judge's rules:

i. be as objective as possible. don't score a book higher just because it's your friend's book. if you find it hard to be unbiased towards your friend and i have assigned their book to you, let us know immediately.

ii. put this book into your library and public reading list for both updates AND promotion. your password for the judge's form is the number of letters your current username have.

iii. you are allowed to vote and comment on the works you're judging. however, this is totally compulsory and you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

iv. follow this account ( hwngsie ) for updates.

v. be active as there will be random active checks from this account.

vi. if you are also a participant, you are not allowed to apply as a judge position on the category you've applied your books in.

vii. you are only obligated to read at least 5 chapters of each book you're judging but you can read more if you want ( aesthetics, playlist, intro, character's cast, etc. don't count as 'chapters' because remember, you are judging their writing ability, not their ability to decorate. the only time you need to judge aesthetics is their covers. )

viii. submit your scores through PMs of this account by the deadline i give you or else your scores won't be counted and back-up judges will do your category for you instead.

ix. if you are inactive after 3 active checks and the last active checks before judging commences, your position will be given up and i will ask the participants to unfollow you as you are no longer their judge and they owe you no follows as payment.

x. acceptance of bribery will result in blacklisting.
