Before I say the winners, I just wanted to tell all of you, good job. I was surprised by the incredible writing I just spent a few hours reading. It was all great, some of them almost made me break my own rules and read ahead (but I didn't). I loved all of your stories so much, and it was so hard to cut some of your entries out, but in the end, I had to chose 10, and unfortunately some of you didn't make the cut. I also understand that not all of you are the same age, some of you are probably under the Wattpad age requirement, but I had to judge all of you fairly and equally, so I did not account for age when judging your stories. I apologize to those of you who may be younger, but the point of this was to be fair, and being fair means ignoring age.
I'll be messaging those of you who were eliminated privately with your scored rubric, and some pointers to help you improve your story. I just want all of you to know that the scores were very close, I had at least five with the same exact score, unfortunately those five had to be cut because I had too many people advancing to the next round. Please remember that all of this is for fun, and no matter who advances, all of you are wonderful writers for a very simple reason:
You wrote a story that you are proud of, you uploaded it onto the world wide web, on this website, on Wattpad, and you entered it in this contest. All of you should be very proud of what you've accomplished, and I look forward to our continued relationship as you all improve as writers. Please do not be discouraged by your disqualification, and remember that you'll probably be wining some sort of award anyway, because a lot of the fanfiction entries had perfect scores in one section or another of the rubric. So... without further adieu, the results:
Good Soldiers Follow Orders - redonthehead13
A Warrior's Heart - DarkLadyAthara
Palpatine's Apprentice - horseygirl13
Meridian Lights - MikleoKrein
Star Wars AU, Smite Kessel, 12BBY - swordpaint24
Watching You - XoWinterScorpioxo
The Galactic Frontier - Daxtreme
The First Born - AryaGrimm
Scary Love - blurrywhisperer
When Darkness Falls - Skywalker15
