No offense taken at all (you have fair points that are perfectly understandable). And I accept, acknowledge and respect your right to an opinion. Maybe there should be a poll at the end, maybe there shouldn't. Your idea is valid, and I perfectly understand your need for concern.

That being said, I do need to get my two cents in.

As far as preparedness goes: I have evaluated the situation for both time and workload, allocated time accordingly, made various copies of marking keys I will be using for this contest, revised the original story 'Jeff the Killer' (narrowing it down to its basic components) and am currently in the process of talking to friends and acquaintances I know who are fans of 'Jeff the Killer' and generally getting their point of view of the story and why it works/is a success, as well as what would absolutely kill the story (it's good information to know, but won't be used to sway my overall analysis).

Although this account is relatively young (how did you describe me, a casual member was it?) and has an edit count of below 200, I've been reading Creepypasta ever since my attention was first brought to it by works such as 'Marble Hornets' (Slenderman) and Jadusable's 'Haunted Majora's Mask Cartridge' (aka 'BEN DROWNED'). And this was as both ARGs/AREs/Vlogs were a few months in. I don't blame you for judging me by my account (trust me, if I were you I'd have doubts as well), but please understand that I am way more experienced than you give me credit for. Also please understand that both my account's age and edit count does not invalidate me or my relevancy as a judge in this competition (I'm not easily offended, and I truly believe you meant no offence).

Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to judging such an interesting and exciting competition! I look forward to reading all contributions with baited breath.

Good luck in your writing adventure!
