The results will be posted when we have concluded judging.

Not a minute later.

I know this is off-topic, but Happy New Year, everyone.

For me, at least.

Just in time to begin the new year, I have finished my judging. All I have left to do is go over my scores one last time. If the other judges are still up to discussing the pieces, I'd be happy to, but for the most part, my choices are firmly set.

Also, if anyone wishes for a critique of his piece, message me or post something. Be warned, though; I will not sugar-coat any of my criticisms, so only ask for a critique if you're willing to hear everything. I'll post critiques after the results have come out.

Happy New Year to all.

wow quite a lot of submissions this month

I'm almost done. I've read all the pieces (not quite sure who my top 10 are yet, by top 5 or so yeah). However, I still need to finish writing my reviews and critique for the stories on the last page and a one of the stories on the first page. I'll be done by tomorrow for sure, but I do not know when judges will congregate. I will eventually post my reviews on my page, although I will most likely wait until the official results are posted by Coop.

I should be done my judging within the week... I've had less time to do anything than originally anticipated.

I looked over every piece one last time, finished my reviews, and sent off all my results. I'm done. Thanks to all who entered and keep on writing. I'll see you guys (hopefully soon) on the winners page.

so are we waiting for any judge in particular?

yay?

More than one and I'd like to give them enough time to finish off, as I rushed the last few entries - I'm currently writing up the more in depth reviews, so that I'm ready when it comes to the release of the results.

Patience is a virtue, as these pieces all took longer than a day to write, so it will take time to judge them.

We're getting better.

Yeah, I'm taking longer than anticipated. I'm not making excuses, but will be cracking down to try and finish today or tomorrow.

hey guys, I don't mean to be a bother, but I was wondering if we could have a status report or somesuch regarding judging for the november/december contest. Its been about a week since anyone said anything.

The judging process is still ongoing. As a result, no further progress can be announced, until further judges have presented their results.

I am anticipating some progress over the next few days, say Saturday as a chance for some real movement, but as with most of the contests, we have other issues away from Newgrounds, which must take priority.

For those who asked for critiques, I will be sending those out to you shortly. From what I understand, contest results are close, or at least closer than they were before. Still, for all of those who waited patiently and asked nicely, you will see my critiques soon.

Can I be judge next round?

You just got to learn to be patient. Sometimes real life gets in the way. Remember, these are volunteer positions with no real set deadlines, so if they can't get to it right away, it's understandable. Relax.

In the meantime, may I suggest you channel your anger into writing for the January Contest?

Judging by your writing, so far, no. I want people that know the values of proof reading and can actually show some maturity in the face of the contest entries.

Sorry, but I feel that if you're going to review writing, you need to take it to a whole new level from your flash reviewing.

OK well, my flash reviews are practically the same as yours so don't be a dick there, and if you actually weren't lazy you'd looked through my blogs and saw my stories titled Unbroken Bonds which is propaply longer than anything you've ever fucking done and up until this point I was never angry just a simple angry face if I were angry I would've said LET ME BE A FUCKING JUDGE in caps like that not asked simply but clearly you fffffffffffriendly people take Angry Faic to seriously.

And News channel my anger into the January Competition? What the fuck? Thankyou for giving me advice and guiding me I appreciate that but (news) channel my anger? OMFG

Wow, attack of the rage. Also, chap, ye' may not want to curse out the fellow actually organizing this thing, as, well.... I'm not Coop, but I know that I would have a difficult time making an unbiased judgement of a person who just tried to blam my ass. Oh, and, um... you come across not just as a troll, but an illiterate one; "probably", "Face", and every puctuation mark under the sun seems to have been brutally mutilated. If you're going to be angry, be literate at least.

Baw I did it again I'm sorry guys I'm a fucking nut job I bet you in 3 or so days I'm going to be a dick like that again and then the day after that I'll be re-apologizing for days to go on I'm trying to stop but please just take all that and ignore it it's the least you can do for me.

I'm not being a dick, I was merely pointing out that while your reviews are pretty extensive, literary reviewing is hardly the same. I've written a few skeletal reviews and when the Lit Portal comes out, I'd expect to see more detailed reviews on pieces.

You know, I never really look at the emoticon faces on the side of posts. As has been pointed out to you, it is spelled "probably" If you're going to throw spurious claims about the length of one's literary work around the place, don't hide behind probability, back it up with facts.

If you want to prove your mettle as a judge, when people ask for critique, give it to them. Be fair, be attentive and be sound with your SPG. Basically, I cannot accept anyone to the judging team that asks "Can I be judge next round?"

I for one have had enough. The next time you act like and arse, I'll sit you on the sidelines for a few days. If you need to calm yourself down, find something that works, as opposed to something that clearly winds you up.

and I agree with that. I don't blame if you do next time I get mad it's not I get worked up sometimes people can call me an asshole and I'll ignore it and sometimes people will call me messed and I'll flip out at them. I suppose it's the weather, otherwise I got no solution.

We had to wait a long time for all the judges to turn in the results and now we have to congregate. Take it easy, friend, and wait a while longer.
