Pod & Planet Eve fiction contest - Winners announced

Independent cogitations and ruminations going on as we speak, kind of all around the world. Well more likely, across an ocean and on a couple of continents and island nations/cities in between.

Well, the bold strategy didn’t entirely pay off. But it did get the wheels moving faster. One judge asked for one more week, and since he’s a professional Eve fiction writer, that’s a request we’d better honor. So, we’re looking at finishing up the weekend of December 9-10.

I have all the time in the world to wait, really, so no rush on my part.
There’s a lot of stories to read and hasn’t this contest traditionally always stretched a bit due to RL punching people in the face?

[Telegram_Sam]

Yeah, delays in judging kind of became a tradition after the first year. That year we got 101 stories, and they were pretty much all right around 5,000 words long. A lot of reading for the judges, but well worth it.

Thanks for the update

Well the weekend of December 9-10 has passed… and we’re not done judging yet. But the judges made some really substantial progress. We’re getting there.

[Lasairiona_Raske]

Any update @Telegram_Sam?

[Telegram_Sam]

The judges have now carefully scrutinized, appraised, enjoyed, and scored the stories, and pronounced them “Good.” The clerk-scrivener will now check and double-check the rankings, then publish the results on December 20 (Eve server time).

I’m on pins and needles!
