Young Writers Society

Well....
I think Aria is secretly happy because maybe it means she can write extra news?

*Waits patiently even though I am not a contestant*

I don't blame the Capitol for taking so long.

I've been wondering how exactly the judging of this final challenge will go. What will the pieces be judged on? The amount of improvement since the original was written? The originality of the idea? The best overall story?

Regardless, I'm sure it's hard for the judges to make their decisions when there's so little similarity between the stories to compare. I sort of expected them to change their minds and throw out another challenge that would be easier to judge.

I think it would be really unfair to judge on the actual originality/content of the story, since, especially in my case, my younger self wrote something lame and I know it. I know that I would have preferred something with more sustenance to work with, but that's what I had.

Are we sure that the President didn't die? Because I think she died. That, or she is testing our patience.

Let's just hope that she is dead because at the rate this is going, she may be dead in a couple days.

I'm not dead.
@ongoeslife to answer your question, no we are not judging anything in the original piece. That was mostly a way to make sure no one could cheat/ see how far in your writing you've come since then.

Guys, please be patient with the judges. We all have lives and sometimes they get in the way of fun stuff like this! They'll be out soon.

@SparkToFlame - Yay, you're not dead! Also, take as much time as you like.

I want to apologise for being so impatient. I'm sure you understand the nervousness of waiting for results. It just kind of got to me. Take as long as you want but please don't put up a time that they will be released (which was apparently going to be 10am EST June 9th). And thank you for arranging all this. I'm doing CVs right now at school and mentioning these Games are going to be UCAS gold

Is the review challenge still on? I'd imagine not, but I thought I'd check.

Until the Capitol posts the results, it's on~

Oh, yay! =) I have the WORST time writing reviews on command... This may be the only one I have to contribute. =/

A casual love affair with god

I think that's us up to 14/40

I really wish we could just get the results already. Its been nearly a week and I don't think we're getting 40 reviews anytime soon. yI don't mean to sound impatient but I'm going away Monday and I probably won't have WiFi.
