Default Re: Announcing a Short-Story Contest

[ QUOTE ]


FWIW, I also like this idea and would submit that submissions be handled in the following manner:

All submissions to be either PM'd or e-mailed to Katie, who would then post them, WITHOUT identifying the author.

This would eliminate any/all bias based upon personality, with the added bonus of adding some fun/suspense on guessing who wrote what.

You really think there'd be a bias?

I don't mind doing what you suggest but I'm not sure it matters one way or the other if people use their name or go anonymous. The last contest we had most participants posted under their name and I'm pretty confident that everyone just voted on the story they thought was the best. But if you guys want to do it anonymously that's fine with me. Hell you might be right about a bias. I just want people to take the time to read the stories because a lot of you are very talented. So whatever way best achieves this is what I want.
