Finish the Story Winners
Remember entering a contest is like signing a contract saying that you will not get upset about your placement.
First Place-Swibells I (Casey) graded yours. I rated you at a 10. You had 2,016 words which is awesome!! You had very few spelling errors but it could have easily been typos so I didn't hold that against you, just remember to go through and reread a couple of times. Your vocabulary was fantastic, I personally like works that use very bold and well-built vocabulary, but many of people would probably agree that you did fantastically. Your story was one of the more creative ones, your story caught my attention and it really drug me in. Most of the other's stories were basic zombie stuff like The Walking Dead (not hating), but you added more to your story which I thought was more World War Z type. You really caught my emotions with the thing that happened to her sister and mother, your use of tragedy was a nice touch. You had an amazing plot and a perfect length of story. Just an amazing story all the way around.
Second Place-Erinwantstobattle I (Casey) graded yours. I rated you at a 10. I thought your vocabulary wasn't too much or too little, it was just perfect. Just like with the first place winner, I could easily see how your few spelling errors could be typos or just something autocorrect didn't quite get, just remember to reread a couple of times. Your details were one of my favorite parts of your story. Your details were perfectly done, you didn't overwhelm me with them and you used your details in the perfect spots and when they weren't needed then you kept them to a minimum. With the blood splattering to the ground or the way the described the battle cry, you just knew how to keep me on the edge of the seat. Your readers will definitely find your stories intriguing and interesting because you never stopped me falling from my seat and I was never sitting straight. Everything that contributed to your story made it better. Keep up your amazing work.
Third Place-YouCanCallMeHunt I (Tara) graded yours. I rated you at a 9. I didn't notice any misspells or vocabulary mistakes, you did perfectly! You had a lot of vividness with your words, I didn't struggle to picture what you wrote at all. You had PLENTY of details, at times, it became a little much. You had so many details that your story was hard to read in some areas, something I hardly ever see. You did a really great job! I enjoyed your story a lot. Your story had the perfect length and I could tell you worked very hard on those details. Your first sentence really grabbed my attention, sometimes it's the little things. One more thing, when you weren't having a lot of details, you were having a lot of talking. There's nothing wrong with talking, but you should find a good medium. You did really well! Keep up the hard work.
Fourth Place-fourmoreminutes I (Tara) graded yours. I rated you at an 8.5. You had a few mistakes with your vocabulary, but I didn't notice any spelling mistakes. You did a really good job with your details, they weren't too much nor too little. There were some areas that I found unique and really liked: "Death loves surprises. It doesn't tell you when it's coming. You just sit there, doing your business, and then suddenly it grabs you by both feet and drags you into your grave." This section I especially liked, it added a bit of a funny horror feel to your story. With your dialogue sometimes it was hard to keep up with who was speaking, make sure you remind us every now and then. I really enjoyed your story, just remember to check your story for vocabulary mistakes and remind us who is speaking with the dialogue. Otherwise, I really enjoyed your story!
Fifth Place-BubblyWitch03 I (Tara) graded yours. I rated you at a 7.5. You had some vocabulary mistakes that need to be checked. They weren't too bad, I could still understand what you were trying to write. You need to put unique words, vivid words. You used a lot of words that everyone uses to describe something, you used overused words, not creative ones. I would also suggest you add some more details to really help picture what your writing, it's hard to picture something when the majority of the story is dialogue. I really did enjoy your story, you had a great storyline. There are some things you need to work on, but keep writing! You can only get better.
