I can totally understand how my page is pretty cramped. I was trying to go for how the books do it with giving characters and territories and such, and I guess I did that fine. And I never liked the idea of putting fans and art after the story, since it gets so long. But I understand how it can look and that it's quite a bit before the story itself. I also wanted the fact she was raised by foxes to be like a shocker straight into the story - something you'd never see coming. I'm glad at least the title got some good points, as it's always hard for me to come up with titles I actually like, lol.

All very fair points. The title is very, very good!

I totally expected to be eliminated first, that title is terrible. All your masterpieces do need something to win against, so here I am providing 👏 Don't do that. Don't talk yourself down like you haven't put a ton of work into your story, because you have. <3 You have no idea how it would have done in the other rounds (I'm sure it would have done well)! It's unfortunate that this first round doesn't showcase your fic's strengths, that's all. It's unlucky. Elimination contests are like this. It's not a reflection of weather your story is a "masterpiece" or not. The best thing you can do is take the feedback and do something with it. That's what will separate you from other contestants from future contests. YOU listened and YOU learned. And in the end your writing and storytelling will become better. (Again, not fully applicable to this because it was a round based off of first impressions.) I encourage you to be more positive!! <3 oOF. I mean, I wasn't exactly trying to be negative, it's just an elimination contest, but thanks for the kind words! <3 I really appreciate them!

Haven't forgotten this! I just picked a very bad time to have a bad mental health week followed directly by losing my computer.
Shoooooooooould have the second round up tomorrow (?) since I have the use of the family computer on Wednesday/Thursday.

Also we now have our three prize winners - we just have to see which order they roll out in.

Thank you so much! I was sure I was going to get eliminated thanks to that slow start, so I'm super happy with third place Yes, it almost certainly is who you think it is! Trouble is, they have quite a distinctive design - do you think including eye colour or something would do that trick?

Many characters has always been a slight issue. So I’m not too surprised that docked me. Also don’t you think it was kind of amusing that I gave Bluewhisper so much attention and out of the starting group, he kicks the bucket first? | But I didn’t expect for it to come in second place, let alone through a tiebreaker!

As much as I was surprised to get eliminated, you make good points. Gives me incentive to do more work on that prologue.

Could just be 'tom' - or if you wanted maybe describe the cat's build and eye color.

I am not surprised, but gosh did it hurt when you did. It makes it feel like he was there longer though, since he was a main character.

I am still keeping up with this, and I gotta just say, I am both surprised and very happy to go from last and first so quickly. I'm not trying to brag or anything, just saying it's like...wow, and really cool. The comments really make me feel good about my writing, too, but I know others are also very, very good. Looking forward to seeing how this continues to go for everyone!

Hello y'all! I got a new computer recently, so hopefully things will start to pick up soon. I hit/am still hitting a rough mental health patch, but will be taking things slow and working up to all my projects. <3 Hope everyone is doing well!

Many thanks! Believe it or not, I've actually had this in mind. I'm just over here, binge reading That Which Plagues Us! I'm getting there pretty fast. Chapter a day keeps StarClan away.

I'm a total of seven chapters away from being able to continue this. XD Which, with any luck, means in six days.
