For the rest of you also feverishly clicking refresh, in case my ramblings are interesting in any way, shape or form, I have completed my critiques for round 1 (on page 3 of the thread as always).
This was a rough round...there were a bunch of really really good stories!! Better in a first round than I seem to remember in the past.
As others mentioned, the spectators get a nice treat as well. Though, I seem to remember more general spectator-ship and ongoing comments in previous contests. I'll bring that up in the super-secret-cool-CDM group! By the way, let me know if you are a current or past judge, contestant, organizer, spectator, cheerleaders, etc, etc of CDM and would like an invite to the group!
