Raising The Bar: "Shades of Mercy" by twinsuns  Why we loved it: "The flow of the narrative, the choice of words, everything flows so nicely and wonderfully that it captivates the reader. The diction is carefuly crafted to leave a dark overtone to the story, which goes wonderfully with the overall meaning and the quote within. With the use of almost no dialogue, the prose manages to create a powerful emotion that emanates from the piece. It is wistful, regretful, and very appropriate. I see no real faults in this piece; it only leaves the reader wondering, about what must have lead up to that point, what's to come, and what exactly the meaning and warning behind it is." -thirty2flavors Cheering Charm: "Stranger With Orange Hair" by Aseret  Why we loved it: "Characterization is beautiful, plot and setting take a back seat as quirky and rather realistic dialogue comes into play." - imari " An original, quirky piece of work which roots out the humour in the most hopeless of situations." - Quixoticity Rising Star: "A Promise Made Is A Promise Kept" by falling_star13  Why we loved it: "I think this story gave a great real and believable image of Ginny as a character and person. It was very in character, and expressed the poignant points about Harry and Ginny's relationship and the world around them. The writing was nice and flowed well. I was interested from beginning to end. The slightly cynical yet hopeful turn of the story was a good mix." - BeeDaily Brilliance of Brevity: "A Lot of Time to Kill" by Alya1989262  Why we loved it: "I liked the sarcastic tone of voice dominating the beginning of this entry. The atmosphere seemed pessimistic and yet amusingly so. It was subtly written at times and the fact we don’t know the identity of the narrator till the end was intriguing." - clyana "Worth every second it takes you to read it, and I would encourage anyone who is looking for something a little different to plunge in." - penguininpink Eureka!: "A Sprig of Silver" by shootingstar  Why we loved it: "This has got to be one of the best in the competition, simply because it doesn't have woe-is-me. Woe-is-me-let-me-brood is so last year." - sunsgoldenray "A Sprig of Silver is a refreshing break in the clouds, a nice ray of sunshine, and the accurate, heart-warming portrayal of Luna makes it so." - thirty2flavors The Challenge Entries"It Started There" by LadyElla64 Back to the Scrivenshaft Challenge Last updated by |
