Voted no. Any more volunteers for judging? Any suggestions on protocol? I think 3 is a good number.

Sounds good to me.

I'll be writing. I think I'd be horrible at judging. That, and I really wanna write.

I could judge if the position is still open. Just ask me on my reviews on CM's stuff.

I suppose I should've reviewed all the other people's stuff before, but CM's the shortest one of all. So, you guys' fault really.

Looks like we're pretty solidly against the idea. I don't think we'll get five yes votes, so I suppose we can just settle the matter now and assume no set theme.

If another judge is needed, I should be able to make that work. If you've got enough, though, I'd love to put in an entry. Get some sort of motivation for being creative for once.

Awesome. Well, I could fill that spot, I suppose. I'm guessing being a judge and writing something at the same time is out of the question, though. Dammit. Well, if someone else shows up that's less inclined to write, then I'm pushing the gavel into their hands.

I'm willing to give up my judging spot in exchange for being able to enter a story, it was just to facilitate the contest if no other judges showed up.

I was just joking. I think that if you have done literary criticism, you should judge. I have, so I actually want to practice my skills.
