[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2314560, member: 23094"] I plan on doing that [b]anyway[/b]! It just so happened that the organizer thought he might need an extra judge on-hand for emergencies. The emergency judge became a real judge when the size of the contest expanded. It seems to me that keeping an emergency judge on-hand is still a good idea. I didn't see anyone else offering, so I did. You are perfectly welcome to your opinion. I do not appreciate the more personal aspersions you've decided to toss in, lacking any knowledge whatsoever of any qualifications I might possess. When I write for fun, I take a *long* time. While I'm certain that speed writing contests could improve my skill (and I have participated in such in the past), they aren't as much fun for me as taking my own pace. However, I currently work at a consulting firm, where I spend a lot of time as an editor of other people's work. I am often the "Go-to Guy" in the office when it is time to write something that gets submitted to the clients. I have been published - under the corporate name - in trade magazines. In short, I'm not exactly a clueless newb when it comes to these things - and I thought "emergency judge" seemed like an excellent way to apply my own skills to a contest I otherwise would be unable to directly participate in. So, for *me*, judging would most certainly take less time than writing for the contest - and, actually, I kinda sorry I volunteered. That being said, I'll still kibosh when the actual participants post their tales. [/QUOTE]
