... Oh, wow. I did not expect that. I quite honestly didn’t think it was that great an entry, but seeing how everyone voted for it I suppose others thought differently, and I suppose that’s what counts. Congratulations, Voltin~! So, yeah. I’m the writer of “The Story of Prisca Glover”, in case it wasn’t obvious. I was quite proud of it, and believed it stood an honest chance of winning (which I do not always believe about my entries) even before I knew what kind of entries it faced against. While it would appear I didn’t get a single vote, I’m still satisfied since I got some good response. That’s all a writer could ever ask for, right? Heh-heh. [hider=Neobullseye]Thanks for complimenting my writing. I never really considered how well one could connect to the character and focused on just writing a tale a woman like that would go through. So, yeah. And I find a written laughter to be a lot more engaging to read than just a blank text of “she laughed”, hence how I wrote it. On that note, I don’t think a written sigh would have that effect and I would therefore not use one- (goes and checks) ---- oh, I used one. Huh. Hmmm. OK, then. Haha.[/hider] [hider=Kaga]It warms my writer’s heart to hear that you in any way “love” anything I have done, be it the way I used a component or otherwise. Thank you. Though, as for the “plot hole” which you’re referring to, I do not consider it one. You’d be surprised by the amount of things that can go unknown by the sheer assumption that nobody asked. Heck, I didn’t know one of my best friends had a sister until well into my third year of knowing him when he mentioned going somewhere with his sister. In this case, Prisca had never bothered to find out where Elliot lived, and he had assumed she knew. As Elliot’s tasks were limited to just dropping off what she needed at her doorstep and leave afterwards, they didn’t exchange that much information, and while they spoke at times on the phone or while he visited, it would usually be about Prisca they were talking. Elliot’s place of residence simply hadn’t come up. As such, I do not consider it a plot hole, more of a plot convenience created to instigate an amusing situation. Haha. Thank you for complimenting.[/hider] [hider=PlatinumSkink]What you wrote about not being inspired any emotions and that the story didn’t absorb you was a lie in order to excuse not voting for yourself. Though, looking for errors was technically not wrong, because you were worried you had made mistakes. Hahahaha. Now down with you.[/hider] [hider=mdk]Thanks~ I feel happy to be able to write something you could find interesting~ I’m not entirely sure which parts exactly would need work, and in what way, but thank you regardless, and I shall do my best! … Heh. And about that. There’s a level of care in my writing of Prisca, eh? Different from my writing of other characters? Possibly. This is certainly not a biography, I’d be damned if I lived like that, but yeah, some of the emotions which she feels are based on things I’ve felt in the past. Except, I bumped them up to eleven and made a story based on it. I needed a job for her she could do from home, and a writer simply worked, according to me. But, eh… Haha. Thanks for saying so. It feels special, in some way, not really sure how. Thanks.[/hider]
