I was torn between 1 and 4 but ended up picking 1 because I liked the ending.

[Baka Baka]

Btw, entry 3, 4 and 5 were part 1s so... >:


I finished reading everything in class, and entry 1... 1... 1... Wreaked my heart. I almost cried. T.T

[Rush]

I'll vote anonymously, but damn, they're all pretty much above par.

[Joss]

1 and 5 are good, this time i give 1 my vote

[leo_ck]

Shoot!!!! You know I really hate touching stories!!!! I can't take them!!! GAH~~~ Damn moth******** sigh... I giving my vote for the first one...

#5 is good. I quite like it. But the explanation is vague, er...I feel terribly lost and what's going on. I really hope there's more? Or a way for you to clarify? Maybe all was "clear" to the boy, but not to me. Besides that, you wrote well.

#4 Finish your crap. Oh wait that's me.

#3 I think I've seen the movie to this. Movie was better, it had 3-D :]. Not bad in all honesty, as like mine, unfinished. But it seems to be different from the actual tale. Will look forward to it's development/completion.

#2 Most intriguing but short. More! ^^

#1 It had pictures...that's why you won! Cheats! lol. A few minor grammar errors, but nothing that really mattered. Not too sure what else to say, it was sad & touching. Short & sweet. Fabulous way to end it in my opinion.

1 & 5 are a hard choice for me. I can't quite choose 2 or 3, because 2 is too short, and there wasn't much development yet in 3 (As I'm sure is the same case in my own story...but at least we entered, right guys? lol).

I almost wasn't going to vote for #1, because it was border line not the genre/theme that was suppose to be. But it's close enough, in it's own way it had it's own "magic". #5 You had a good story, but #1 wins. Whether because I'm a sap for romance, or because of the pretty pictures I am not sure, lol.

All around good entries for this Ssotm. I look forward to next one's entries and to the completion of the stories all entered here but did not finish. Make sure you finish em and don't just stop . I'd like to see how they play out.

My vote goes for #1. It was interesting, short and with a good ending. I can't really tell if it was into the theme or not, but it got me involved and...I might have a weak side for romance as well xD.

[Yellow]

my turn for criticism lol

Entry one- It was a bit cliche but the ending lessened the damage. also can you really say "It follows the theme" isn't it fantasy.

Entry 2-Intense! but short, felt unfinished. If you added more it could of been an automatic win.

Entry 3- wasn't getting really into it, not vibing with the alice in wonderland theme.

Entry 4- don't have much to say on it. guess I'm sorta in the middle on this. No negatives or positives lol

Entry 5- I sorta like the idea and it has potential to get even better.

My decision- well it was between 1 and 5. Although entry one does not follow the theme this person did go out the way to even add pictures. Also I'm a sucker for romance. However the winner is entry 5 since it's more fitting and although the writing can improve what made it win was this line. "The world is beautiful when you watch it from your heart, not your eyes." with saying that i think romance should be the next theme entry 1 made me want to read more of that lol

[Fatentity]

Lol seems we all some-what agree on entry #1 not being what the Theme is, but it seems we have many suckers for romance :]. And the added pictures were nice. It was a good short story.

Aw, no detailed feedback on mine. At least there's nothing negative, so I'm happy.
