The Interview Challenge Closed
So, the second Challenge of the New Year is now closed. At the last minute, we now have four submissions to challenge our fine judges. These four will be competing for the title of Best Overall, Drama, Security, and Some Serious Newspaper Editing. The judges for this Challenge are experienced in writing stories and judging such contests.

By the time you read this, the judges have already begun to read all the entries and marking up their scores for judging. Their votes will be submitted to me by Thursday, May 14, so I may post the winners on Friday, the 15th.

As you may know, this was not the scheduled Challenge for April. We will try to get back on track and have the correct Challenge for June.

Good luck to both the judges and all authors.

Good luck to all the entrants! One question? What happens if there's a tie? How do you determine THAT DIFFERENCE? Subtle, ain't I? - Mike



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.02 - 08:08AM to say:

M_And - nothing. The winners are listed as a tie. We've had them in the past.



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.02 - 08:50AM to say:

In the event of a tie, the parties involved paint their bodies purple and yellow, meet in a forest clearing under a full moon at midnight, arm themselves with buckets of cold pasta, and then... What's that? Oh...really? Never mind--we'll go with Sir Ollivander's ruling. Sigh.

That difference!
Hmm...that's the product pitch for my favorite Burundian dark roast coffee. Could the little green toadies actually be getting their due finally? That must be it! I have to be right about these things once in a while, don't I? Please don't say it.

*snaps fingers* I knew I had missed something when I tied with Spenser. Body painting...



M_And came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.02 - 11:57PM to say:

Guys, guys guys...I was being facetious (well... not about the congrats, but everything else). There's four entrants up for four awards. Talk of ties would seem to be a bit moot (unless there's a last minute entry from the Burundian Coffee Faction). I was really posing the question as a vehicle to state that I caught Sir Ollivander's hidden message - THAT DIFFERENCE - I was hoping to generate a little discussion on what he's plotting next. - Mike



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.03 - 06:57AM to say:

Ah... That difference! Burdundian Dark Roast Coffee! So rich! So tasty! It's the brand that four out of five dentists, and five out of five Burundian kowtowing toadies prefer. Strong enough to float a railroad spike! Look for it on your local grocery shelves today!

Sir Ollivander's next Challenge is to write a catchy product jingle, and produce a commercial advertisement where Harry and Ginny sing the praises of the coffee. Just think of it! The Wierd Sisters can do the music; we can have a chorus line of tutu-wearing toadies; Harry and Ginny can dance on the kitchen table while sipping the dark roast! The Challenge-winning entry can be posted on line, and the winner will receive a year's supply of the coffee. I for one am excited with the idea.



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.03 - 08:50AM to say:

M_And - sorry for the confusion. I meand the other Difference.



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.03 - 08:54AM to say:

Seriously, folks (Merlin's mis-matched socks, did I really just type that??!!), four stories and four categories. A no-brainer? However, if any story doesn't appear to live up the be very good in a category, the category could easily go unfilled.



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2009.05.14 - 04:06PM to say:

Great Gadfrey! I've had to endure gangs of Columbian coffee elves on my front lawn, trying to enlist SIYE for their advertising. I've stood firm however--I've given them Sir Ollivander's address.

I am now fairly certain (yes I admit it) that I am wrong about the subject for the next Challenge. I'm at a loss...unless it involves polka music. Hmm..?
