With your help.
The stories are ultimately chosen by a panel of cultural experts. Their decision is based upon the stories that are rated the highest, and therefore are the most popular amongst the community.

Yes.
The stories chosen will go into production as of March 30th. So, submit your Memoir as early as possible!
