Her Honor, Judge Fiorella

Judging for a romance-writing contest is harder than it sounds. Fio's prime directive is to help, which means she does her best to explain what the problems in the submission are--and maybe even make suggestions to rectify them.

It's a lot like marking papers in Fio's previous profession, and she even gives a grade. But the judging is anonymous, which means Fio is freer to critique as she sees fit and the critiquees can accept her words of wisdom or dump them, as they see fit.

And a good time was had by all.
