Twin Travel Challenge (2008-3) Closed
A NEW WORLD’S RECORD!!!
SIYE’s 27th Challenge, “Twin Travel,” has received 35 story submissions, breaking the record of 28 stories by “Muggle Picnic (2005-2). All thanks to Domino’s brilliant suggestion. And, by the way, the deadline is here and the current Challenge is now closed. The judges have a lot of reading to do.

Judges
Since the beginning of Challenges, judges have always been anonymous. They have been “invited” to be a judge in a variety of ways, some examples are: being in the Top 25 for hits, winning a DSTA award, or having numerous stories posted on SIYE. I even had an open invitation once.

Judges have been encouraged to leave a Review when they judge a story. But to say they read your story for judging purposes is totally voluntary. To do so would expose himself or herself as a judge. Judges vary with every Challenge but I do have some excellent regulars. So, if you know a judge, please give them your thanks. If you don’t know one, feel secure in that they are out there and working hard judging your Challenge submissions. Some of the SIYE staff are routinely judges. So you probably know at least one or two.

Due to the overwhelming response to this Challenge, the judges will have 19 days to read and nominate their choices for Best Overall, Adventure, Time Travel, and Parenthood. So stay tuned for July 20th when all their hard word is revealed and the winners are posted.

It was fun writing for this challenge, really. ^_^ Hmmm...school, home and job. For some reason, I keep thinking of someone being home-schooled.

Great job everyone - there are a lot of great stories. Question for Sir Ollivander - Since there are so many really good stories, would it be possible to add a fifth judging category for Creative Interpretation? Just a thought.

School, home and job, hmmm? Someone is moving to Hogwarts to be a professor, methinks. Or maybe we are finally going to learn that McGonagall and Flitwick have been married all these years . . .

Good luck to the judges - I would not like to be a judge on this one - what a lot of stories there was!

I'm trying to figure out if the last chapter of my story was posted before the deadline. Either way, this challenge was so much fun. I'm glad it got the turn-out... good luck to everyone.
