There were two aspects our judges seemed to respond to.
1) The stars of 'Wicked' story wasn't true "fan fiction" as it didn't extend the story, or play on it. (Plus, Wicked is dangerous turf for some people)
2) I posted the stories in the order that they were recieved. The first two are excellent "fan fictions", which give the second two a lot to live up to.
