...huh, I hadn't noticed that either. What does it mean? o.o

I used to be that way when I was little even though I was a girl, mostly because the adventure books I read were disproportionately about boys. It's not strange, but it isn't good. A while ago I started doing a thing where every time my brain is going to make a character male or female, I stop...

The anime itself frequently does exactly what you're suggesting - using Gust to blow away Smokescreen, etc. There is no need to rename it "Quick Attack Burst" if you're using Quick Attack to do something unconventional; just have the character say, "Use Quick Attack to dodge!" or whatever (or...

Okay, I've sent my judging to Astinus, so expect the results soon. Sorry my reviews are really hypercritical. I understand how it works; like I said, I chose to review everything because I wanted to, not because I had the impression at any point that everyone was going to. I was just confused...

Well, it was explained; Astinus originally put it to me as, "When judging, you don't have to write out a review for the story right then. If you'd like to so that it's posted with the scores, that's fine. If you want to save it for later, if the writer posts their story, that's all right as...

Wait, so we're not posting reviews with the scoring even if they're finished? I've written fairly long reviews of every entry already and I'm not here enough to be confident I'd remember to check back until all the entries have been posted. (Also, they're about the version of the fic sent in for...

I haven't received any entries! Remember you have to PM them to all the judges, not just one.

Yeah, it makes sense to extend. I'll be available.

The right length is however long it needs to be and no longer. Do note, however, that since you have such a short time to write your entries, going for anything obscenely long is going to make it very hard for you to get it properly polished in time. A shorter entry that's written with care is...

Hai thar. No problem! I've only judged one contest before, but I loved that, so I'm thrilled to do it again.

No problem! I love judging contests.

Hello everyone! Yes, I am apparently judging. I look forward to it! I like Secrets as a prompt; there's lots that can be done with it and determining relevance should be reasonably clear.

Astinus told me to post in this thread about being a judge for the writing event? I can see that it's orange, but I'm assuming "hosts" and "judges" are different things.

The MPAA officially lets you get away with one F-bomb (or other "harsher sexually-derived swear") in a PG-13 movie, as long as it is not used in a sexual context but rather as a simple expletive, and may let you off with two if the movie is otherwise mostly or just about devoid of other...

Yes, I'm the same Dragonfree as on Serebii.
