A Quick Bite by The Burning Roses for the Judge's Pick Category.

(http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2329708/1/A_Quick_Bite)

Note To Judges:

You don't have to submit your "Judge's Pick" story immediately, just somtime before the end of the season.

I know I shouldn't have to say it, but I know someone will ask: Only judges can nominate a story for the "Judges Pick" category and you are only allowed to submit one story.

Also, judges, I do encourage leaving reviews, but it is not mandatory. Though if you do choose to leave a review, please make it constructive, I do not support flaming. It is your choice whether or not you want to make the author aware that you are their judge.

I'd like your decisions with a short explanation supporting your decisions when you finish reading the story, not while you're reading and not at the end of the season. Also you must read the entire story. Don't forget to post the read story in the "Judged Stories" thread

I want to nominate Lob Omen by Malicious Squirrel for Best Were-animal Story and Best Written.

I want to nominate Road to Retirement by Dead Not Sleeping (me) in Best One Shot

Moderator's note: Please don't post your summaries or how good you think it is; that isn't necessary. Also, we don't want to sway the judges by telling them they should like the story because others do.

Secondly, remember that our categories have changed. They are listed with their judge's at the top of this forum, please take the time to look at them before you post.

I would just like to say that we have less than one week left to nominate!! So make sure you have entered all of those you support. At 11:59 PM April 5th PST, the nominations thread will close and you will not be able to nominate anyone until the next season. Please remember, the season is not over until April 30th, when the winners are announced.

Judges: I have had 2 of you request a list of the stories you have to read. If you have asked for a list, but have not received one, please tell me and I'll respond as soon as I can.

Note for Everyone: I will be out of touch from Friday April 3rd until around 5pm Sunday April 5th. Nothing will change except that I will not be able to reply to messages right away and the FPSSA website will not be updated until I get back.

Also, I am still looking for people that can do banners and people that can work with CSS. But I will not be taking judging applications until the season is over. Also, those who have already submitted an application this season for next season, please remind me who you are.

Lastly, please remember to subscribe to the FPSSA community (http://www.fictionpress.com/community/The_FPSSA_Winners/2185/) to find out right away who the winners are each season!
