Hello everyone! So I'll be making this post also on the books, but I'm debating on canceling the awards.... 
          Their is a lack of judges on some categories in need. I know it seems unfair, but I'm starting to lose hope on finding judges and it stresses me out. I don't have time to judge every category in need. 
          But to not be unfair, I'll also give out a comprise award to those categories. But for the categories with at least 1 judge, they'll still be judged. 
          Seeks fair? 
          If you'd like to help the categories get judges, I'd love that! If not, oh well... 
          I WANT to start judging as soon as possible! I'll probably give it 3 weeks max till judging starts! I'm done putting it off.

@Black-Willows As for the fanfiction awards, you need judges for the following:
            - Wings of Fire (1 story)
            - Warrior Cats (3 stories)
            - Star Wars (3 stories)
            - Pokémon (2 stories)
            - Percy Jackson (2 stories)
            - Game of Thrones (1 story)
            - Miscellaneous (3 stories; it states that you have one judge but I can't find it)
            - Crossover (2 stories)
            - Upon Wings of Change (1 story)
            - Maze Runner (1 story)
            
            This makes for a total of 19 stories (I'd maybe put categories with only one entry in the miscellaneous category).
            
            Here, I could judge Percy Jackson and Pokémon for you, so 4 stories. You'd have 15 left that still need judges. Again, if that would be of help to you, contact me.

@Black-Willows Correct me if I'm wrong, but you could use judges for:
            - Action/Adventure (1 story)
            - Horror (4 stories)
            - Short Story (8 stories; you had judges but both stepped down, correct?)
            - Mystery (5 stories)
            - Sci-Fi (3 stories)
            - Thriller (5 stories)
            - Other (12 stories)
            - Crime (2 stories)
            
            That makes for a total of 40 stories that don't have a judge assigned yet.
            
            Personally, I could help out with the judging of Action/Adventure, the non-mature Short Story entries (that's 6/8), the non-mature Mystery entries (that's 4/5) and Sci-Fi. That would be a total of 14 stories, leaving you with 26 other stories that still need judging. If that would be of help to you, please contact me on discord (xxfaylinexx) to discuss things.

@Black-Willows I'm fine either way. It looks like my categories are safe, so there's that, but you could also see about pooling the categories that don't have judges and splitting them between the judges you have. Like, say you have 15 books without judges, and you have five judges, give them each 3 books from that pool. Of course, with fanfiction, you'd have to make sure participants are aware their judge may not be familiar with their fandom, but I think most people would be fine with that.

@jennyprof Yup! I had to go over some questions first and set some rules :3
            Dove was the one who came up with the idea to have some help with the account. It is a very smart idea! I might get some more help out in the future, but we'll see what things will be like in the future!
