irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

I'll grade the essays if you'd like.

I have a degree in English, and I worked as a writing tutor for a couple semesters back in college.

However, I also submitted my own essay in the contest.  If I grade, I will take myself out of the competition.  I'll judge impartially based on grammar and spelling only. 

Let me know if you'd like me to do the grading!

Spelling is important in creative writing. Grammar, for the most part, in regards to comma splicing and other various forms of punctuation are largely left to creative license. The only correct way to grade any piece of creative writing is for spelling errors. Even an incomplete sentence can be correct in creative writing.

For example:

He knew what was coming. Death. He walked down the dark hallway towards the door. His breath quickened. He reached for the door knob. Heat. Fire. His eyes widened as he knew the way of his demise. He gritted his teeth. Burning.

"Such a horrible way to die," he thought to himself before smiling and opening the door. Letting death in.

----

The above little snippet I just wrote is 100% grammatically correct according to typical creative writing rules. I added in several incomplete sentences and even a run on, but it's still correct.



Edit: If you would like for me to grade them I will. I have taken three collegiate level creative writing courses. Got 2 A's and a B. I changed majors away from English with a creative writing concentration since I didn't want to work at Starbucks, but I still love writing.

That is true Kutt.  It poses some problems for grading.  Perhaps the content of the essays themselves are important.  Did the author intend a creative writing piece, or a more formal essay?  At least we can go on spelling/punctuation for the most part.

Whoever is chosen to grade might have to consult Looshus on this, unless he is too busy to be bothered with such "drivel" and trusts the grader to use their best judgement.
