WHO Mini Awards || CLOSED & JUDGING

EXPERIMENTAL - INTRO

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to another set of intros & results! We're continuing with the core categories, this time with the most unique category in the contest celebrating all non-traditional works.

Please welcome the esteemed participants of the "Experimental" category!

They are:

EsmeraldaDryden with the work Queen, which is a poem series following, you guessed it, a queen! Esmeralda recently scored well in the Rock category for Arcadia, which is a flash fic with a dark twist. Queen is completely different, showing Esmeralda's versatility as a writer. Esmeralda is both a writer and a poet, and Queen is an excellent series with only six parts out right now, but all six are worth your time. It's a quick read, and we've already seen with Arcadia that Esmeralda is quite talented, so I hope you guys check it out!

TEJALKAUR4554 with the work I SAW YOU WITH MY EYES CLOSED. You'll recognize TEJALKAUR4554, or Piecesofeunoia, from the ROTY category with Feelings meet fictions. I SAW YOU WITH MY EYES CLOSED is a poem dedicated to the love of God, and it's a sweet, eye-opening (no pun intended) poem with a lot of intrigue. Also, I'm still itching to read WHO IS MY HEART WAITING FOR?, which is a Jimin fanfic. I mean, I am Jiminbiasnim, after all. Lol, BTS aside, it's great to see you back in another category! I enjoyed my read of your poem, so I'm really excited to post my review of your work! Thank you for being here!

VeraChendra with the work Dear Journal. Now this is a unique entry since it's entirely epistolary, with the full story being told via short letters from the main character's, Alex's, point of view. It's a fascinating narrative that won't take you too long to read, so if you're looking for a new epistolary work, especially one with an entertaining main character, then Dear Journal is for you! Vera also has nine other works to choose from, such as Marvel fanfics and fantasy adventures like The Court of Midnight, which is all about faeries, adventure, and a hint of love. Thank you for signing up, Vera, and I can't wait to post my review of Dear Journal!

aweirdoonearth01 with the work An Online Mystery. Aweirdoonearth01, or simply Rose, is a writer with six works available currently. Rose has multiple one shots, so if you're looking for bite-sized reads, then I hope you check them out! An Online Mystery is exactly what it sounds like: a mystery revolving around a strange boy in the protagonist's messages online, and Rose, who hunts down internet predators, is determined to find out what this stranger's motives are. If you're looking for an online mystery full of texts, then this is the perfect story for you!

Sahityasikharghosh with the work Withered Roses. Sahityasikharghosh, or Sahitya, is a wonderful writer, poet, and person. I've been on record many times saying Sahitya is an awesome person who deserves all the support, and I want to reaffirm that now. Withered Roses is a beautiful poetry collection, and it's such a unique one since it isn't just poetry. I don't want to spoil what's inside, though, so I think you guys should go take a look and see for yourselves what the surprise is ;). While you're there, please support the rest of Sahitya's work, as he absolutely deserves all of the support! As always, it's great to have you here, Sahitya!

hanaonthenet with the work Overreacting or okay?. hanaonthenet (which is a cool username), or Haniya, is a poet with a dark academia vibe (great choice). Haniya also seems to be a fellow Timebomb shipper (literally one of my favorite ships)! Always great to see fellow Arcane fans. As for Haniya's writing, Haniya has four works available, and the one submitted here is a wonderful poetry collection all about emotions and how they can overwhelm you, hence the title being Overreacting or okay?. It explores how deep feelings can go in fun ways, seeing as the structure of the poems is always being played around with. Thank you for signing up, Haniya, and I can't wait to post my thoughts on your work!
