[AOTM] The August Contest [Updated: FINAL SCORES]

[Herr Mullen]

I deceived someone too. ^_^ I like tricking people, and I think my deception there shows something about my progression of style and skill. And this over the last year, which has been largely unproductive in regards to my writing.

Mullen, you complimented me and I promise that I return it in kind, so don't think it goes unappreciated, but I. . . am not. . . a girl. You said Tenderness sounded most promising, and my, if you thought me a woman in my way of writing it, I surely must have met, or exceeded, your expectations for it.

You have really studied the points in Of Sex Scenes and Storytelling, haven't you? It was one of the best sexual encounters I have read, but I still thought Miyako was off.

As a hint on scoring, I think two particular pieces will be in very close competition -- indeed, the winner at this point relies entirely on the scores of one reviewer, and two are so close that. . . Oh, I quiver at thinking of which entry will win.

How is the scoring done? Mean, or Median?

Concidering that, what, four of the peices were written by judges and were therefore had one reveiw discounted, Median would make the most sence as it doesn't matter how many reveiws the story had.

Or do you do it by fractions? Add up all the scores, then standardise the denominator?
