Round 2 PvP Results

It gives me great pleasure to say that most of you got this one wrong. Entry #2 was the Pubble - 

 The Tales of Tanglewood: The Lon Dubh Whistle by Scott Michael Kessman, a 4.5/5 star book. Of course, both short snippets, but I think it's evident our volunteer this week's quite competent.

If anybody's interested in participating, please email us at BaneOfAnubis@gmail.com. 

And, once again, many thanks to our test subject for submitting his/her piece for comparison.

Round 1 PvP Results

So, a little more than half chose the correct answer from yesterday's match, which was The Lark and the Wren (Bardic Voices: Book 1) by Mercedes Lackey.... and was Entry #2.

Now, as Anita Saxena commented last week, we can't really draw full-bodied conclusions by comparing two short snippets, but hopefully we can at least see that the difference in writing quality between pubbles and plebes might not be as discrepant as some might believe (or at least in this case). Let's go picket Random House just for fun :).

Now, since this is an experiment and our first run at it, we'd like to get feedback to improve our process. Any suggestions for improvement (e.g., expanding to 500 words, which would be roughly 2 pages worth) are greatly appreciated. Or, if you think this totally sux, we'd like to know that, too.

Also, we've got a couple more volunteers lined up, but the more the merrier. If you're interested, please email us at BaneOfAnubis@gmail.com. 

And, finally, many thanks to our first test subject for submitting his/her piece for comparison.

Small Print PS: regarding punctuation, please keep in mind that some transcription errors may occur (which we, of course, will try to spot, but once we go to post, we'll leave a piece as is) and, as a couple of people mentioned, punctuation usage varies among authors (heaven knows I wanted to put several more commas in The Hunger Games).
