Match 2
Toffee Brown vs Nerassa & Quinton Salzar
| Toffee Brown |
Nerassa & Quinton Salzar |
||||
| You hit the ground running with setting up the two as foils--the dichotomy of the two's mornings was a fantastic tone-setter to the entire entry. You put a lot of effort into using your opponents not just as characters to beat, but as actual characters. Character dialogue can be improved to be more natural, but overall a strong entry. |
You had a lot going on in this round by kicking it off with a murder mystery! There were a lot of characters to keep track of in this entry, which was progressively more difficult as the round went on. Overall the entry would have benefitted from more editing. It was a unique fun read! |

Match 3
Nalagrom & Baladeth vs Quin
| Nalagrom & Baladeth |
Quin |
||||
| You put so much love and detail into every character used in your round! You incorporated Quin and her character, backstory, and lore seamlessly into Nalagrom's own story. Her presence felt natural and important--she shared the spotlight and had some really touching moments with Ms. X and Baladeth. |
Quin is such a lovable character and impossible not to root for! Her interactions with Ms. X throughout are amazing and adorable. Having to work together with Nalagrom was amazing to see as they begrudgingly helped one another. |

Match 4
Red Hood vs Myrelle & Pharia
| Red Hood |
Myrelle & Pharia |
||||
| Red Hood's dialogue flows like poetry; it's really fun to read her interactions with different characters. Great use of Red Riding Hood's cultural figure status as a backdrop to provide imagery to the piece! Overall a strong entry. |
Myrelle & Pharia have such a complex and deep relationship that quickly endears the reader to the characters. Thematic elements of Red Riding Hood were used well! We would have loved to see Red Hood appear earlier in the entry to interact more. |
