Theme: Reincarnation
Mas na-feel koang theme sa story na‘Grace’kaysasa‘Catharsis’. Masnaiimpressakosamga works na written in English but I’m also after the content. Doonakosa ‘soulful’.
Theme: Euthanasia
Again, same case sa first theme, mas doonakosa entry kung saan mas may naramdamanakong emotion. Para sa’kin, mas umangatang‘The End’kaysasa‘Long Live’. Although I was thinking namakakaisipsilangpakulo other than ‘nakakaiyak’ ‘pagsinabing ‘mercy killing’. Well, hindinaakomagiging objective. Malakinaang improvements nila from the Blind Audition.
Theme: Screentone
Gaya ngbinanggitko, this theme is just random. Nag-pop out langsiyasa’kin. Pero amazed akokasinagawannilang story. Manibela’s plot is somewhat kahawigngisang recent incident nanaibalitasa TV. Natutuwaakosamga writers nanakakapagprojectngisangsitwasyonkahithindi pa nilanaeexperience, lalonakapagnagawanilangmaivisualizeiyonsa readers. This story is lacking some facts though. On the other hand, ‘The Other Side’ charmed me. Yes mahiligakosafantsayperohindiibigsabihin nun ay papaborankonaang every fantasy story nananditosa contest. May effective at may fail. Mas gusto koang The Other Side.
Theme: Foot-binding
Itong theme naitoangpinaka-anticipated kosalahatng theme naibinigayko. ‘KwartaMulasaMuntingPaa’ is a good story peromas nagustuhankoang‘Red and White’. The latter is the story I’ve been dreaming of when I gave this theme. It is very artistic and the author did a handful of research, I can tell.
Theme: Expiration
‘Light’ and ‘Ignite’ are works far from what I’m expecting when I gave this theme. Romance kasi ‘yungnaiisipkodaiyan. Nevertheless, both story satisfied me. Masnagustuhankoang Ignite simply because mas gusto koang narration niya.
Theme: Nerve Gear
Hands down akosa‘Santa’s 3 Month Early Gift’ at ‘The Undead’. Both stories are artistically written and imaginative. Perosapagigingkumpleto, mas okay sa’kinang ‘The Undead’. That story is just lacking internal struggle perowalaakongtanongsa plot.
Team Awesome
Theme: Pedophilia
Mas pasoksa theme naitoang‘Lollipop’kaysasa ‘The Prince’s Princess’ .Wala ‘yung ‘diri factor’ sa second story, instead ay naging romantic iyon at wholesome. Hindi kosinasabingmaging dirty, but we know what is the theme, right?
Theme: Objectum-Sexuality
Mas tumataksa’kinang‘Eleanor’ kaysasa‘RegaloniAma’. Bow akosapagkakanarrateng Eleanor at mahiraphanapanng flaw, plus, believable angpinag-iisipng main character.
Theme: Narcissism
Walaakongmasabisa narration ng‘My Masochist’ at ‘Vis-à-vis’. Perosatinginko, medyohindinilamasyadongnakuhaang theme. Mas gusto kosanana forever alone angmgabidaperohinaluannilangibang love life. Okay langna may magkagustosakanila, pero ‘yungsilanaang mag-invest ng feelings saibangtao? It’s not Narcissism anymore. Mas umangatparasa’kinang Vis-à-vis. Like I said, na-mind blown akosa ending.
Theme: Incest
Parangtelenobelaangdalawang story under this. Sana ‘yungmasayang part namanngpagiging incest angtinalakay (don’t worry about me, It’s just an opinion). May magandang ending ang‘Minsan May Isang Rebecca’.May closure.Peromas gusto koang‘TatlongMukhangPag-ibig’. Appealing sa’kin ‘yung narration.
