You know, it would be hard to choose the worst story. So many were so bad.

Oh no, I think I might have a few I could eliminate down through.

Said story being, of course, about 225 words long. ; )

Skimming a story once it's not enjoyable is something you learn very quickly when reading the slushpile of a fiction magazine...

oh yeah, I was good at it for slushing - its changing the mindset for recreation reading that was hard for me to do.

I'm really impressed by how much you've got through for the Aurealis judging, and the contribution you are making by doing that. Bravo!

Thanks. It's not been an easy undertaking, thats for sure!
