Help us choose the categories that the MR Literary Club will use to alternate for our July 2014-June 2015 cycle.

The poll will be open for seven days.

The vote is multiple choice. You may vote for as many or as few as you like.

There will be four winners. I will not vote in the poll and in the event of a tie, I will cast a vote to break it.

~

Six months of the next cycle will be devoted to rotating selections from our members, leaving six months of other categories. Excluding Lottery, we have 11 categories that have been used by us in the past: Biography & Memoirs, Contemporary, Highly Challenging, Non-Fiction, Obscure, Open, Plays, Poetry, Region, Short and Time Period. You can peruse past categories by month here.

As with last year, I am fast-tracking two categories past the vote - this time, Poetry and Contemporary. These two will be categories for the next cycle. Poetry is one of our more challenging categories and I’d like it to stay, and I’d like to ensure that we have at least one category switch for the next cycle and so have chosen Contemporary.

That leaves four slots open and nine categories with fates unknown. These categories have been arranged alphabetically and listed in the poll, where four will be voted in for our next yearly cycle and five will languish.

So, what are your druthers? Will we have mostly the same categories as last year, mostly different or somewhere in between?
