Winners & Final Notes
Whew! This contest was a hard one. This contest had the most submissions compared to contests past AND a good handful of your submissions were more than decently long. Seriously, I rarely write more than 4,500 words on any given chapter or oneshot before cutting it off and making a second part. Long story short, this was such a great contest. I myself took some ideas and inspiration from some of your work.
Enough with the babbling! I'm sure you all want me to get on with the winners and feedback.
Winners and their feedback will be announced first and afterwards will be my feedback on EVERYONE'S work. Yes, even the winners got feedback on where they can improve. After that, will be the prizes that the winners have won and can choose from.

Kirishima x Dom Reader
Location: Contest UwU
I'm gonna point this out now, there's other words that have the same meaning as sexy like alluring, provocative, tantalizing, etc... Because you butchered that word in the beginning of your piece. Besides that, I'm admittedly really impressed with your work. I've read more than the healthy amount of lemons over the years and honestly yours is one of the best I've read. I highly suggest that you check out the writer Vizkopa if you want to read some really impressive ones. What I especially like about this piece is how it's a true change of pace as you're in the point of view of the male rather than the reader. Also, I could easily visualize everything that happened, the emotions were strong and the times you changed the pov were perfectly integrated. My only critiques here is that you cannot start a sentence out with the word And but also I feel that you should use stronger words. This is a lemon, you want to captivate the five senses. If you use bigger words like caress instead of touch or intoxicating instead of 'a scent that I loved' would move your readers more! Congrats on getting 1st place!
2nd Place

Lessons From Ice: BNHA Oneshot
I could vividly visualize the scene you painted out within your oneshot. You got really really nice interactions between the characters. I could definitely feel everything that little girl was going through. My only critique is more of a personal opinion though. I sort of wish you spent just a little more time on the relationship between Yuki and the little girl. Like, what was the little girl's quirk? You emphasized how she felt weird/out of place due to her quirk yet you never said what exactly it was other than the fact she could shoot targets with it. Did she have a personal dream/goal? That little girl got close with Yuki, I would've loved it if the little girl let Yuki in on a little secret of her own like becoming a hero and then Yuki would encourage her even more. These little suggestions could make your story even better. Congrats on getting 2nd Place!!!

Miracle Disaster
Location: Sidereal
This was different, that's for sure. One day, I was searching random writing prompts and I stumbled upon one that talked about how whatever one person drew on their arm appeared on the arm of their soul mate's. You clearly tried your hand at said prompt and I'd say you did a great job. Except, I'm a little unsure if you used a bunch of different soulmate prompts or just the idea that whatever one soulmate did to their body happened to the other. Either way, I found it absolutely adorable how Bakugou and Midoriya both had matching pink hair. Critiques? I don't really have any mechanics wise. I wish that you would have built upon your scenes some more because they were extremely dialogue reliant. Also, you put your own OC into this oneshot and I wish that you have built upon said OC some more. She definitely was more of a 'tag-along' rather than an actual contributing character. Maybe you could have split the story in half? Half of the oneshot could've been Midoriya and Bakugou searching for their soulmates and their actions lead to your OC finding her soulmate while the actions of the OC would lead Bakugou and Midoriya into figuring out that they were soulmates. Either way, I highly enjoyed your submission.
Here is my feedback on everyone who took part in the contest whether you won or not. Yes, I remained very honest and opinionated when it came to feedback. Constructive criticism/feedback is what shaped me into the writer that I am today. You also need to be open to suggestions and ideas from others. If I hurt your feelings, either keep it to yourself or let me know through a DM. However, if I find your reasonings to be bit ridiculous like 'I put so much time and effort into my piece I should've won!' Or you begin ripping on those who did in fact win then don't expect me to get back to you.

Rain: Todomomo Oneshot
Your submission was super hard to place as I was seriously debating on putting this in third place. I don't have much to say here. I found no mistakes in your writing mechanics which is really rare when it comes to writing contests. However, reason why you didn't get 3rd place is because of how confusing this oneshot got at times. You could've mentioned that a timeskip happened between each of Todoroki and Momo's dates or used a ----- to signify those time skips because each moment blended together TOO much to the point that I thought everything happened at the same time. Besides that, Shoto and Momo's brief interactions were heart warming, very precious. I could definitely feel Shoto's pain once Momo passed away and it's hard to emotionally capture your audience so bravo!

BNHA Oneshot
Located: Contest Submissions
This was another hard decider for 3rd place! I'd say that this was a great teaser for your upcoming book. An insane amount of my questions were left unanswered which ultimately means I'd be willing to read the real book by the time you upload it. There's a few details I would've like to know up front though. Did you intentionally name the kid Kei when Hawks' true name is Keigo? What's Kei's age? He was described to be a little kid but he had the personality of a young teen. Lastly, some facts were clashing with the other. The kid says his parents are dead yet nearing the end he wants to find his parents. That made no sense... Where you can improve. You used the word Seemed an awful lot, you should look into elongating your sentences more OR using more commas and lastly you should proof read a little bit more. I noticed quite a bit of typos like Kei's name eventually became Lei, Of became If and much more. Great job anyways. When you publish your book, let me know because I'd happily read it.

