Was a little late considering how little I had to read, but here are my opinions on the entries.

[hider=How to Make Them Equal]... I am immediately reminded as soon as I start reading that I already know how this is going to end due to the labour. Suppose the REAL labour is about how to take that and still make a good story. God knows I failed. Now, how did you do?

My, ain't you portraying the ideal leadership. Why does that feel like a dream too good to be true? Hah.

… Yeah, it was like that, wasn't it.

… Well. That's one depressing way to do it. It tells a story, which in a way is beautiful. It tells exactly what it needs to tell, nothing more, nothing less. A steady, perfectly paced flux taking place over many years towards an inevitable end. It reads well. Nicely done.

Though, I'd never read this for my own enjoyment. It's not an entertaining story to share and like. It just is. But, suppose that's fitting for the labour. I'll applaud this. Sigh. Oh, well.[/hider]

[hider=Forward]I'm a bit confused. Was there, like, a time-skip between each paragraph? He went very quickly from being amused to not being amused. Like, a single sentence with the explanation to why coming first after, which was rather jarring. But, as far as I can tell, there's this giant being/world or so that the people worship, but then they fight each other over it and eliminate themselves, pretty much? … Hm. Okay. Yeah, suppose that's about it.[/hider]

[hider=Going Home]I do still hope you pass. Even if you only got three hours to write. Now, let's read.

Oh. So because they were going to leave Ariana behind, Metzi burned the ship to punish them. But, by doing so destroyed Ariana's hopes of coming home. So, like, the ship was her link to her world, and it was destroyed. … … … Like that? Well. I certainly see how you came to that reasoning.

The writing is as good a quality as always, despite the lack of time you wrote the entry on. These are characters that I feel I wouldn't have minded to learn more about. Alas, circumstances are circumstances and inspiration doesn't come when we want it. But, for what it resulted in, good job. Haha.[/hider]
