I didn't understand much but I think the gist of it is (with some ideas of my own):
You just have the authors that submitted work that month pick their story they want to submit.
Then set up a board, not for voting, but to list the stories.
You put up the stories, and the E-mail of the person who will be tallying the votes, then have them send in E-mails of which they think is the best.
Then the winner will become the next tally guy which will make it so they can't submit they're own work so that they won't win consecutively
plus, if necesarry, we could submit the work anonymously so that no one is biased towards someone they know on this board.
That way no one is the constant tally person so they don't have to worry about constantly checking E-mails. But, a problem could be that some people wouldn't want to get all those E-mails if they win the AOTM, or might not want to give out they're E-mail address, which might make them not want to enter.
