""The only difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to be credible."--Mark Twain
Here the blogger speaks of the plausibility of the short story, whether it is fantasy
or the so-called magic realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez: can it happen in the world of the living?
FOR THE RECORD
Theme, language and structure as criteria for blogger in evaluating the 18 entries in the Alex Yadao Ilokano Fiction Contest, the 4th edition. We didn't know whether the two other judges applied the same criteria but such measurement is a given in short fiction.
Anyway, after lengthy deliberations of the Board of Judges composed of Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili of the University of Hawaii at Manoa (chair); Linda Lingbaoan-Bulong of the University of the Philippines and Peter La. Julian, US-based creative writer and journalist (members), six writers emerged winners with corresponding cash prizes
The winners received their prizes and certificates on April 17-19, 2015 during the annual national convention of Ilokano writers in Quezon City in the Philippines.
