So happy right now. Worked really hard on it wrote like 200+ chapters in 3 weeks. How does this work actually is there a team that votes which story should be story of the week or is it just 1 person? Or a algorithm?
Congratulations, by the way. I don't know how the actual story is chosen, but I do know that chapter depth and frequency of updates plays a big part. Like, if you only update your story once a month, it's never going to get Story of the Week, even if it's got thousands of likes and favourites. It needs to be popular in the moment, which writing at a rate of around 10 chapters per day as you did will certainly achieve.
