So, this is where, if you're interested in becoming a judge, you let me know. There are no special qualifications that you have to meet to become a judge. All you need is to have a love for Puzzleshipping and be willing to read all of the nominees that we are provided. You must be open-minded to all possible stories including Yaoi, Incest, MPreg, or anything else. JUDGES MUST BE UNBIASED IN THEIR DECISIONS!

So, let me know asap.

Hi Hikari-and-Yami,

I would like to become one of the judges for your forum. Let me know if you would still like anyone.

Thanks,

shadowrealm818

Yes, of course! Welcome to the judging panel! Just in case you are unaware, a judge can nominate a story as well under the nominees thread. I will gather the entire judging panel at the end of the month to make our decisions.

Welcome aboard!

*jumps up-and-down* YEEEEK!!ME ME ME! I would looooove it sooooo much if I could be ajudge! I am totaly un-biased! *smiles* Being a judge would be simply FABULOUS! (lol) Just send me a message if you choose me to be a one!

I love Puzzleshipping, and I am willing to read whatever is available. I am not picky, I read anything! Especially Yaoi between RyouXbakura and JoeyXseto and YUGIXATEM!!! Yay! Please notify me ASAP if you choose me as a judge.

Thank you so much!- Cassie (MangaReader18)

Welcome aboard Cassie!

And welcome to the judging panel. As I'm sure you've already read, I will bring the judging panel into session at the end of the month. After we read all the nominees, then you can cast your vote! I'll let you know deadlines and all that once I've figured it all out. As a judge you can still nominate your favorite Puzzleshipping story under the nominees thread. There is no rule that you cannot vote for the story you choose in the beginning. This is an opportunity for both readers and judges to explore the many different Puzzleshipping stories that fanfiction has to offer. After reading all of the nominees at the end of the month, if you decide that the story you nominated is still your favorite then by all means vote for it but hopefully this will give people the chance to find new stories that people noiminate that eventually become their new favorites!

Like I said, I'll let you know all the details soon! Once you find your favorite story, feel free to nominate it under the nominees section.

Glad to have you on the panel!

I would love to be a judge! I'm very open minded to anything someone writes no matter what it is. It's my absolute favorite pairing after all! X3. Thanks so much!

Welcome BlackCatTrain to the judging panel!

Like I stated above I'll let all the judges know the deadlines and such once I've figured it all out. As a judge you are also allowed to nominate your favorite story under the nominees section of this forum. Glad to have you on board!

Hi there! I'd like to become a judge too, if you still need people. ^-^

Of course! Welcome to the judging panel!

As a judge you can still choose your favorite story to nominate under the nominees section of this forum. At the end of the month, I'll gather the judging panel so that we can read, decide, and vote.

All deadlines and such will be messaged to the judges so I'll let you know everything once I do.

Glad to have you on board!

Sure, I don't mind being a judge. I'm open minded to all sorts of things. I usually only read M/MA-rated fanfiction, though, for numerous reasons.

Are you willing to read other rated fics though such as T or K+?

Yes, although I'll be honest in saying I am probably better at judging stories that are M+. The stories I nominate will no doubt be M rated, although there are two or three I have which are rated less than that, which I've found good.

Alright. As long as you're willing to judge any nominees we receive that are under M fairly then WELCOME ABOARD! :) Glad to have you! As I'm sure you've read, I will call the judging panel into session at the end of the month. I will message judges about deadlines and such as soon as I figure it all out.

As a judge you can still nominate your favorite story under the nominees section of this forum. Can't wait to see your nominee!

Welcome once again!

That's fine by me. I guess I better re-read some of my favourites/and or scan them and see if I can nominate one. Thank you. ( ^ ^ )~

Yes! This is great! I love this idea! Can I be a judge?? *jumps up and down* Please? I'm always looking for more puzzleshipping stories to read. I'll read any kind of story. XD

Great! Glad to have you on board!

I'll be sure to send you all the details about deadlines and such once I've figured it all out. As a judge, you can still nominate your favorite story under the nominees section of this forum.

Welcome to the judging panel!

Just so everyone is aware, I posted deadlines on a separate thread. Make sure you take a look at it, both Judges and readers.

I would like to be a judge if you still have an opening available. Let me know! Thanks, Nik

And since I'm such an idiot, I forgot to ask if we could vote for fics that are on other sites (such as AFF or the other one - I forget the name...). Let me know. Thanks! Later

Are judging positions still open? *looks extremely hopeful* If they are I would LOVE to be one! I'm in the middle of a Yugioh writing contest myself and the pairings change every round. I miss my boys! *hugs Yami and Yugi* I'm open to reading everything as long as it's tastefully done! If I can be a judge please let me know!

Thanks,

YG

I was going to ask the same thing as Tavia, actually. Considering there are two particularly amazing fanfiction on MediaMiner that I'd definitely nominate.

Welcome tavia454 and YG to the judging panel! Glad to have you both on board. As I'm sure you both are aware, you can also nominate a story under the nominees section of this thread.

And great question! I didn't even think about other websites. But why not? The point is to find the Best Puzzleshipping Story so other websites (such as AFF or Mediaminer) are welcomed as well. Just make sure that if its not from this site, you post the name of the story, the author, and what website you got it from. That way when I post the nominees, I can put links for the Judges so that it's easier to find.

There is only one Judge spot left so if you're interested, let me know asap!

If that judge spot hasn't been taken yet, I'd definitely be interested in requesting to fill it. :)

Okay, so, hi. I'm iSparrow, but everyone calls me Lady or Megan. I'm a puzzleshipping freak but I try not to let it show in daily life because I'd probably scare people off. I mostly love writing stories, but I look for any excuse I can to read others' - so I'm always on the look-out for decent fics to read and review.

I'm a little picky on what I personally write but I try to not let that get in the way of what I necessarily read. If nominated, I would be fine with reading stories containing what's considered to be sore subjects with some (yaoi, incest, etc)...

Oh, and the whole 'unbiased' thing. Well, what comes first to me is the writing. It always has and it hopefully always will.

This sounds like a neat opportunity to snag, so if it's possible, I hope I can take it. Cheers!

If you still want to be a Judge but there are no more spaces then still let me know by posting on here. That way, if I decide to rise the number of Judges needed, or if one of the current Judges resign, then I know who's interested. Thanks guys!

I would LOVE to become a judge i read all kinds of stories and i love puzzleshipping not to mention puppyshipping anyway i would like to become a judge in this contest please and thankyou

Thanks for the interest! Glad to hear from you, icefox26! So, the February nominees list just closed and the current Judges are off for the next two weeks reading them and voting. Right now, I have ten (including myself). On the deadline of the voting, I'm going to see if ten Judges are going to make a sufficient number or not. So, I'll let you know as soon as that deadline, which is March 8th at midnight, if we in need for some extra Judges! Talk to you soon! Thanks again!

Well, Reena and Asteroid, there are two opens spots!! Still interested??

Just let me know when deadlines are and where i go to cast my vote, andf I'd be more than happy to join, I've already nominated a story for the November 2009 nomination. :)
