That's kinda what we're doing. I'm asking members of the community to serve on the judges panel with me. Once I have the "format" nailed down, I'll be able to hand-pick people, give them the format for judging and whatnot, then leave the dm so that they can deliberate without me being involved in it. Until then, though, I'm happy to continue serving as a judge. I honestly just really enjoy it! haha

You are absolutely capable of writing great stories! Don't let the haters say otherwise. Take the constructive criticism and leave the nay-sayers, because you put up solid work! It was our pleasure to deliberate over your work and the work of your competitors, y'all really brought it this month!
