WE ON ─ TIPS AND RANTS

｜ KNOW YOUR JUDGE

You going to take part in contest? Wait- do you know who's your judge?

So guys today I'm here with a very important topic of my rant- 'Know your Judge'. Now don't read Fudge instead lol.

Back to the topic-

We all have participated in various award books, contests and graphic wars from time to time as soon as we got to know about these things in wattpad (other than the Watty's obviously). Sometimes we won and sometimes we didn't.

Lets be honest here first- to how many of you guys it matters to win a rank or a place? Isn't it always all about v0t*s and r*@ds? (wattpad gets triggered at this words lol XD)

But whatever it is, today I'm gonna discuss regarding the ones to whom winning does matters.

...

When you participated with a hope and excitement to at least score a good position in the awards and you got a worse of a number and review from the judge in your first award participation, how will you feel? Worse, right? It feels like your story is a trash and nothing, right?

Then after sometime you participated in another award and won the 2nd place all of a sudden and got the best review ever of your life...then will this question never cross your mind that how you won in this award and not in the other one? 

If the story is same, all things are still same in the book...how tf is it possible for a book to win in one award and not in the other one??? Then is the judge biased or the host??

If anyone reading this might've hosted an award or might've judged in an award, tell me how is that shit possible without BIASNESS controlling the whole shit! I'm sure that a person with a right mind can NEVER answer to this question and will naturally get into confusion and suspicion.

But again, your book might've just picked the interest of one judge and not the other, which again doesn't defines the fact how good your book actually is. Not every reader must like your book.

So the whole point is- people's choices, ideas and liking differ. Therefore, a judge should choose to only judge a book they're comfortable with, I mean the genre and theme. Mind you- NOT EVERYONE IS COMFORTABLE WITH EVERYTHING. And these things matter when you're judging a book. Also writing style matters too. 

Suppose if you write a Mystery-Thriller book in a Teen Fiction style then trust me or not, but you'll gain less Mystery-Thriller lover readers and more Teen Fiction lover readers.

That's why at first we need to know who actually is gonna judge the book. Sometimes the judge themselves aren't good of a writer but only a reader and I honestly don't think that all readers can actually judge a book with better constructive and destructive criticisms than a writer. Yeah they can definitely give a good review based on their likes and dislikes but not critiques for you to learn and perfect those parts in detail. 

So these kind of people don't qualify to be a judge in my opinion. And if that person don't even have the qualification for that job how can a host allow such people to be a judge? Isn't it an example of the irresponsibility of the Host as well?

Trust me, loads of questions will arise in this topic which got no answers practically.
