RESULTS AND REVIEWS!!!

Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 2:00 pm

I am not responsible for the vote you got, if your name doesn't appear on the list, no hard feelings, it was just a vote. I gave you a chance to give me all you've got.
And there might be a chance yours didn't get voted because of a late entry.
First of all, I've give all the reviews.

Oh yeah, btw, thanks for all those who voted. There were actually people who didn't write a story vote. On to reviewing. Oh, and btw, the rating (x/10) isn't the vote count.

Trenchtown

Introduction- Very interesting, it ponders the reader into suspense until the 'burst' part came.
Atmosphere- The main character is telling the story in an innocent feeling, although he was killing, it also changed to dark at the end.
Characters- Good description of origin and backround at the start, excellent transforming human->bloodseeker.
Summary- How Strygwyr became himself
Rating- 8.5/10 (B+)

Flameseeker

Introduction- The title of the story depicts and places the reader into thinking it was mercurial's diary. Very direct intro. Although some of the info was rushed and could have been explained slower for the reader to justificate.
Atmosphere- Very silent, mysterious, and then turns exciting.
Characters- Fantastic description of Mercurial, how she acted and reacted to things. How she absorbed all light into darkness for her body.
Summary- Mercurial as an outcast, revenges against people. Joins the Lich King, fights in the war.
Rating- 8.3/10 (B-)

Amplirage

Introduction- Excellent intro, it hooks the reader, catches attention. It's a "realisation" piece, making the reader wonder until he finds out something, in this case, Barov.
Atmosphere- Deeply dark and mysterious at first, a calm and safe feeling in the middle- but a slight feeling of denial, exciting in the end.
Characters- Good explanation of his acts, how he always tried to make things and dissapeared. Nice how the perspective of the story changed.
Summary- Barov was a mysterious man with both technical and magical specialties, until a day he dissapeared into the void.
Rating- 8.8/10 (A-)

Warpus

Introduction- An okay explanation, a grammar mistake in the first para, the story itself sounded interesting.
Atmosphere- Calm intro, suspense, excitement
Characters- Nice backround explanation, nice description during rooftrellen and pudge's fight.
Summary- Rooftrellen get's ambushed by Pudge.
Rating- 8/10 (B-)
Additional Comment- "fresh meat" Roofy is wood.
Random ending?

Migrees

Introduction- Fantastice intro on how boush reacted and observed things, esp. ions, kind of indicates ishkafel was involved.
Atmosphere- Suspense, excitement
Characters- Boush explained well, Furion too (why is he always the leader in stories), and short but very good transformation at the end.
Summary- A new weapon on the scourge was created, destroying everything in it's path, forcing Boush to activate his last resort.
Rating- 8.4 (B)

Naglfar

Introduction- I like the idea how the taurens got killed at the start, introducing a new wep. (a bit like migrees don't u think?) But everything happens so fast. In fact the whole story, there's so much happening.
Atmosphere- A war-feeling, suspense and exciting
Characters- A lot of characters, shortly described, but short as in a meaningful way.
Summary- A new weapon is out and to kill. The monster is cocky yet sees his own defeat as he kills.
Rating- 8/10 (B-)

Quale

Introduction- Interesting, you try to make the Scarlet Crusade sound innocent, nice how you explained purist's perspective on the scarlet.
Atmosphere- Suspense, exciting
Characters- Good how purist has sympathy for the scarlet, how he kind-of accepted the scarlet.
Summary- Purist joins a few scarlet warriors to kill the scourge, but realises who the scarlet really are.
Rating- 9.2/10(A-)

Amc-dotaaddict

Introduction- Immediate comedy, pretty funny, made me laugh. Great how the Purist talks to the Narrator.
Atmosphere- Funny, reader expecting something hilarious
Characters- Not so descriptive on characters, but good because you discarded that and instead made it funny.
Summary- Alot of funny heroes fight in an war of epic proportions.
Rating- 9/10 (A-)

RandomPerson

Introduction- Nice how you keep the character anonymous at the start.
Atmosphere- Calm intro, suspense, excitement
Characters- Good info and nice characterization.
Summary- Rooftrellen get's ambushed by Pudge.
Rating- 8.3/10 (B-)

Pencil Pusher

Introduction- Fantastic description and how you hid the main character away from the reader= attention
Atmosphere- Calm intro, suspense, excitement
Characters- Very good description of Demnok at the start and throughout the story.
Summary- Demnok meets the foe and ends up killing but dying himself.
Rating- 8.2/10 (B-)

Just a thought... I don't think that's the summary of my story. I also think that it would help the writers to improve if you also point out the negative things in the story, the things that they should work on. Nevertheless, I like the reviews of the stories, very concise and informative.

Hmm... I could be hallucinating or my browser is erratic, but I'm sure you've written the same summary for Warpus and me.
About the poll... that's a very hard decision to make. I hope that the voters will vote wisely. Good luck!

IMHO, I thought that amp's story was the best. But I'd rather Amc's story to be better as a video, as a fanfic, amp's was better.
