Hello guys, I just want to ask you all to be patient with me, especially when it comes to giving the prizes promised. I am hosting this award plus I am judging a handful of categories because judges have backed out or forgot that they were supposed to be a judge in this award, so I had to take matters into my hands and do the judging myself. This is a lot of work for me. I have to make the stickers also on top of everything else I am doing. So please wait for me to vote and comment on your books, although the only category I hadn't done that for is fanfiction. I will get to them soon when I have the time. Thank you.
Now this category was judged by yours truly. I hope you guys don't find the scoring too harsh. I judged your books as honestly as I could.

FULL REVIEW: The originality of this piece is phenomenal. I see that the writer thought out of the box for this one, good job there. But the blurb didn't do anything for your book. I was not excited about moving on to read your story because of how you worded the blurb. The first chapter has a lot of potential. It gave me a sad girl writing in her diary about a breakup' vibe. Now that right there is gold because these are the type of opening people love here on Wattpad. Why I gave you such a low score for the first chapter it's because the writing style needs work, along with grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary. After chapter one the chapters that followed were barely 200 words, I counted 150 in one of them and that just isn't enough for anything important to be written about the plot.
As for your grammar in this particular book, it isn't your best; mixed tenses, run-on sentences, poor sentence construction, and redundancies. You need to find a way to construct sentences so that your story can read a lot smoother. Also, I think writing in the past tense is your strong suit, use it.
Moving on to the spelling, it was ok. I did see some typos, so it would do you good to edit. Your vocabulary wasn't strong at all. You need to find words that will help to bring your story alive, plus you keep overusing words/pronouns and that took away some of the enjoyment for me. The MC (sad girl) is ok, but I need to see her elevating, in every chapter she seems as if she is in the same place she was in chapter one.
Description and literary devices were almost absent in your work. So the plot fell flat, and I didn't want to continue because of this fact. I wish you luck with your writing.

REVIEW: I read Ashley's story and it is a fairly written piece. I got to know a bit of the character and I think you did a fair job with that. The first chapter caught my attention, I immediately wanted to know what will take place next. But the grammatical errors and the poor dialects made it difficult for me to enjoy. When writing dialects, start a new paragraph when a new person speaks. Work on punctuation placements and a way to enhance your vocabulary. Please write a proper blurb and add some literary devices. Good luck with your writing.
