If you're going to do this method, I would suggest the user input being the post number of their favorite story/stories. That would be easy to set up and easy to track while also being resistant to input problems like people voting for the same story but typing it differently.

You could also track a separate poll for favorite authors, with the name of the author being the input (not caps sensitive, could collate a list of all authors but that's a lot of work and still might leave some out). Both could be part of the same Google Form.
