I have to finish reading the BTS fanfic this weekend. Also, I think I'm going to have to listen to the group's music - I've heard the band members are extremely talented.
Looks like I entered Ancilla in The Erotic Dark Harlequin (Dark Romance main category), and in the mini categories, Fumes of Desire (best steamy seduction), Best Heartbreaking Chapter, Best Smut, Best Couple, Best First Time Meet-Up, Best Male Protagonist, Best Aesthetics, Best First Chapter, and Best Chapter Titles.
I entered Excavations in Veiled Verse.
UPDATE (6/5/2024) - Ancilla took SECOND PLACE - with what I felt was the weakest chapter in the entire novel! My judge mistook the prologue for the first chapter, and judged "Beginning," not "The Magus."
Let me say that again, loudly, for the people at the back of the room: My weakest chapter took a second place prize. And not even the entire prologue - just the first part, the part that I knew desperately needed a professional editor. Holy smokes. That is high praise. Seriously.
(Oh, and if my judge is reading this, I did tweak the titles to show that "Beginning" is the prologue, as you advised).
