My Judging Ways

Darkfic Writing Contest

Title.
It plays a big part in attracting readers.

Description/Foreword.
It plays a big part in attracting readers.

Flow.

Plotline.
I don't like reading cliché stories, to be honest.

Language.
Good grammar is appreciated but not necessary. As long as you know your nouns, I'm fine with it. Spelling and punctuations are important but minor mistakes are acceptable. I suggest you to use MS Word to avoid these kinds of errors.

Predictability.
I try to predict what will happen in every story that I read and I usually get it right. If you manage to throw me off guard, extra points for you.

Characters.
I can't stand perfect characters. Everybody has flaws.

 

 

Side Note: I added something to the Notes Corner in the foreword. Be sure to read it.

Dang when I finally find a contest to apply to, it's over D: Oh well, my story wouldn't have been that shrilling to be honest. I kinda lack in that scary area, though my dream is to write a scary story. Haha, maybe one day I manage to do that

Chapter 10: This was fun. (I've been mean to respond.) I'm glad you seemed to like it. That's for the karma and taking the time to read it~ :) And I'll keep writing. :)

Chapter 10: I'm sorry for the lateness. I've been away from AFF (though I do online sometimes) because wifi in my house was cut off and I had to wait like, a week for it to regain.

Anyway, I was surprised at the fact I won the third place. To be honest, the writing a lot; typos and grammatical errors scattered everywhere. I basically face-palmed myself when I read the chapters back the other day - that is why I was shocked.

Nevertheless, I am awfully delighted you picked my as the top three. I do understand your point. Having a friend in AFF makes us trap in guilt. We'd tend to be biased and stuff.

Thanks again for the prize! Somehow, I think it's worth the wait. I mean, seriously, I'm the one who wrote 16 freaking chapters XD

Chapter 10: I've been staring here this comment box for maybe ten minutes since I really don't know what to say. I participated because it seemed interesting and dark stories are close to my heart, also to gain experience. I never even dreamed of winning the first place so I am both shocked and delightful.
But, thank you, I feel honored that you thought my story was worth the place. And thank you for this contest as well. Also, you've been apologizing a lot for result coming out 'this late' but I think it's fine, we can't just assume that you have nothing else to do. Really, it's fine ^^

Once again, thank you♥

So, not to rush you or anything, but it's almost December and I was wondering if you were done reading all the entries?

Chapter 3: I am sorry.... I need to withdraw from the contest. I planned poorly and didn't finish in time.

Chapter 8: It was such a good time while I tried to continue the story these lasts days, but since I got so busy, I think I will ask to be out ;;

Once again, I want to apologize.
Good luck!~

Chapter 8: Hi!
I'm sorry but I'm afraid that I'll have to withdraw from the contest. I've had a really long writer's block and I don't know how to overcome it. Plus, I have been very busy lately. You may remove me from the list. Once again, I'm terribly sorry and I would like to wish the other contestants luck! :)
