General Fiction Discussion

so the winner will be announced within the coming weeks?

I think the judges are reading the entries over now, and as Rex said, it'll take about a week by his estimation.

Ah holy damn.... 😬

Yeah, I'm getting to them, but slowly. School and work are kicking my ass, but I should be able to finish them up in a day or two.

I'm ready to reveal my scores 😱

Well, they're written down at home, and I'm not there right now - but when I get home 😱

I still haven't finished reading all of them, but I suppose I should soon 😛

I must admit, though, there's a couple with wonky grammar and punctuation and I really have a hard time making myself read stuff like that.

I just want a review on something for once. o.o Or rating or something. That's all I want from this contest... course winning it would be nice (highly doubt it. It wasn't my best work)

...crap, everyone's almost done.

Should be done Thursday. Maybe. 😐

P.S. Good stuff so far, though I randomized my reading so I'm not going in the order they were posted.

Agreed. I actually had the urge to scan having read only half the story on a couple of occasions, but I stopped myself. There's no excuse for it nono

I think I just found some of that miserable grammar you were talking about. One even switches bpoint of view a bunch....very disconcerting. It's also fun being brutal in my assessment of some of these.

Still, it's fun judging these (and don't worry...many of them have loads of merits...I'm not being brutal to all of them 😉 ). And I enjoy holding the outcome (or 1/5 of the outcome) in my hands.

My God, I need to catch up on work so I can get back to what's important....KMC! 😛

I'm starting to wonder if I should have used my other story. 😕 😕

I want to apologize to everyone. I've been swamped with classwork and whatnot, so I haven't done ANY reading other than what I skimmed through when it was all entered. I'll try to get on it tomorrow.

when will this be done?

also. critique would be appreciated.

I'm waiting to reveal my scores. I've also given a brief critique on each entry, Punky 🙂

We PM Rex our results and he tallies them together, no? Or should I reveal stuff here?

Just go for it Digi
