Chorrol TES Fanfiction Competition Results Options

[Burnt Sierra]

Righto, the results of the first Chorrol TES Fanfiction Competition.

First let me give you some understanding of how it's been scored. The public vote counted for 50% and the judges votes counted for 50%. Obviously with only three judges, I had to find a way of balancing out the scoring. I don't want to post specific scores up here, as I'm not sure that every author will neccessarily want that information being made public. Obviously some were very close, and some not so close. If an author wants to know how I decided the scoring system, and how their piece specifically scored that's absolutely fine. Send me a pm and I'll give you that information.

It's been a difficult competition to judge to be honest. Even amongst the judges, we had very different opinions. Resulting in none of us choosing the same story in first place. Which just goes to show that there were some really good stories entered biggrin.gif

Secondly comments. All three of judges have written some comments on the stories, which I'll post up on a story by story basis after the results.

Congratulations to everyone who entered- you are all winners. And that is not just a cliche'- for me, the difference between 1st and 8th was very small.... As I read each story, I looked at it on its own merits. Then I compared. Then I beat my head against the wall, cursing myself for agreeing to be a judge.... Not really. If it would not have driven BSD-IES to distraction and also ruined the point of the contest, I probably would have had about 3 1sts and 2 or 3 2nds.... Beautiful work folks. It was a pleasure to read.
