Vocal Bonus Leaderboard: 12/27/2023
Celebrating creativity, engagement, and community building on Vocal.
We've made it to the final installment of Vocal's Weekly Leaderboard in 2023! As we bid farewell to this remarkable year, we're thrilled to spotlight the outstanding creators and stories from the past week.
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.
And the winners are...

Congratulations to everyone on this list, and thank you for picking me out of all of the emerging writers to come in third place! I am truly honoured and grateful π€
Congratulations to all the winners! I am flatter to have been picked among the emerging writers. Can anyone help me figure out why my Spira, the Tiniest Tree story, has disappeared from Vocal? I just discovered this when my daughter went to share the link it didn't work. Who do I even approach to figure this out - it's hard to get people to read my stories if they mysteriously disappear. Thanks.
Ah! First time I've been among these inspiring creators on the leaderboard - congrats all!
Power to the people. Keep going strong.
Thank you and congratulations to everyone. Special round-up sounds intriguing.
