One of our Four Judges has resigned, and some Traffic Numbers
Unfortunately, our long-term contest judge Christian McKay Heidicker has told us he is unable to judge this summer’s contest. He seems to be healthy, however, and we wish him the best.
Tara and I have made the necessary decision to continue without him– and that our remaining three judges plus fan voting still offer enough variety in identities, style preferences and literary tastes in order to maintain a balanced, multi-voice panel.

On some better news– here are the traffic numbers, three quarters through the contest:
In the last 44 days since
we announced the finalists on June 25th,
we have received 1,985 hits
from 881 unique IPs,
for an average of 44 visits every day!
Keep surfing through, as
the Omelet Maker by Ross West
publishes in one hour,
and throughout the rest of the contest–
including Fan Voting,
which begins August 23rd.
