The Judges
The final five were sent to a panel of four judges: Demetrius, Eustatian, midnightshadow, and Thanqol. Their comments and individual rankings: http://goo.gl/ugN6p
Each judge ranked the final five from best to worst, 1st–5th. The scores for the finalists were calculated by the following: 20 – (sum of ranks). For example, a story that that was ranked 5th by all four judges would get a score of zero. Judge tally: http://goo.gl/Yn7BN
