I'll take a look at it tomorow, Sarah!

Not exactly. I guess I fail to see any bias, since it would be no different than the artist asking someone else to crit it. I'm really confident in my ability to stay unbiased throughout judging, so helping a person improve their entry along the way won't make me feel more or less attached to the entry. Also, I am also letting people go ahead and edit their entries if need be before Saturday, so that kinda goes hand in hand with it.

So basically, if youd like to be critiqued because you're unsure or whatever reason you may, go for it! I'm going to be giving crits anyway, so why not try to further help people? :> but if you don't really want crits, then that's cool too. Its up to the individual, really. Anyway, someone else could very well learn something as well! That was also kinda part of the reason that I encourage you guys to feel like you can post WIPs and edit your entries, in order to hopefully help elicit some discussion. ^^
