Not trying to flame or be a troll. I didnt participate in the contest cause my writing is bad, and maybe other people arent aware of the same flaw at their skills, but lets try to at least keep the criticism at a friendly tone no?

Not everybody can crap out in 5 seconds like some artists do at their posts. I see that we have tons of experience at gotwoot about short story contests? or maybe we all are book editors, or even writers! How rare that just barely a dozen of the lots of best selling writers that lurk this place took part...

Too many PRO cirtics in my opinion. I find it unnecesary to give opinion words like: serious lack of effort, plainly suck, writers are morons, they crap out storys. And some other highly elaborated arguments.
