We've definitely seen more. Seems Keyguy hasn't graced us with his textual assault. Who am I to talk, though, I've provided my own!

EDIT: Wait, never mind, one of these might be Key after all. Silly me.

@PlatinumSkink Not actually the intention, lol. That's just the order they came into the PM box.

@RomanAria I figured. It makes sense, too, the longer ones took longer to write so they ended up later. Not always the reason why (was also because I was a lazy ungf who didn't start writing until time was almost out XD), but, heh. It's just that it made for an amusing effect. XD

@Silver

I was well aware that the Game of Thrones connection was going to be made. I decided it was unavoidable so I simply owned it. I'm just rather fond of all things snow and wolves! Lol.

And, wow, thank you for the high praise. That's a real great way to start my evening!

And own it you sure fucking did.

Nothing that wasn't firmly deserved. My pleasure!

I'll also be putting up some reviews later this evening.

@Silver Thanks for the encouraging review (I wrote A Reason To Go On). I really felt like I had botched it and rushed it too much to the point where it was meaningless nonsense, but you just made me feel loads better, so thank you. EDIT: Also, I've been told multiple times that the best parts of my story can be the dialogues; I'm even surprised you said so in this story which didn't have as much as I usually include. Hmmm. Maybe I should just write plays.

GASP HAS ANYONE SUBMITTED A PLAY BEFORE?

HMMMMMMMMMMM SO MUCH HMMMM

My random comments on the entries, for those who want them.















Most of these deserve recognition in one way or another, but the most? None stood out as the overwhelmingly most deserving. I will hold off on my vote a bit, and think about things. Hmmm.

I'll put this in a hider in case people don't want to read my response to the review before forming their own opinion

Oh, didn't know the community got to vote on the writing contest. Great!

Before I give my reviews on all entries except mine, I want to say thank you to @Silver, @PlatinumSkink, and @Dark Wind for the awesome and in-depth criticisms on Twilight Ultimatum. It's always great to be able to hear what I can improve on, especially from so many different viewpoints.

As well, due to confusion concerning the poem, I provided a small hider below detailing all of the Norse references in the writing and some more explanation. Please feel free to read this explanation before or after voting, but remember that you are voting for the poem ultimately, not the clarification.

I didn't know the community got to vote on it either, that will teach me for not reading the fine print. I realise that it might not be the done thing to leap to one's own defence when it comes to reviews, but your review touched upon one of those things I was actually quite nervous about just after hitting the send button.

Ahhhh. Guys. I don't know what to choose. I've settled between '34 Seconds' and 'Ashes of Illium'. They're both high quality in two different ways. Lawd Jaysus, the decisions you have to make sometimes.

In the end, while I truly adore the emotional/thematic impact of '34 Seconds' carried in such efficient word use, my @vote goes to 'Ashes of Illium' for a well-thought and satisfying story amongst the ranks of historical fiction. No easy task, but you did it, creating a story that was clean, well-worded, and filled with character and emotion.

Seriously, great work to the two of you, the choice came down basically to a coin toss.

Ok, wow, you know what? I completely forgot to update the sidebar telling people to vote.

What a goof.

Good thing I remembered to correct that a bare five/four days before the deadline when doing so least matters.

Well, I managed to squeeze in reading and reviews. Miracles really do happen. Disclaimer: my reviews may not be helpful at all, but I hope you find comfort in the fact that I liked all the entries and had something to say for each.









EDIT: Oh what the hell! I somehow missed "Unlucky Number"... I'LL BE ADDING THAT POSTHASTE.



Also, my vote should be soon. I need to reflect a little bit. I'm feeling a tad conflicted.
