I have been on both sides of the equation and neither is easy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> If we are to say X days for a judgement, how many is it to be? Does this remove the ability of the contestants to favor a start time? I have to wonder because when a set of pics goes out the judges have to produce 2 sets of critique. If 2 sets go out at similar times that means 1 story for each contestant, but 4 critiques to be produced. Tough one, huh? As for commentary, we used to have a lot more commentary in the threads but folks were posting in-depth analysis of stories before judges commnets were in. To keep any appearance of impropriety at bay we started a Judges Free thread. Then everyone quit posting almost anyting in the main thread. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Again, a quandry. Now, this has been the contest with the longest judging time I think. I apologize for that. But please do realize that the judges wish to give noone story a short shrift. (Is that a real word or a local thing?)  What do the participants feel is a reasonable time to read, critique and respond to 2 stories?</blockquote>
