They didn't really ask much, that's the thing. I think maybe a question on wing construction? hoshikage made sure to point out the embroidery, but I don't think she even got into the challenges of fitting some of our more oddly-shaped members. And honestly, I'm not arguing the award; I do feel that we did a solid job on our construction. I'm certainly not arguing the judges' competence. I guess it's more a case of the time crunch removing what I'm used to as far as workmanship judging goes. I'm used to the slower-paced "tell me about your costume/how did you make it/how did you achieve this effect" questioning from the judges. This felt like a breeze passed through, ruffled the edges of our costumes, and was gone almost before we had a chance to realize it was there. Just... bizarre in its absence. I'm feeling better about it all now that I've had more sleep, though. ^_^
