Hey y'all, ive had to unpublish Heliotrope as I want it to be professionally published eventually, andddddd i got a few creepy comments that rubbed me wrong.

@LemonLoaf - Agents and other professional types are unlikely to see Wattpad, Inkitt, etc publication as a barrier to first rights - it's not like self-publishing or publishing with a small indie press. It's more like sharing an ARC, especially since what gets posted on Wattpad and similar sites is usually not the polished final draft.
          	  
          	  That said, creepy comments suck, and I'm sorry you had them.
          	  
          	  I want to be one of your ARC readers before you launch. Could you please keep me in mind?

@LemonLoaf sure, how many entries are there and what am I judging on? Is there a rubric?

@eggywegggyi2 We can switch. Would be down to do Atmosphere, and I can do character?

@LemonLoaf  might be down? If I’m in character I’ll have to unfortunately pass

LOOKING FOR JUDGES FOR GOLDENROD AWARDS
          
          I would like to enlist two judges to help judge the Goldenrod Awards, as something has happened in my life, but I would still like to get this done quickly for everyone participating. If you are IN The Goldenrod Awards, you are still eligible to judge, just not the category you are in. I will be judging the category of Atmosphere, however I would like a judge for Worldbuliding and for Character. What I am looking for in terms of judging is in the Goldenrod Awards Book, and when the judges pick their winner, I will need to hear the reasoning behind why that one won and the other two did not. 
          
          Please reach out with questions!!

@LemonLoaf Worldbuilding Criteria (out of 60 pts.) 
            
            Immersion: Does it make me feel like I'm in the story? (15 pts.)
            
            Is it detailed?: Do I know how an ordinary person lives? (15 pts.)
            
            Are the rules of the world consistent?: Do magic systems have clear rules? Do kingdoms have clear rules? (15 pts.)
            
            Clarity: Does it have a lot of clarity without being too much? (15 pts.) 
            
            Is it smoothly integrated into the plot: Does the worldbuilding affect the plot at all?
