Sino-sino nga ba sila?

Jury #1: AnathemaCorpus

1. Ipakilala ang iyong sarili.

-AnathemaCorpus. Isang simpleng nagmamasid at nagsusulat sa tabi-tabi.

2. Ano ang hinahanap mo sa isang istorya?

-Mensahe at Puso.

3. Ano ang puwede mong maitulong sa mga kalahok?

5. Ano ang advice mo sa kanila?

Jury #2: lunatrix

1. Ipakilala ang iyong sarili.

-I'm Trix a.k.a. lunatrix. Isa po akong kabute. Fantasy is my favorite genre though I read all kinds of fiction regardless of the genre as long as it is really good. I have written several fantasy stories though currently I'm trying to explore other genre particularly those under speculative fiction.

2. Ano ang hinahanap mo sa isang istorya?

-Satisfaction. A story must satisfy its readers. It doesn't matter whether the outcome or the ending is not in accordance with what the readers wanted. It can be open-ended, a tragic ending, or a happy ending. As long as the story was delivered in a way that the reader will be compelled to think it was the best way to convey the story, then it means that the story is good.

3. Ano ang puwede mong maitulong sa mga kalahok?

-I can give pointers or advice on how to improve their work - if it needs improvement. Basically, I'll give them feedback which I hope they can use in their craft.

4. Kung may maibibigay kang hamon sa kanila na patungkol sa temang injustice, ano iyon?

-Dealing with injustice is debatable. It usually depends on what is perceived to be fair and just. My challenge for the writers is to explore what is deemed unjust and compel the readers - through their stories - to believe on the kind of injustice they are portraying. On top of that, since the sub-genre is Political Fiction, I want the writers to be careful on treading the lines of "injustice" relative to the sub-genre required.

5. Ano ang advice mo sa kanila?

-Let your imagination flow.

Jury #3: porcupinestrongwill

1. Ipakilala ang iyong sarili.

-I'm Abigail Bagabaldo, or Porcupine "Porcey" Strongwill as people from the Wattpad community know me. I write mostly fiction, but the sky is blue though it's drizzling. Also, I love milk-coffee, and I suffer tremendously from the Resting Bitch Face Syndrome.
