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.

I have nothing to say against where I placed. As far as I'm concerned I more than earned it, for my story was not very good, especially compared to other stories.

But I just wanted to say that I didn't rush through 'just to be one of the first to get finish'. That is not me, and I take great pride in my work. I would never do such a thing, and that comment sort of bugged me a little.

Other than that you all did a fine job of judging the stories, and I thank you for your time. I just can't wait for the next contest, whenever that may be....

No, that's fair enough. As I said, I felt it could have been edited and proofed better, and there were several days left in which to do it. Bear in mind though, we didn't know who had written what, so any comments we've made are based purely on our impressions from the piece. Not based on you as a person.
