First Place

A Court of Shadow and Blood by Thewritingpaw236

Cover: 4/5

Grammar: 20/20

Plot: 20/20

Characters: 5/5

Total: 49/50

Praise:

For a while, I was under the impression that Sarah J Maas herself wrote this—that's how good this fanfiction is written. Thewritingpaw236 has managed to fit her own character snugly into the ACOTAR realm and make it equally believable, which is one of the most difficult fanfiction skills to master! If you're an ACOTAR fan, read this—and while you're at it, please tell the author to write more because they cannot leave me at a cliffhanger like that! — Felicia, Fanfiction judge

A Court Of Shadow And Blood not only sounds like a title SJM would use, but the story is well-crafted as well. Encountering a diverse array of friend and foe, past and present, this fanfiction contains emotion, description, and tragedy characteristic of SJM's works. Dive in for a great read! — Gear, Fanfiction judge

Second Place

What Comes After by KingEmpo

Cover: 4/5

Grammar: 19/20

Plot: 20/20

Characters: 5/5

Total: 48/50

Praise:

Real. This is real. When the world is faced with an apocalyptic future, there might be the occasional badass on a motorcycle with a club fighting zombies—but let's be fair, most of us are going to be like Neal's family, regular people who are trying to survive. Written in diary entry format, KingEmpo embodies their own version of the Life As We Know It story, when the moon fills the sky and the tides threaten to ruin all normality. A compelling fanfiction and a thorough independent read on its own! — Felicia, Fanfiction judge

What Comes After is one of those stories that might actually happen. Stepping into Neal's shoes as well as his high schooler worries, we get to see a new kind of apocalypse, one where the moon is suddenly closer to Earth. Very realistic—makes you start to wonder what you'd do in Neal's place. — Gear, Fanfiction judge

Third Place

Becoming Complete: Inchoate Book 1 by Icespirit94

Cover: 4/5

Grammar: 20/20

Plot: 18/20

Characters: 5/5

Total: 47/50

I feel like X-Men is getting overshadowed by Marvel a lot, which is why this story was a great revisit to the X-Men universe! Que is like a miniature Storm but with much more creative powers, a pretty dark past, and the kind of energy that makes me want to hug her sometimes. Icespirit94 has crafted an awesome beginning to Que's adventure, teaming with description, humor, and emotions of all kinds! — Felicia, Fanfiction judge

Becoming Complete is, in itself, a teenage girl's story of acceptance and belonging in the world. With or without powers, this fanfiction explores the trials of finding family for a young girl who has been living in isolation and fear of rejection for so long. No X-Men experts needed to enjoy this story! — Gear, Fanfiction judge
