January 2013 judge chat

[Ruth, Head mod]

here we can talk about the entries

[Ruth, Head mod]

ok. Does anybody think it matters that Lione's story has 800 words?

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

I don't.

[Ruth, Head mod]

ok, that was my thought. We need Jane's opinion now.

[Janussa]

I don't think it matters.

[Ruth, Head mod]

great!

[Ruth, Head mod]

Ok, guys, the contest is closed now, and we need to pick the winner.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

K

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

So. How are we choosing the winner?

[Ruth, Head mod]

a vote?

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Do you just want me to say who I vote for?

[Ruth, Head mod]

We should have a chat about the pros and cons of both, I think. This might take a bit of trial and error before we get it perfect, I'm new to this sort of thing.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Mmk...

[Ruth, Head mod]

I like the way Roxy carries thoughts all throughout her story, with the rustling and the unicorn repeating through the story. The way the family has a reason to believe the unicorn is good. The ending leaves you hanging, which I like. The story could use more elaboration, however.

Liane's story is very original, and keeps you interested the whole way through. She does a good job with describing things without too much detail or too little detail.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

I pretty much agree. And i would say more. But I probably would be saying what you said, in diffirent words. Also I wanted to ask for the next compotition, I might write. Maybe, not sure. So could I not judge that time? I don't know if being a judge means that you have to do it everytime, so... ;)

[★RavenclawReader★]

I personally think Liane's is the best. She expresses the story very clearly and creatively (is that a paradox?) and I enjoyed reading it.
And yes, next time I think I will give up my judging spot so I can participate in the contest

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Oh! Ha. I forgot to say who I likes best. Lol. I like Liane's best, too. It was fun to read, kept me going. Held my interest. Nicely exicuted. Flowed together well. Just overall good. Allthough I ebjoy anything that has unicorns. Roxy's could have had more depth. It was still good enough.
But my vote has to go to Liane

[★RavenclawReader★]

Same here. If there's a second place also, Roxy should be granted it.

[Ruth, Head mod]

I cast my vote for Liane's story.

and yes, both of you can participate in the February contest.

Wait, with our spots as judges or without? Oh, and when will the Feb. theme be introduced?

[Ruth, Head mod]

You can't be a judge and be in the contest. The Feb. Theme will be introduced on Feb. 1st.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

I can still be a judge for other contest?

[Ruth, Head mod]

yep!

Okay.

[Ruth, Head mod]

[★RavenclawReader★]

Ruth wrote: "you guys got any ideas for it?"

Hm. Poetry. New Year's. Valentine's Day.

[Ruth, Head mod]

good idea! it could be a romance! or something else...

[★RavenclawReader★]

Ruth wrote: "good idea! it could be a romance! or something else..."

Yeah, YA Romance maybe? That takes during Valentine's Day?

[Ruth, Head mod]

yeah!

[★RavenclawReader★]

That sounds good!

[Ruth, Head mod]

:)

[Ruth, Head mod]

so, we still need Hannah and Jane's votes

[Ruth, Head mod]

oh, I hadn't even thought about this, do we need prizes?

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

....What would the prizes be, though?

[Ruth, Head mod]

idk...

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

.......hmm, I can't think of anything......

[Ruth, Head mod]

we could send a bookmark, or let them be a mod for a month or something, or we could just do nothing.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

How do you send bookmarks?

[Ruth, Head mod]

I'm not really sure... I could ask around

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

K.

[Ruth, Head mod]

I can't find anything.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Oh well. What do you think bout dee mody tingy?

[Ruth, Head mod]

like make em a mod for a month?

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Yeah

[Ruth, Head mod]

yeah, that sounds good. Nothing else is really going to work.

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Then it is settled! But I don't think Jane and Hannah are tummin to votezy.

[Ruth, Head mod]

um... yeah, whatever that means :D

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

I don't think they are gonna vote. But it doesn't matter, cause 3 to 2 would still make Liane the winner.

[Ruth, Head mod]

yeah. Should we go ahead and announce it or wait for the 31st?

[Mrs.Crazy (nico di angelo)]

Doesn't matter. I suppose you could wait, since the 31st is right around the corner.
