KrisElevenTopic: Meet the Judges
Current Judges Ally-Marty Judge- Summer 2009, Winter 2009/2010 "Hi! I'm Allene, or Ally. I'm a 'stay-at-home' mom from the suburbs of Washington, D.C. and I graduated from high school two years before Tamora Pierce started publishing the SotL series. When I was a teen (obviously long before this website existed), I wrote thousands of pages of stories and poems. My high school son and middle school daughter inspired me to write again and I've completed several fanfiction stories within the Tortallverse. Kel's adventures really resonate with me, probably because I graduated from West Point and I've been to war, too. I'm currently working on a novel of my own, but I still love to read great stories here." KrisEleven Judge- Winter 2008/2009, Summer 2009, Winter 2009/2010 "I’m Canadian and am currently a university student— although that might change if I keep spending all my time on ff.net instead of studying… Tamora Pierce’s works were what first got me into fanfiction, so I’ve been wandering around this fandom for a while now and I’ve managed to get up work for both fandoms and four of the categories. The Ficship Competition is my baby on this site and I hope you all enjoy what we are offering here.” lionesseyes13 Judge- Winter 2009/2010 "I’m Lionesseyes13, but most people on this website call me Lioness. I was born and raised in a suburban town in New Jersey. Now I am attending a liberal arts college in Maryland, where I am majoring in English and Education. I spend a remarkable amount of time reading and writing fanfiction, and I have original pieces of writing that tend to fall at the wayside as a result. Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors, which means that I have been reading TP fanfics for years, even though I only started posting mine last year." Starzgirl Judge- Winter 2009/2010 "My name is Starzgirl and I have a huge love for Tamora Pierce books. I've been lurking around Tamora Pierce fanfiction since 2006 and have practically read everything in the old archive (KD pairings anyway). I wrote my first fanfic in 2007 and have been writing ever since! Since then I have expanded my activity to become a moderator of three Tamora Pierce-related forums (where I post something almost daily) and now I am honored and excited to become a judge for the Ficship competitions! I am always eager to hear from anyone whether it's regarding my fics, Tamora Pierce books, or just to talk (though I do tend to easily get off topic! Beware!). Though I have a busy schedule I try my best to get back to you as soon as possible! Feel free to message me anytime :D " Sweet Sassy Sarah Judge- Winter 2008/2009, Summer 2009, Winter 2009/2010 "I'm Sarah, I live in the Northeastern US. I'm a freshman in college, I'm an insomniac, I love Tamora Pierce, and I am completely and madly in love with Briar. So far I've written four Circle fics and two Tortall fics, with plans for at least four more Tortall fics and one more Circle fic." xxTunstall Chickxx Judge- Winter 2008/2009, Summer 2009, Winter 2009/2010 "I'm Claudia, called Claudes by most. I'm Canadian and between freezing every freezable part of my body; I write fanfiction. Fanfiction is the most important part of my life. I just put up my 50th piece of writing. I write whenever I can whilst juggling environmental activism and piano, viola and guitar, sadistic teachers and annoying friends. I've been addicted to Pierce for months (almost a year) and don't know where I would be without her books." | #1 Dec 14th 2008, 2:01pm . Edited Dec 14th, 12:04pm | |
