bonesiii Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Since you ask I might as well say that I'm still working on one entry but to be absolutely sure one detail is alright I'll have to re-read some of the books, and coming up I'll need to do that anyways for my history retelling, so I should get back to the contest soonish. Also, have been making progress bit by bit on the EM Shards contest. Hopefully we can get polls for that going soon and then I'll focus on this one.

Infrared Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) As an authorized Contest Judge, I have read and judged this entry:"Casualties" by toa jalokimI see problems with this entry.The corrections are mostly to fix minor grammatical mistakes and similar issues.

Infrared Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I would like to continue on with the contest, and I imagine I'm not the only one, but it's fallen off all the judges' radar and it was never on the site's radar to begin with. I think if the staff ran a front-page story on it and allowed people to repost their entries so they were on the front page of the forum again it would help to reinvigorate interest. I might try to make a Google Doc for the entry list so people can update it as they judge entries. Also, sort of a weird request, but it might be a good idea to provide blanket approval for edits to add in the new Matoran prefixes, since it's awkward having to constantly use "Matoran of Plasma" instead of "Su-Matoran," for example.

I would say this year, but life has a way of crushing such hopes...Seeing as the judging is indefinitely delayed, might new entries be accepted until you finish your story? After all, the point of a deadline is to allow for judging, but since we have no definite idea when judging will be, the deadline seems pointless. I understand that the judges may be busy with other things, but then, since the final judgement is on hold, the judges could take their time. I suspect that most people who want to submit stories have already done so, which leaves a few (I think) newcomers to add to the collection. This may not be feasible, but I think it's worth asking about.

TheSkeletonMan939 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I re-formatted my entry, and found that while I still liked reading it, a few lines of dialogue were rather grating and crummy.
