Four good stories. Not much between all of them. But excitingly, room for improvement by everyone too. I want to see some 40+ stories popping up soon. Also, not to distract you from this round or anything, but Round 3 is going to be a humdinger. I can't tell you how excited I am to see what stories you write for that round. *cough* But first. Round 2. I know, I'm really pumped for round three.

So...judging the other half of the stories? Who's going to be doing that?

So...judging the other half of the stories? Who's going to be doing that? Zovo. Zovo replaced me as a judge. He and James are judging all of the stories now. I'm confused by how confused everyone is. Zovo and I did an exact swap. I'm doing all his writing, he's doing all my judging. Also, James, appreciate the review. Was super cramped for time on that story but I'm glad it came out half-decent anyway. Excited for Round 2 (and apparently 3, which is going to be... really interesting for some mysterious reason).

I was sure it was Zovo, but Zovo hasn't really said much since he started judging...at least if he's started so far. I guess I was being a tad impatient.

Well, all four stories are sitting in my laptop bag covered in red ink. I just have to translate that ink into reviews. Should have first round reviews up by Saturday. Nobody pays attention.

Your judgments will come when I get time for it. You don't need a score to advance to the next round, so, honestly, Judging isn't super time sensitive. Oh, also, I lied: Today is my wife's Birthday. It's unlikely I'll be spending a lot of time at the computer.

Anyway, yeah, I only designed it with a single day for judging because judging is not time sensitive at all in this tournament. Take your time.

Yeah, forewarning to everyone. My judging will only be happening at the weekends.

Got an idea, its different from what I think is my normal topic/genre so I don't know how well I'll do. Still holding out that Taed meets some sort of "accident".

I've got 500 words so far and each and every one of them is terrible. Not even just in combination with one another; I have permanently tainted the individual words with my garbage prose.
Go ahead, try using the word variegated in a sentence and see how it looks. It doesn't look good. Not anymore.

My,my, how variegated my garden looks this fine day. How quaint the colors and how magnificently the flowers bloom.
Doesn't seem that bad to me, Taed.

So close to deadline, and I have only an opening paragraph. Will I never learn? Perhaps one of these days I will write something that doesn't reek of rushed.

Happy birthday to Zovo's wife :3
{Edit: Also, grats to Ink! First round goes to you.
I think I was aware that I hadn't given enough but had also ran out of time to add more. The story didn't quite get going for me and it showed.}

Got 1400 words written. I like what I have, but I'm not sure how to go about expanding it and it definitely feels like it needs expanded, despite being, well, frankly, kind of complete.
Hmm.
Get a fresh start in the morning, maybe. How you doin', Injin?
