The thing with the one-semi-per-judge approach is that it falls on its arse a bit if one of a group’s judges ends up with more than one really good book. Which I thought would be fairer to our authors (yes) and lessen the workload on our readers (absolutely fucking not). Instead, I (in my infinite wisdom) decided that we would go for a more flexible approach. We’ve still split our allocation up among our 7 judges, but this time around we aren’t going the one-semi-finalist-per-judge route. In terms of structure, however, we’ve done things a little differently this year. This year, our team features all of the same members as last year, but with some new additions! Belle and Calvin - both members of the Fantasy Hive’s team from last year - have joined myself, Adam, Devin Madson, Jared, and Kop in diving in to our 30-book allocation. For various reasons - some life-y things that you guys don’t care about, and others which will soon become apparent - I just… haven’t done that until now. So before we get started, I wanna throw in a quick apology for the radio silence between now and then, because that’s on me! I’m the guy responsible for getting all the stuff that our team has written on to the actual site. See, it turns out that this year’s SPFBO started way back in May. Hello hello! Hiu here, and welcome to The Fantasy Inn for another year of SPFBO reading and book-throwing.
