Some people have been PMing us about how the judging will work. We will judge the first ten chapters (this does not include author's notes). We will give each chapter a score of 0-100. Then we will get an average of all of the chapters, and the story with the highest average will win.

A piece of advice is: check your grammar. Points are counted off if you have a lot of grammar mistakes.

We have added your stories to our library, so if your story is updated, we will be able to be notified it, and we will I read and give it a score.

If you have any questions, please comment them in the "Questions" section.

Thank you, and good luck—The Golden Pen Awards team.
