Before I present to you the top ten of Fantasy, I have many things to say. The stories I have read for this genre have blown away my expectations. They were 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 all of you with your rubrics, and some pointers to help you improve your story. The scores were even closer than they were in Fanfiction, we had multiple ties and only one or two stories that went below 26/35. Unfortunately there were seven people cut, but this was a very difficult decision to make. 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 fantasy entries had perfect scores in one section or another of the rubric. Also, don't worry, none of the English as a second language entries needed the extra points, so they won fair and square without any help whatsoever. So... without further adieu and in no particular order, the results:
The Gifted One's Daughter - taislebaron
Tabitha - DarkLadyAthara
The Last Philosopher - NickfEast
The Keys of War -AryaGrimm
Dark Path to Heaven - HalloweenBox
Anomalous: The Seven Deadly Sins - MadKea
In Firefly Eyes - iiisla_
A Crown of Lies - Cameron-R-Lewis
A Journey with Sekt - LovelyMiserable
The Storyteller - The_Fantasy_Author
