Topic: Trouble with the Strongest Start

I reposted my first two chapters, since their original post date fell a few days before October first. Now the chapters I posted as version two have April dates, but the computer is still refusing to accept the book for the contest. I guess that's because the book was already turned down once. Does that mean I'm out? I thought all we had to do was post the thing again!  JP

Re: Trouble with the Strongest Start

You should just have to post again. There is no restriction on work that was entered in previous contests. New judges, new chances. I'll take a look.

Quick question about the contest...what if we know one of the judges?

Just my opinion, but I'd say it would be up to the judge to opt out of voting regarding your selection if they recognize your work under your pen name and they feel they could not be impartial in their input. Nothing else should change and you should otherwise be entitled to the same consideration as anyone else regardless of judge's decision to vote or refrain. Good luck with whatever you enter either way. Take care. Vern

My work has never been entered before--it was refused because the previous post dates were in September. It's a day later, they've got new post dates, but the computer still won't accept the story.

Re: Trouble with the Strongest Start

Still waiting to hear what's up with the Strongest Start. Why am I unable to enter my work in the contest? I'm really surprised I haven't heard anything from one of the moderators. Is anybody there?

Re: Trouble with the Strongest Start

We're looking into it.
