[QUOTE="roguerouge, post: 4482773, member: 13855"] Okay, Meghan, I've read your posts here and on your thread on brilliantgameologists. I've read several long posts from you and waded through your board and I still don't see the big deal. So. Your evidence thus far: * Judges on the take? Nope. Not only that, but emphatically nope. * Fees "unprecedented"! So... how much are the fees? Why don't you say? First off, talk to me when you have to buy thousands of dollars worth of school supplies for your high school classroom or travel to academic conferences without compensation or be left off next year's adjunct teaching list. Second, there's no fee, so that's strike two for you. Together, these mistakes shot your credibility. Thus, these objections arose: * You write: "the one who won, Changeling the Lost, had some of the :):):):):):):):):) writing I've ever seen in a book." Okay. Why? Can you give me some examples? Can you compare and contrast with other selections? Do you have any evidence other than that you say so? Let's see what your link says: "Changeling: The Lost: Idiot, Full of :):):):), and :):):):):):):). Rating: 0" I see. So, still no examples. * A judge on his blog stated that he liked a podcast.
