Wattpad's Next Rising Star: Cycle 01

Round Three - Results

Hello and welcome to Round Three - The Results!

It's been a long couple of weeks what with exams and such, but it's finally time to get down to business.

This round was probably the hardest task yet in this entire competition. You had to write a Dark Fantasy piece, with a little bit of humour, and while some of you did great, others faced their doom in the competition. And the grades reflected exactly that!

We won't keep you longer so here we go! With the closest grades yet, 10 contestants remain, 8 spots up for grabs. Let's begin.

First up is...Pamparampam! All the judges were quite shocked by your entry this week. It just wasn't the usual level we see from you. You had a lot of problems with the plot and the execution. After the judges' grading, you are...

In the Bottom Three this week. Good luck!

Next up is FatelessForever. You had a brilliant week with Round Two, and was hoping to do the same in Round Three, but did you? The judges were quite in disagreement about your entry as far as grades. Some thought you did great, others thought you did bad, and still others thought you did well enough. So, did you do enough?

Yes. You are safe, congratulations!

Up next is N4Z14_258. The judges all agreed that, like every week, you gave it your best. Although it wasn't your best, it was still very well written and thought-out. Should you keep it up, you just might go all the way. It goes without saying that you are...

Safe! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

This next person is the sole person to have survived the Bottom Three. Yes, it's DreamOnxoxo. The trip to the bottom of the pack really did you good this week. You pushed harder than ever and delivered your very best entry to date. But was it good enough to get you out of the Bottom Three?

Absolutely! You are not only safe, but also in the Top Two! You did a full 180! Congratulations!

Next up is Talkingmushroom. You emerged victorious last week with a much-deserved spot in the Top Two, but has history repeated itself? The judges all loved the frame in which you chose to deliver your entry and enjoyed the plot, although some of us thought you could have done better with the development of plot. After the judges' grading, you are...

Safe! Congratulations! You are throught to the next round!

Cilla848, you're next! We all agreed that your entry this week was better than last week's, but we also think that it's still not the best you can do. We need the Cilla from the first three phases back! You're consistently good, but as we've progressed, round after round, good has proven to be insufficient. After the judges' grading, you are...

Safe! Remember what we said for the next entry! Congratulations!

Next up is Moshiimeagan. All the judges agreed that this was one of your least impressive entries. It just didn't do it for us on all scales. That said, your grades are usually sky-high, so, is your least impressive good enough?

No. Moshiimeagan, you are unfortunately in the Bottom Three this week. Good luck!

This next person wowed us this week. We told you that you were missing that 'it' factor in your entries, and whether it was your original plot, or your funky writing style, it won us over. Passionforwriting96, after the judges' voting, you are...

As Safe as they come! AND in the Top Two! All the judges thought it was your best entry yet! Keep it up and congratulations!

Then there were two. Raindrop and Laughterandjynx, one of you is in the Bottom Three and the other is Safe.

Raindrop, you and Cilla seem to be in the same boat with the slight difference of consistency in grades. Every single week, the judges seem to know what to expect from you and the predictability is hindering your progression in the competition. Your main problem was finding an enthrolling, original plot, but did your flawless writing style make up for it?

Laughterandjynx, you started off this competition brilliantly, but since the beginning of Phase Four, you have been regressing, and it showed this week. While your entry was generally good, it did not wow us on any scale. It was just average, which was a problem for some of our judges. However, your seemlessly perfect execution made up for it, but to what extent?

After the judges' grading, the person in the Bottom Three is...

Laughterandjynx. Good luck! Raindrop, you slid through once again. Congratulations!

So, we have our Bottom Three. Pamparampam, Moshiimeagan, and Laughterandjynx.

All three of you faced several difficulties in your entries this week, and since only one of you will survive, the cut was all the more brutal. Time to eliminate one of you. With the lowest grades of the week, and eliminated at 10th place is...

Pamparampam. We're afraid it's the end of your journey in Wattpad's Next Rising Star. You should be SO proud of your accomplishment getting this far. You beat 134 contestants to reach the Top 10 and that is a brilliant achievement in itself! Congratulations!

And then there were two. Moshiimeagan and Laughterandjynx, both of you have given us brilliant entries in the competition and there had yet to be a fiercer bottom Two. After the judges grading, the person getting a second chance, and throught to the next round is...

Laughterandjynx! Congratulations! You made it through by the skin of your teeth. That means Moshiimeagan, you take 9th place in Cycle 01. It's been such a pleasure having you in the competition and reading you beautiful entries. We wish you the best of luck in your future writing endeavours!

That's it! Congratulations once again to the Top 8! And a special congrats to Passionforwriting96 and DreamOnxoxo for making the Top Two this week!

Monica's up next, and it's not going to be an easy one!

Till we meet next, good day/night everbody!

9th: Moshiimeagan: 25/30 - 21/30

10th: Pamparampam: 24.75/30 - 17.5/30
