I just wanted to illustrate what I meant when I say "be a little more descriptive". I never intended to say "write it just like me" but rather "this is kind of what I mean when I say this". I hope I was able to get the point across. Ironically, I was trying not to offend you. I guess I'm just not sp good at social interraction. Sorry. You did not offend me in any way, shapenor form. Voting ends soon! Good luck for everybody going into the final 48 hours! And Arghh, I really can't decided who to vote for! I'm swinging between two right now... And we have a four-way tie. Lovely.

Ottservia Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) alright finally finished reading the last of these stories so let me lay out my thoughts: @SoulWeaver Hmm I quite enjoyed. Short simple and effective. It took the prompt in somewhat interesting direction and I like that. I also really like the bits of lore you added in there about embla and askr. It was a nice touch. Again I enjoyed it. Not really much else to say here honestly. @AnonymousSpeed I really liked this one and I was half expecting Idunn to die at the end. I like the imagery in the beginning. It was incredibly descriptive without being overbearing. This was a good piece and fit the prompt pretty well. @TheSilentChloey Not my personal cup of tea but it was simple yet effective. It was relatable at any rate as someone who has waded through the swamp that is gacha hell. I spend too much time on these games. Regardless, I struggle to find what the subversion is here.  Honestly debating between voting for Anon's or soul's entry for this round. I enjoyed both of them a lot. 40 minutes ago, Benice said: I like trash, Okay?!

Benice Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Might be a bit early, but it looks like we have our winner! Nice job, Soulweaver! Ready for the prompt when y'all are. Edited February 29, 2020 by Benice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I haven't voted yet. I could create a two-way tie. I still don't know which to vote for. Though I also have to admit that my entry being bad this time has made me feel less like being involved in this round. It's also why I've yet to give any critique this time.

Hell objectively speaking mine is far worse in terms of quality. I just enjoyed Soul’s and Anon’s more. It’s as simple as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never was a good writer anyway, I guess, and it isn't my dream job, so... Just a fun little past time once in awhile.

That’s a pretty pessimistic way of viewing things but if that’s how you feel that’s how you feel.  Anyway I kinda wanna write something cute for the next round. I hope the next prompt will allow me to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it is how I feel. I'm typically critical of myself. I always look for faults in my work so I can know where to improve and what to work on moving forward, you know? It's how I've progressed in art and writing and anything else I've put my mind to improving upon. My mom tells me I should stop criticizing myself so much, but I don't care what she thinks. My methods work fine. I've improved vastly over the years in art. My art from ten years ago is way way worse than what I make now. So is my writing. I may not be a good writer yet, but I am better than I used to be. I've gone from a bad writer to an okay one, perhaps. I admit though, I find it easier to criticize my art than my writing. So the process is a little slower for the latter. But it still works. Edited February 29, 2020 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your entry wasn't bad in any way! The main reason I voted for Otts is because he subverted my expectations a bit more than you did I appreciated all of the work you put into your and I liked how the grammar was quite good. I like the world you've built and I liked the characters in it; in terms of quality, it was no. 1 or maybe 2. The thing was that your story came from left field, whereas Otts' came from somewhere far beyond left field, so I'd say it was the prompt biting you here, not your writing. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! Also 9/10 I hate everything I write,which makes my critique invalid, but I give it anyways, since people's opinions on your story are what matter in terms of success. I'd love to hear about what you though of mine, for example, since it's a world I'm planning a lot of stuff in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it'd be difficult, but I wanted to give this a shot anyway and Ike's son getting framed by the thief girl from The First Time was a story idea I'd been wanting to do for awhile. I like challenging myself once in awhile. I guess this time it just didn't work out quite well. But you are right that not fitting a prompt doesn't mean the story itself is bad. So that's a good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulWeaver Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Hey, I managed to remember to write my list of prompt ideas down this time! How to make you all suffer...ah, I know. Hang on, that's...me?! Write a piece about a character meeting another version of themselves. It doesn't have to be Fire Emblem, but in a Fire Emblem context, this can be seasonal Units meeting(Spring Xander meets Dancer Xander), a Unit meeting another timeline variant of themselves(example removed due to Book III Spoilers), two versions of the same character meeting(Neutral Fjorm w/ base kit meets +ATK -SPD Fjorm w/ inherited Skills), or something even crazier(all the Camillas have a get-together, Mirage Hero shenanigans like making your own Mirage Hero, craziest of all Lucina meets Cordelia!Lucina).
