Bumping is unnecessary, I am sure the artist has not forgotten. Judging takes time, please be patient.

Please judge this competition, as it is overdue.

Ah since cica is busy/away at the current time I volunteered to step in/get this judged for you guys!
I've asked to be added/so I will be usin' the lines that cica made to finish up a design for you as well; (probably tomorrow, while i'm off)
Please forgive me if my notes are short, i'm trying to do a few things at once today;
It took me some time to read through all the forms/reread and decide, but I've decided that this one will go to;

carotid - I adored your form as it felt very real and easily relatable. Darn chickens! I thought the entire approach of writing in a casual sense really suited this kal and the personality was a wonderful slice of life format that made it a very personal sense of writing, and made me feel as if it could be someone I knew or could relate to. She has her problems, but does not let her problems control her and she'll still take things in strides and do what she's gotta do. (Seriously though, girl, too much flannel). It struck my heart and stuck with me a lot reading the forms. Simple in concept, maybe, but approached beautifully and incorporating unique quirks i really loved that fit together in a nice little puzzle, and made a solid character even with a limited prompt.

Decafbunny also volunteered to make a RU; and working with them we've decided to award a Ru to -

néktar - Your writing style in the form was lovely, and the somber origin of her silence and distance from family was a nice approach to a character who deals with something in stride. It was lovely developed, and the little talents/hobbies she has did a lot to help shape her as an individual.

With Honorable mentions to these!

Trans - I felt your form and character endearing, it reminds me of an old timey novel (which im a particular fan). I enjoyed the exploration into how her character changed through her early life and how her passion changed the course of the futures others wanted to set for her.

artemis, I found your writing to have a beautiful flow to it, almost a poem in a way but a wonderful way to paint this impression of a whimsical character that seems almost fantastical, while still having a wonderful ground in reality.

olive oil - As your form took an entertaining turn to the personality I didn't expect/that stood out to me. I liked how a rough lifestyle helped motivate her to turn to making others laugh and expressing herself through writing instead. (When she wasn't starting a fight of course).

Angelshy - I found your form as a nice classic interpretation and story, it reminded me slightly of pride and prejudice (in a good way!) you really did a wonderful job capturing the era and style and it suited the kal nicely.
kolyakun - I appreciated the historical nods in your writing and found it a somber look on the situation that used a strong setting to create a character, and show development in a unique way. It did a lot to shape a character without being explicit. Very interesting as a mechanic.

Tenturo - As I liked a lot of the ideas you suggested, but mostly this idea of her being a wanderer/explorer with an old soul. Someone with the wisdom of someone older than her, yet learning to know more and explore new places and the style you chose to approach it made for a charming and down to earth/natural feeling personality.

kanadensis - I found the concept you chose and the idea of the forest itself bringing her creations to life to be interesting; and the personality and the way it twisted in knots, yet still made sense to be mystifying as well. It gave me almost this peculiar vibe of someone who knew precisely who they wanted to be regardless of whether anyone else could understand.

Marsh - I enjoyed how your character development accepted and utilized his belief in strength and tradition, the urge to take control and action rather than standing back or letting things flow naturally around him. The personality had me very intrigued through reading it, and a gondolier is certainly something I don't see often in character development.

piqeon - I found the character you built up to be very endearing in this huggable kind of way. You just wanna hug the poor guy and drag him outside for a decent walk-youknow. As long as the pollen doesn't kill him. ANYWAY, I found it to be a lovely interpretation of the prompt and I enjoyed the little quirks the character you formed displayed.

Error - Your writing here was absolutely lovely, and the imagery used created a great environment of sorts to the character you were subtly creating underneath. I liked especially the running connection to mice, energetic- but silent; it said a lot without a lot of words and it was nice to see it used in this way as opposed to more common comparisons i've seen made.

Dreamlight - The thought and consideration put into your form was evident, a lot of the elements you chose as character factors were lovely, this idea that understanding is just as important as being understood created a very strong, relatable character. Accepting of her imperfections, but willing to learn from her mistakes.

j a y. b i r d - I enjoyed your interpretation of her youth as fumbling around in a grey world unable to figure out herself and lost in her own personal mystery, I also though the irony of her having this trouble through her youth only to pursue mystery and strangeness in her adulthood to be a quite well considered point that I don't see very often in development.

Mima - I really enjoyed the counter measure you chose, I saw a lot of people interpret this prompt as the character coming from wealth or high class, but having the character be opposed to this and have dreams of being elsewhere, of wishing for better in a different sense was really refreshing. Well done.

Obliivous - I liked the use of escapism in your writing, interpreting the character as escaping to the world of nature, that no matter how far her life takes her- will always be there for her in exchange for how lonely she may have felt otherwise.(edited)

novaks - I appreciated the variation of making a downright unlikeable character- almost likeable in the fact they make no efforts to adhere to what others care or think of them, and admirable in their own determination. I also really enjoyed your writing style, it reminded me almost of a sort of poetry slam- harsh and realistic, but beauty to the words. Lovely.


If you want feedback/suggestions or just to hear my thoughts on your form you are MORE than welcome to pm me and i'll be happy to respond. It may take me some time, As I am feeling under the weather/ overall kinda not chatty, but I will get back to you as soon as I can.
