazing submissions! Mike Singleton has already put forward one entry and I highly recommend everyone check it out!
Congrats, and thank you.
Congrats to this week's winners!
