There was so much material created in AVC05 that it is astounding--especially since so much of it was so damned good. So cutting back is fine, but not
too much. The comp. should not appear 'small'. It was tough on everybody, but it was
big.

I hestitate to comment about this because I do not have an objective viewpoint. But AVC05 had the crits written by individuals. And it was a lot of writing. A lot. Of writing. None of us were prepared for the amount of time it took. But it was an honor. I would not have wanted to be compensated, my incentive was that I had accepted the task and wanted to do a good job, as good as the entrants did. Well, that's a hard hurdle to clear.
As for judges crits in the WIP stage, it has been suggested. I was careful to avoid posting in anyones WIP threads, though I read them. The arguement in favor is that it gives the entrants a chance to incorporate the judges advice in their piece, rather than leave it for 'next time'. I, for one, would be interested in what other people think about that subject, especially those of you that competed.
I also did not read other judges crits before writing my own. I wanted to respond to the entry, not the other judges. But sometimes judging is done in a room, so everybody talks, compares notes, fights for their favorites, etc. Neither is better, just different.
