When I do an SbS for here than it goes up as a FOTW. If you look at the list 3 of the last 6 are from me. However, it is when I do one for FAOL that I submit it. If I am publishing one elsewhere, I put it in the forum. I do this out of respect for what FAOL is. Is it right to do it this way?
One thing I have seen done on other sites is to have a a thread with links to all SbS threads pinned at the top of the forum.
Something I would find helpful are requests for FOTW. Either a pattern or a technique. Putting together a FOTW submission is not easy when you don't know what people are looking for.
Cheers,

[EDIT] May I just add, Being pblished is an honour. Being commissioned to produce a piece an even greater one. If anyone is asked to produce a FOTW of a specific pattern or technique I'm sure they would view it this way. It is the publishers saying "Your skills are up to this," and would I'm sure produce many more submissions. Maybe the proliferance of SbS posts here, and the lack of FOTW submissions is a matter of confidence in ones own abilities. A.
