(Maybe I am wrong.)<br /><br />Most of the stories were written by women. The people who selected the stories were also women.<br /><br />Forgive me, but I found it quite boring. :(Oxymoronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476290895680339395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-24272345295557650112010-02-01T22:29:59.029+08:002010-02-01T22:29:59.029+08:00I always knew Ezra had it in him to be our Simon C...I always knew Ezra had it in him to be our Simon Cowell.Amir Muhammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144421497045270238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-23524968520397431402010-02-01T22:11:16.487+08:002010-02-01T22:11:16.487+08:00The concept of the event was fantastic - thank you...The concept of the event was fantastic - thank you, British Council. Like Damyanti, I too wish it had been better organised - judging by the judges, rather than exclusively by the audience, many of whom had already gone home by the time the show ended. And yes, rules are rules and stories over the word limit shouldn't have been included simply because it was a contest.<br /><br />Having said that, the judges, especially Ardu and Ben were excellent - their comments, were spot-on; the instant cafe readers breathed magic into the stories.<br /><br />It was potentially a wonderful experience. And Shan - well done and congratulations!saras manickamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807715100572182506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-55348356944026207032010-02-01T08:51:57.237+08:002010-02-01T08:51:57.237+08:00The judge's comments were most helpful, and he...The judge's comments were most helpful, and helped me think about where I want to take Martha Falling.<br /><br />The event could be better-organised, however, because some of the stories went on for far longer than 1500 words.<br /><br />Also, there could have been a judge's voted category. Just so we would also know which one the experts thought the best (they had all read the stories beforehand),as well as the audience. The audience had a lot to remember, 14 stories read out over the course of an evening (and no print-outs to refer to).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283371140346602856noreply@blogger.com
