Good to see that the host is still enjoying his contest! Not that I'm not, but I have to admit that I've had the feeling of drowning into the amount of entries that wait judging . I just had to get away from my PC and do something else.

 

Still, I've had the honor to read a ton of excellent entries. Many from people whom I didn't expect to be great writers. I don't mean "minimum errors" with "excellent -- I'm a judge after all, my job and duty is to try to spot errors . It's the amount of imagination power and creativity I've seen. So many people have thought of ideas that I could've never come up with. The polls won't be easy for me. I'd definitely keep the finals up at least a week.

And of course, this means I will be away for the polls ... >_< (Leaving Thursday.)

 

EDIT: And then, reading through the rest of this marvelous blog, I see what I wrote earlier was unneeded. ^^;

so that's how the contest will go

so we have till noon today to finish all those entries, sounds like fun

perhaps i'll get one or two entries read by then

 

now, i've noticed that with some of the entries that the author hasn't updated to version 1 or 2 or 20... i've even seen one that hasn't been posted in in about 2 weeks and is still on version 1 after 2 judges posts

now, could we judges possibly extend our power to make the corrections of the other judges (essentially we would be taking some to most of the workload off of you)

so, would that be legal? it would certainly speed up the judging process

say that the author hadn't updated the story after 5 days, we could go in and perform the corrections of the other judges (while not changing anything story wise)

you could possibly make edit into the entrant list post the ones that should be updated or something

just an idea to get this done faster, cause i know i don't want to read a story that has multiple problems in it (especially when those problems have already been pointed out )[/rantish idea]

For now I'm extending it to noon Wednesday, the 5th. (Sorry, The Infection! )

'S'alright. I suppose I haven't been pulling as much slack now as I did when the contest started.

 

I'll divide it up so the vast majority of the time until the 18th is taken up by the preliminaries

I like that better then the original idea. Hopefully, I can vote in the premilaries before I leave, but if I don't, I've got a day to read all the entries and vote

 

And now... must have lunch! Yes, even the skeleton needs to eat.

Just make sure it's not finger food

...

 

O.O

 

*looks at dates*

 

Noo! I leave tomorrow!

 

I don't care about my story really, I'm sure it died some time ago, but everyone else's!

 

Tally ho! To the stories!

Bones will certainly be short of judges over the next few days

 

And yea, my story pretty much died, even I my self don't read it anymore.

 

Anyhow, good luck people. I still have 2 hours and 40 minutes of school time until I am finally free You Americans are lucky...
