My little opinions on the entries plus two short comments on my own entry. Assumes the reader has already read the entries, of course. In any case, yupp. [hider=The Breaking]Woah. That... was beautiful. Thank you. … Alright, that is most certainly someone who has no equal, interesting take on the challenge requirements. I assume this is that he overwhelmed his ”foe”. Impressively done. I like this. It feels so... natural. And yet, yeah... it had to end like that, didn't it. Too bad, really. Oh, well. Very, very nicely done. So much charm in this piece. I like it. Thanks for letting me read it.[/hider] [hider=Thomas' Last Proof]... Woh. Impressive. That was somewhat intense. You made a debate intense without actually writing them speaking, and then the stakes increased. It was fairly obvious what would happen, given the labour, but it was still intense. Nicely done. I'd say you accomplished the labour's requirements flawlessly. Well done.[/hider] [hider=Starbound]Hm. I wonder if I made it unnecessarily long? … Eh! That's how long it became when I wrote it! I did want it to end some other way, with the main character triumphing over the villain somehow after her death and resurection, buuuuut... That would have made the story unfathomably longer, and I didn't want to torture the judges by actually writing that long story! XD[/hider] [hider=The Dragon Queen]And that... appears to be a way to complete this challenge through the mortality route while still retaining a positive ending. I like it. Well done. The action felt a little like it was just there so she could be killed, it didn't really feel like the bad guy's success was justified, but eh, details. His motivations were as basic evil as it could get, too. Eh, I can't say too much on that front, with all likelihood. Regardless. I like it. Guess we'll see what Terminal says now, but I think you nailed it pretty well. Haha.[/hider] [hider=An Unfulfilled Challenge]... Alright. So, avoiding conflict with her sister, Ariana was forced to be exiled and then live a normal life. Yeah, that accomplishes one of the means of completing this labour. Though, we'll see what Terminal says. I spent the first half of the entry confused, though you cleared that up and I now know what was happening. But yeah, I didn't really have the time to enjoy what was going on. Now afterwards, I appreciate the situation you set up, the entry became better in my eyes after I was done with it compared to while I was reading it. I wonder what that means about the entry itself? Hm. Oh, well. It's rather nice, somewhat clever way of accomplishing the goal. Wonder if she's Mary Sue enough. Haha. In any case. I will say ”well done”. So. Well done.[/hider]
