Great Job Mods.

Yeah it was awesome, I like that the categories are split later, far simpler for my brain to comprehend

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

it is exceedingly hard to select one favorite entry from the finalists. There's too much good stuff there.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

Yeah, I can't choose either. . Especially in the overall and the best story category.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

I found the second round surprisingly easy Mainly because there was a story and a comic that stuck out for me since I first read the entries (And they both made it to the second round )

My problem is that there are at least 3-4 stories that really stood out for me in the first round and, lo and behold, they all made it to the second round. As for the comics, I like them all, for different reasons, so picking a "best" one is hard because it depends on what criteria I use to judge "best"--sad to say, but it may come down to me waiting until the end of voting and then doing a "just get something in' vote that will be entirely dependent on my mood at the time rather than deciding that one entry is inherently better than the others...

That just means there were really great entries in this contest, which is a good thing!

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

I just voted, it was so difficult. In the end I had five entries open which I was attempting to cut down to only two- absoloutely impossible. Why is everyone on here so annoyingly talented?

All I know is that I am totally jealous of their talents.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

Will the next task start right after this one finishes or will we be given a few days off to enjoy our victories?.

Can't wait to see who won.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

The question is: whether we'll see the results shortly after the voting closes or have to wait for a few more days? .

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

I voted yesterday. It was definitely hard. I finally narrowed the stories down to two, and then had to read them in the opposite order from how I had been reading them just to make sure! Tough choice... and it might have been a different choice if I'd been in a different mood. Good stuff.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

I had major difficulty voting too! It was so hard! And I agree that my choice might have been different had I been in a different mood! Everyone did an amazing job!

Mine wouldn't.

Author, beware: I will hunt you down, tie you to a chair, and force a full-length novelette out of you.

Re: The First Task: The Elder Wand

So if voting is closed, are we now at liberty to talk about our entries, other people's entries, etc.? Or do we need to wait for results?
