Thank you to everyone who previously volunteered to be a guest judge! Without you, we'd have a heckuva a time keeping things rolling around here. We just couldn't do it without you! :clap

I'm getting to the end of the list from the last call, so I wanted to renew the call (beg/plead) for anyone interested in being a guest judge in future rounds. If you're interested and willing, drop a note here or send me a PM. I'll be much obliged! :D

If you haven't judged before, no worries. At the conclusion of each round, I send a PM to the judges with detailed instructions on what to do. The hardest part is staying out of the critique threads for two whole weeks. :wink Oh, and choosing a top ten out of lots of fabulous entries. :deal

    I don't mind serving as judge if needed. I haven't had time to participate in the competition lately anyway. :cry

    Nope. For me the glass is always half-empty. ne_nau.gif

    However, I guess I should throw my hat in the ring as a potential judge. A blind, mean, pessimistic judge ... :D

    I guess the only solution would be to empty the glass before starting to judge,
    for more inspiration... :slurp

    With my luck I'd get picked to judge during the Discworld challenge. I've got my turtle:

    I've got OK eyesight so I'm not sure if I qualify to be a "blind judge" but I promise to squint both eyes really, really small when I pick! :D

    In other words, I'm happy to help judge if I'm needed! thumb.gif

    If you're ever desperate for help and don't mind a noob's opinion, I'd be honored to help judge.
