I'd like to know what the judges saw or didn't see in the winners of this round and in the subs by the HM's. What did you look for--what made you toss one over the other and so on.

A lot of mean, mean things like "Sara, you talk too much," and "You certainly are chatty." I'm still tired and trying to get my life back to normal, but I would like to tell you a little about how I judged :JennaGlatzer said:I wasn't in the chats, so I can't enlighten you on what was said.

Actually, your entry was on mine and Richard's shortlists.hapsburg said:I figured one of the judges must of had to fight the other two pretty hard to get me on that list. I'd of never guessed you Sara, I should buy you dinner!
SRHowen said:Comment away--mines easy to find, right there at the top of the audition thread.
Also, I wanted to comment that several people from my Writers Suport group entered, some are new to AW. I won't say who, but including me, two people made HM. My writer's group only has 13 people in it right now. That's pretty good odds for my group.

Saritams8 said:Sarah, thanks! Here's what happened.. I let the boys beat me into submission... . No really, if I had one on my top 10 list and say Three had it on his HM list, I stated my reasoning behind choosing this one over the others as a top 10. If my reasoning was sufficient and without holes, the entry made the cut. And since I liked all of my top 10 and HM's, here they are, in post order with a few comments (remember, at this point they've already met all the criteria above and I realize I'm crucifying myself for saying who I picked, but) ...
Guts or stupidity, I'm not sure which... And just so that everyone knows, I didn't post all the ones I liked. That would take TOO long, these are just the ones that really kicked me in the shins.BlueTexas said:This is really interesting, Sara. Thanks for having the guts to tell us!
You're welcome BF.brokenfingers said:Thank you (sob!) Sara........
Well if he didn't, he does now! I would have said that after the meal...Saritams8 said:And Hapsburg... I guess now you know you were on my reserve list
