Man /lit/ is really filled with fedora tippers. I mean it's been 91 posts and you guys still haven't found out the core reason why OP didn't win. First off OP you probably pulled some DFW shit that flew right over the judges' heads. I mean look at them, they're all famous but what credentials do they have? Resident Evil, for christ sakes. They're looking for pleb shit, OP. They're looking for Stephen King, not fucking Dostoevsky. Also, the judges definitely don't care about this contest. They have better things to do, like act and make money and do drugs. They probably just got asked to do this by some autistic librarian (like you) and felt bad so they accepted. The way they see it, they're just giving money away as sort of a friendly prize, this isn't some balls to the wall "BEST SCI-FI WRITING EVER JUDGED BY THE MOST QUALIFIED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD" award. And who would they rather give the awards to, some weirdo creep who sits in his basement studying the technical aspects of writing just trying to make a buck or some nice school girls going through puberty blues who would actually appreciate this kind of prize? The way you responded to this rejection shows that you are book smart but you don't have any common sense. Know your audience and know thyself OP. Greetings from /fit/
