Thank you so much for participating in the awards. The entries all had something truly unique or special about them. However, there can only be one winner and just like a good steak, our judges must trim the fat.
Below, are the second round results for Dark Fantasy.
Good luck to those continuing and thank you for your efforts to those who didn't make it through.
Note: We know that these results are delayed and sincerely apologize. Atheina was having a lot of technical problems through no fault of her own.
The Life of Sorrow by apagado Character/s Introduction: 6/10 Genre Fit: 6/10 Grammar/Mechanics: 7/10 Details: 7/10 Total: 26/40 Notes: Everly is one of the funniest ones I've read about in the last few days, and the continuous mysterious appearances of Sorrow make it intriguing, but for now I really can't see the Fantasy element, except from the yes and no appearances of the God which still hasn't been officially introduced. There were some missing commas where some should have been periods, some misplaced action tags and very few spelling errors. An enjoyable read, even if a bit confusing.
The Kingmaker by YouCanCallMeCorn Character/s Introduction: 8.5/10 Genre Fit: 3/10 Grammar/Mechanics: 8/10 Details: 9/10 Total: 28.5/40 Notes: You have a marvelous way of writing. Your characters are extremely elegant and well fleshed out. The plot too is compelling and your writing encourages the reader to continue. Found some grammar errors and an excessive repetition of: "Lips," more or less in the middle of chapter 1. There are a few missing words that should be needed so that the flow does not completely break while reading. Some passages too, where a bit too heavy to read. Unfortunately, I took points away because this book is officially a fanfiction with Dark Fantasy as its sub-genre. Even if it's an AU I still consider it a work of Fanfic.
Blood Over Honor by peoniesofthepeople Character/s Introduction: 8/10 Genre Fit: 9/10 Grammar/Mechanics: 7.5/10 Details: 9/10 Total: 33.5/40 Notes: You've made my heart love for 1 chapter Phyllipa only to make me hate her at the end of chapter 4- ouch, ouch ouch ouch. The reactions between the girls and the angst the population has against Gradia is incredibly well-written. Taking out that I love your writing style, this book is great! I did find some extra punctuation here and there, some missing commas and comma overuse while reading. But the main problem, if we may call it that, is the sentence length. Many times, because of your writing style, the sentence becomes too heavy, and I advise to break it up a bit more to help the readers not lose track of what they're reading. I'll surely continue this book even after the award is over.
