and I think the week-of-voting games with the reviews are entertaining in a similar vein as the WFCs themselves -- in the main round, everyone's working with the same theme and taking it in different directions; with the reviews, everyone's presenting their takes on the same stories, and it can be an interesting spectrum of reactions. More than once the comments on my stories (and often it's one of your comments) have sort of solidified why I feel vaguely dissatisfied about a piece, which is cool.

It's perverse, in a way, that I deliberately try to avoid things which would easily identify myself. It's probably easier for me as I don't diarise so much. I'm not sure whether it's an attempt to avoid personal writing cliches, or a desire for the writing to be sufficiently distinctive that it can be spotted without my name attached to it.

But for the week of voting game, the focus is much more on concealment - not giving away the personal connection to the piece.

Which is also why it's very cool you review every piece, no matter how hard it's tried to disguise itself or whether it fell in a bit of a heap. I usually crave feedback and heartily disagree with it :)
