hey hola hi wonderful people :3

i hope you're doing well. this is more of a quick run down announcement.

↪ action/adventure genre has been judged and the results will be out soon.

miscellaneous genre has also been judged

mostly, in both cases i am looking to finalize some things before finally posting it.

↪ the poetry was the toughest to judge, because if you haven't seen it yet, the criteria is herculean and its not due change anytime soon. it was framed by a dear friend of mine and i want to honor that. (the only part that did change being the blurb instead of cover)

so prepare for a thorough feedback but also a bit of heartbreak if the review seems too harsh. i have tried my best to keep it straight to the point

if you request a feedback and receive a constructive feedback that felt like your work is being judged in a way that's too high standard, i apologize.

maybe its a sign that, after all, poetry is an art and although you can spill the ink to paper and call it great it requires something extra in order to be a true masterpiece of an artwork.

↪ i discovered JotForm and my life has never been the same after! :D

you can find the link in this profile's bio and currently, its locked for a reason. when distributing the stickers for reader's awards, you'll find the page open for everyone but only those who've won, that person's email id will be linked to drive, making the sticker accessible only to that person. (what i mean by this? you'll figure it out soon!)

↪ for cloud awards, to distribute stickers/cloud storage, i made this applet, of sorts... that's basically gonna have your username, wherein if you click it, you'll be directed to a google link, that's your drive link which will have:

- your sticker(s)

- information about the cloud login

- my attempt at your book cover (if you had won HM or honorable mention) place

(you don't have to use it, but in case you do, it will make me happy!)

↪ romance and teen fiction genres are still under judging, but they'll likely be done by this week so yay! :D

↪ the RCA voting stage is open till three more days, i.e., 4th July, 11:59 PM IST. so go and vote, or ask your friends to vote for you! :D

↪ the "wrapping" part of the prizes is getting there, and i will add the books to reading list as soon as possible, and i would say... it's going to take a while, but i am trying my best to do it

↪ there would be future projects to this profile, after this awards gets over like community and everything, i am excited to have y'll around (if you choose to!) :D

not necessary, probably a bit of self-promotion here BUT my work, Bullet Train to Murder is also in the list of nominations under the BEST ANTAGONIST category for the character Mr. Bingo. you can vote if you wish to, but otherwise, i am just participating because i was nominated and hey its always a bit fun to see people loving your character as much as you do :D but even if i did win by votes, i am going to humble myself and give the prize to someone else, making your own winner sticker isn't as satisfying now, is it?

that's for now, thanks for being around!

cheers,
thetranquilityteam!
