HI! I am wondering how the judging works on this side of contest? I am new here, been writing in the short story section up till now. Over in the short story side the judging can be all over the place. Stories that have the depth of a puddle or not within the specified genre(my opinion) taking top spot where the good stories don't score or score badly. I was wondering if the scoring on this side is any more consistent? Are they actually scoring them according to what the rules state? In the feedback do actually tell people they lost out because of formatting or maybe location was not proper or missing object? On the short story side they never say anything, that I have seen, mention anything like that - now and then they will say a comma is missing or something silly that just gets the person receiving it mad, lol. Anyway, what can you tell us here? Suave, man among men, lover of women, protector of the weak and the stupid.

De gustibus non est disputandum. Without seeing a scoring rubric for the prose contest or for this one I would not label either as any more or less capricious than the norm.
We can all point to particular judges that did not seem to interact well with particular stories for, let's call them idiosyncratic reasons, but to some extent that's just life. You never know when your deeply moving story of losing that pet rabbit you had as a kid will land in front of the judge who lost their thumb when they were four because their sister's pet rabbit bit it off.
