[Ansteorra] Point Scores

[Alden Drake]

Isn't that the purpose behind Laurel's Prize Tourney?  No judging, just commentary, and lovely largess. :)

Subject: Re: [Ansteorra] Point Scores

I would like to go to an event where, instead of (or in addition to) an arts and sciences competition, there were an arts and sciences commentary instead.

I would like to set out what I've finished and/or am working on, and instead of a judge writing a score on a form, they speak to me instead, and tell me what they think. Saves paper and misunderstandings. :)

I think that the idea of a score is really daunting, whereas having a short conversation with a more learned person on a topic that I love doesn't seem scary at all. I know that I'd have to sit by my work and wait, as opposed to setting it down and walking away, but it would so be worth it! (Especially if there were a bunch of us. It would be like an artists luncheon, plus constructive advice hour. In other words, heaven!)

Anyway, there's probably something like this already, and I've just missed it... :)

Note: I'm NOT saying that we should do away with competition! I would just like to see this occasionally, in addition to the wonderful artistic activities that our kingdom already does.)