Unformed Certanties: MHA x Pokemon Oneshot
I must admit, your second take on this oneshot was much better than the first. Thank you for going in and clearing the confusion, adding background information and better explaining your OC's quirk(s). However, you really lack description. You should really explore how much more depth you can give to your story by adding a little bit of description. Such as describing the crater in the floor or the armour the OC wore or especially when she broke her nose. Everything was just sort of said and done in those moments. Long story short, you story was really short. It felt extremely unfinished. I personally rarely write less than 2,000 words on any given oneshot or chapter for this reason. I really hope you plan to continue this oneshot in the future maybe as a multiple parter or a chapter book. I'd definitely be interested in reading future work from you. Lastly, while your mechanics are in order, remember that when you use the words A & An, if the next word in the sentence starts with a vowel make sure to use An before it. If the next word doesn't start with a vowel then use A. Here's an example: I saw a anteater. That doesn't sound right. Therefore, replace A with An. I saw an anteater.

Two Kings And The Princess: Kiribaku Oneshot
This oneshot was cute and equally as comical. I myself once wrote a oneshot where I basically expressed how much I think Bakugou would be a great father and you portrayed his parental side exactly how I imagined it. However, my biggest piece of advice for you as of right now is that you should proof-read your work. Every other paragraph I had to re-read it multiple times! Your words were very jumbled up, sometimes there was that random extra word in the middle of the sentence that didn't belong, or a word choice completely messed up the sentence. It was hard to understand your oneshot at times and proof reading would've greatly helped you.

My Hero: Izuku x Fem Reader
This oneshot of yours is cute, if you do decide to continue it, let me know because I'd be all for it. Izuku and (Y/n)'s interactions felt real, you can tell they care deeply about one another. I don't have many critiques here but I feel like 1st person point of view may not be your strong suit. Your story felt a bit awkward to read as your constant POV changes felt inappropriate as well as the fact it truly didn't feel like I was reading through someone else's POV but rather through everyone's POV. This is because personal opinions of the characters and thoughts for the most part were absent. I feel that your story would've been better off if stuck to one POV or in a Narrator's POV. That however is all opinion. Feel free to stick to 1st POV if that's what you're comfortable with doing. I hope you and your friend have fun continuing the story!

With Great Power Comes... Bakugou x OC
While this was an interesting read, your mistakes took away from the enjoyability of your piece. A problem of yours that stood out the most to me is the overwhelming amount of run on sentences. To fix this problem, start using more sentences, commas and semicolons to give the person reading the necessary breaks when reading your piece. You're using the wrong form of many words such as using here when you should've used hear, there when you should've used their or they're and so on. I think you should look more into the true definitions of those words. Also, it's a rule in writing that you start a new paragraph when someone new speaks in which you overal only had two long continuous paragraphs. Hope these notes help you out for the future. I really do believe you should turn your submission into a chapter book because it definitely has the potential to be continued.

Fault: Aizawa x Reader Oneshot
You mentioned how you thought Aizawa was out of character but I thought the opposite. I thought he was perfectly in character and that it was nice how you explored some of his emotions more than what he really shows in the anime and manga. Also, yeah... You warned me that your submission would spoil the future of MHA for me and yes it did. I'm happy however to get spoiled since this was an interesting read and that I never knew Kurogiri, Mic and Aizawa had a past relationship. However... You DON'T need to announce every little thing a character is doing. Is it vital to the plot that your character had snacks and watched YouTube? There such thing as too much information when it comes to storytelling and you did just that. Two really big problems you had would have to be how you aren't starting a new paragraph when someone new is talking and that you kept flip flopping between 1st and 3rd Person Point of View. Those are big no no's in writing! Choose 1 POV and be on your way.

Todoroki x Reader
Location: MHA
Although I felt Shoto was really out of character, it wasn't until I read further that I realized you intentionally made him act like Enji. Thinking about it further, I personally haven't ever read an Adult AU where Shoto was depicted as becoming his own father so this was definitely an interesting read. I didn't see the sad/dark ending at all either so that caught me by surprise. My critiques for you would be your run on sentences. Whenever you use a comma, the first word after said comma CANNOT be a verb. Either start a new sentence or give the second half of the sentence a subject.

Lust: Bakugou x Reader x Dabi Oneshot
Based on title alone, I was the most excited to read your submission. You NEVER see love triangles that involve Dabi so of course I was looking forward to reading this. However, you really didn't need to retell the entire camp arc detail by detail and that I really wish you put more context within your story instead. Yes, I got that Dabi was a childhood friend of the Reader but even after reading the entire oneshot I never really understood his/her significance to the other let alone why Dabi was out to basically rape and kill her. Meanwhile with Bakugou it was the complete opposite! I completely understood his significance to the Reader and rooted for them until the very end and that their reactions and intimate moments melted my heart. My critiques for you consist of you using the incorrect forms of words, your extreme lack of detail/context and your mountain of typos. It became comical to me every single time you wrote crap or crapping when in reality I understood you wanted to say grab and grabbing and it heavily distracted me from the oneshot in question. Now, you had so much potential here and I ultimately loved your oneshot and if you don't mind but maybe if you give me some more context I'd happily rewrite your oneshot in my own writing style sometime in the future. All thoughts aside, hope you write more in the future.

