David Farland (pen name for Dave Wolverton and he has published under both names), a writer and writing teacher, posted this on his Tumblr. It is basically just lists of questions for each aspect of the story that you can use in looking at how your story might play to a judge or other audience. Still going through it and digesting it, but thought it might be of interest with a comp underway here. And it might be a helpful tool when you're working through a story or story idea in general. Thoughts welcome.
