Apropos of nothing, there's a really good 2-part interview with Harlan Ellison at AV Club.

Part 1

Part 2

Amelia Earhart

Yes, I got it too.

Pcat:
[sblock]Yes, the »« are the German variety of denoting speech, though the regular "" are used as well, especially everywhere outside of novels (and anthologies). I've just gotten used to using (and seeing) them, I don't really think about it anymore. I even use them as quotation marks in my university writing, which I would guess is pretty uncommon.

Additional trivia: Sometimes the marks are used the other way round, so that they enclose dialogue «like this». One of those is the Swiss way to denote speech (I think the latter one), one the German one.[/sblock]

 

[Piratecat]

No rush, but do the judges have a feel for when judgment will be posted? (and 'no' is an okay answer.) I just want to make sure to check back.

Thanks.

Thanks.

If I had to have a guess, both results should be ready by this time tomorrow. Of course my guesses have been known to be wrong... so apologies for the delay.

Best Regards

Max,

Been working on my story a bit
Not totally done, not tied in together yet
How is yours coming along

I just cleared Rodrigo vs. Piratecat off the decks and mailed the judgement off. Damn your hides, the pair of you - it would have been faster if it hadn't been a tough round to call.

All I've been doing for the past week is trying to catch up in algebra. Starting the class a week late put me at a real disadvantage, as did the fact that I started with intermediate because of my SAT score and I haven't had algebra in something like 30 years. I hope to get some writing in on the weekend though.

Judgements send, and I must say : YOU BASTARDS, that was hard!!

 

[Berandor]

Spoiler

I literally have no time to write on Friday or Saturday (unless I simply don't sleep at all), so please take that into consideration
