The Lodestar Contest

Thank you so much for making the 2023 round of the Lodestar a success! I cannot wait to dive in and read all these stories!

There are no rules about editing your items; you're free to do that with no penalties. I open each story in its own tab on my computer (after the deadline) and don't reload/refresh until judging is done.

In my dream world, I'd have results out by the end of this weekend. More realistically, results should be out by the end of the weekend after that. (Sunday, March 12th.) I'll give y'all an update on judging in a week, right here in this forum. There'll probably be whining in that post, but I hope not.
