Thanks for sharing, Mere and Lynn. These make fascinating reading.
Out of curiosity, I took a look at the score sheet for short stories. One thing puzzled me a little - how do you answer questions about dialogue if the story in question doesn't contain any? My solution was to assign a neutral 3 to any questions which weren't relevant - ie, the dialogue was neither good nor bad because there wasn't any, but I guess another tactic would be to assign a 0. I wonder how the judges approached this one?
While I'm here, let me say that I very much enjoyed Jenni's, Lynn's, and Mere's stories.
Paul, I haven't read yours yet, but I shall rectify that very soon, and I hope I get a chance to read Allyse's story, too.
