Iron Poet II

[truemane]

I'm sorry, truemane. I'd love to see you compete in the next round, but I've been too flaky for too long to feel right about inflicting myself upon these contests as a judge anymore...

You only say that because you're never read my poetry. I can get pretty emo.

But anyway, I've been thinking for a while that these contects should run with each contestant competing in one round, and then judging one or two other submissions in the same round.

It would take some organization. You'd have to have each person judge three other people so everyone could get three judgings. Add in a couple of full-time judges and everyone could get four.

If there was a deadline for judgings, same as the submissions, then it could serve to take the onus off of individual judges.

But in any case, if it means the difference between here being an Iron Poet III or not, then I'll agree to judge.