Hooked: Tenya Iida x Reader
I can definitely tell you had fun writing this but I think your fun really got in the way. I figured out that your story is more geared towards a particular audience that enjoys memes, 4th wall breaks and comedy. While that means you really excel in that particular genre, I myself couldn't grow attached to your submission. I found it really awkward when you kept making references to stuff outside of MHA, the random outbursts/talking to the literal reader, the differentiating text and the weird face you made out of text in the beginning really didn't belong. I felt like there was problems with your plot too. Although you did point out the fact that Midoriya didn't like the Reader due to their behavior, I could not wrap my head around the fact Iida liked the Reader at all. The 'Reader' of this story had no likable qualities. You were also using the wrong form of multiple words like your and there. Almost everything I said about your piece is primarily my opinion and yeah other people who read this piece will highly enjoy it. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I applaud you for the fact I really didn't need to critique you for your writing mechanics. I highly encourage you to keep writing.

Todoroki x Reader
Located: My Hero Academia Oneshots
Thank you for mentioning that your submission wasn't very good, it was an interesting read, but your mechanics need a lot of work. You always need to capitalize the first word of every sentence, use apostrophes where necessary like in Didn't and You're but also make sure to add a space right after every sentence. You need to use commas. Everything felt like 'I did this' period. 'I did that' period. Using commas will give your writing more flow. Almost all of your characters were out of character. Shigaraki, although he acts like a whiny child sometimes, he doesn't speak like a child nor is he one to debate. He kept giving the Reader a million options when in reality Shiggy would just give one option or death. All of this Is partially due to the fact your story was confusing, I had no idea what was going on half of the time. I hope you take my feedback and work on improving your writing abilities.

Positivity & Anger: Bakugou x Reader
Location: My Hero Academia Oneshots
Thank you for pointing out that you know for a fact that your submission was a bit of a trainwreck. While that is a pessimistic view on your work, it also shows that you're accepting of your mistakes and willing to improve. You mainly have two-three problems. Number one is that you need to start a new paragraph whenever somebody new is talking. You were doing that at first but then more towards the end everything just sort of mashed together. Number two, your story was confusing for the same reason as No. 1 as well as the fact that you weren't integrating the future quirk into the story very well. It took me a while to figure out that the bolded text was the quirk in use when at first I thought it was your way of integrating the characters thoughts in the story. Lastly, spend more time on particular scenes instead of 'I did this and then I did that!' If you're gonna mention that a character did something then paint a scene of that character doing that particular thing. Hope this advice helps you out with future writing.

Romeo & Juliet: Kaminari x Reader
Location: My Hero Academia x Reader Oneshots
Wow, this was pretty hilarious. I can tell that you definitely put yourself into this writing and I find that really cool and unique. I especially loved the fact that Kaminari totally pulled a Romeo in the end. Kaminari does feel like the guy who'd use old lovey dovey cliches. Don't get me wrong, I loved your submission. However, I didn't agree with half of the stuff that happened in your oneshot either. This is all opinion, but I feel that if Kirishima and Sero caught Kaminari doing dirty business they'd either let Kaminari keep doing whatever it is he's doing or congratulate him. UA wouldn't make rules against dating (you were throwing out the idea that even Pros can't love even though during Overhaul's arc there was Pro Hero relationships with Rock Lock being the prime example) although I do agree that they wouldn't approve of sexual relationships. Again, all opinion, but keep that in mind for the future. Now onto writing critiques... Whenever you use a comma, you CANNOT put a verb right after it. Either start a new sentence or give the second half of the sentence a subject such as he, she, they. Your last really bad problem is the fact you weren't using the correct forms of many words such as loose when it should've been lose, there when it should've been they're and many more. Continue writing! You hold much potential to become a great writer.

I really wish that you would've continued with this submission of yours. Cliffhangers are the absolute worst! You had such a really good direction with this, although the plot isn't original, but it has all the potential to become a book on it's own. I have small critiques for you like maybe slightly more background information as it wasn't exactly explained why your OC felt connected to Midoriya, you were shortening Midoriya's name towards the end of your submission and I have no idea if that was intentional or not. Lastly while it's completely okay to start a new paragraph just for dialogue, you were going 4+ paragraphs without labeling who said what and that caused minor confusion. Besides that, great job!

Don't Deny: Katsuki Bakugou x Reader
Really wish you would've finished your submission. What was present at the time I read was entertaining but of course with your lack of time came an array of mistakes. After a comma you CANNOT use a verb right after the fact AND you need to start a new paragraph whenever someone new is talking. Besides those problems, I could get a good grasp of your writing style and that you have much potential as a writer.
