Can someone tell me how to do a hidden spoiler in a post? Or do I have to wait to reply to comments til the judging is over?

The easiest thing would be to quote a spoiler commentmaxfieldjadenfox said:
Other than that, use {sblock} and {/sblock} for the collapsible ones, only in []. For the other ones, I forgot how to do them.
Edit: it's {spoiler} and {/spoiler}
Test [sblock=Klick me!]I wonder whether I can give an sblock a title by using sblock=title[/sblock]

Thanks, Berandor and Piratecat! See spoiler below...
Thanks, Berandor, for your comments. I came home from Chicago with a miserable cold, and had to turn around and go to Santa Rosa to appraise a warehouse. I only had last night to throw something together and I think it felt like that: thrown together. I was disheartened that my plucky Chinese orphan came across as flat, but I couldn't seem to find the there there.
Carpedavid, I was thinking of a global warming story too, but I couldn't get it to gel and needed to write something. I really enjoyed your story, nice pathos at the end, good picture use, and despite the need to inject weird, disparate, CDM images, it feels like a "real story." Good work!

I just sent the judgement for tadk vs. questing gm as well. I'd say I'm all caught up, but more stories went up today! It never ends!!! (I need the smiliey that goes around in circles with its hands in the air.)

Hello Everyone,
Major apologies, I have been off the computer all weekend. I will hand in judgments for matches five and six tomorrow and seven as well if work's not too busy, otherwise number seven will have to be the following day.
Best Regards

Hmm, a nice day in the snow seem to put me a bit late with comments this time. I'll try to do them without looking at other peoples comments this time as well. Only having two stories to comment on makes it a little bit easier, having three kids running around (that is "going to bed") makes it quite a bit more difficult

Maxfieldjadenfox A nice story, with an interresting inner journey to find who you are, but I feel it lacks a bit of tension. And even though I normally don't pay much attention to "show don't tell" (or even always see the point or the difference) I think this story would have felt better if we could experience it with the girl. Now it feels almost like my character diary/journal: a summary of what has happened.
The idea to have the pictures show different work the girl has done is nice, and well enough done that the lack of picture references didn't matter. But over all I feel you could have done this better. I seem to remember stories from you where I have felt more. This one lacks any resonance for me.
Carpedavid Wow. This is very good. You hook me in with the first sentence, and then tells a story that doesn't feel long at all. And I read all these stories on screen, never on paper. I really feel with the old salesman who have given up/lost his childhood and his way back to it. The pictures fit seamlessly and I really feel sad (and relieved) at the end. I guess this is where I should be able to point out why I like the story, but I have never been able to dissect that feeling without ruining it, so you'll just have to be content with my gut feeling saying that this is the best of the 14 stories this round. Thank you.[/sblock]
So, that was 14 stories commented on. That is a new personal best. I hope I kan keep it up through the whole competition. If you continue writing stories this good, I guess my motivation will be sufficient. Good luck to all in the next round, and welcome back next time to those who were eliminated.
