OH HAHA sorry, got it. They'll be all remixed into the project.
Well thanks for inviting me. I hope it's okay if we give you our final answer in three days instead if two because two *might* not be enough. Idk yet.

I'm pretty lenient with deadlines, so I'm fine if you do it 3 days rather than 2 after, but no more than 3.

WAIT hang on oh no…
I mean, I'm only free to really do loads of stuff on Sundays… and it would be hard to give the results on weekdays. I'm not sure if I can make it.

So far, these are the ones that really made an impression on me:
Notes: Btw, LovelyLilianaMajesty's is a fanfic for a fandom I'm not in. (Miraculous, I think. LORD-TYRANNO and chocolatemeepgirl has been trying to get me to watch it xD) But, since I’m not into that fandom, I don’t think it’s fair for me to judge it. ^w^
Koschei_Oakdown's is also a fanfic… I think. xP
Florafeather’s ‘Lanterns in the Sky’- 9.5/10 in general
DogQueenGirl’s ‘Second Chance’- 8/10 for plot
6/10 for style
5/10 for character development
(notes: The ending was too predictable, but
somehow the whole thing fitted together quite nicely.)
PumpkinSpiced’s ‘Donuts, Ice-Skating, and a Whole Lot of Jesus’- 8/10 for character development
7/10 for plot
7/10 for style
(notes: surprisingly, I found myself rooting
for Mackenzie and her troubles.)
Liz314159265's ‘Beware Forswear’- 9/10 for plot
8/10 for style
5/10 for character development
scratchy10231‘s ‘Broken’- 9/10 for style
8/10 for character development
5/10 for plot
(Notes: the concept is against my religion, but the style is good.
Plot was cliche, though. ;-; )
-Redfur-'s ‘Living and Dead’- 8/10 for style
7/10 for plot
6/10 for character development
-CinnamonSticks-'s ‘Let your Light Shine’- 10/10 for style (actually, just plain description)
SeraphinaBlaze's ‘The Lonely Castle’ (A poem)- 9/10 (I don't usually like poems, but this is GOOD. )
smartcutecandy's ‘The Box’ - AHHh this is good. Idk what to rate it though, but generally it's 10/10 xD
TheEnderQueen's ‘Essence’- 10/10 for plot
8/10 for writing style
5/10 for character development
Misty-Rose's ‘The End’- 8/10 in general
littlepuppy14's ‘A Game of Clue’- 10/10 for plot
8/10 for character development
7/10 for style

Oof, I am so so sorry for not doing this sooner >.< This is long overdue from when I planned to do this, but I'll go ahead and give my thoughts on some stories that stuck out to me -
1. isIand's “Five Letters” - 5/10 for Character Development, 6/10 for Plot, 6/10 for Style
(I thought this poem was interesting. I really loved how each stanza explained the letters with the use of imagery. Though there were a couple of mistakes in the writing, mainly grammar, I overlooked those seeing a nicely written poem.)
2. pianorecorder's “Wendy Turner” - 7/10 for Character Development, 8/10 for Plot, 5/10 for Style
(This is a beautiful poem that holds a true message. I love how it's about spreading kindness and how not to treat others badly for their differences. The rhyming felt a little forced in the style, but besides that, I really loved it.)
3. smallBMScreator's “The Knocking Figure” - 6/10 for Character Development, 10/10 for Plot, 8/10 for Style
(This short story was absolutely amazing. The ending of it surprised me quite a bit, I was not expecting it at all. The use of imagery and other kinds of figurative language was astonishing, I can picture it clearly in my head. It is really well written in total.)
I'll do some more in a little bit, but these are a few that caught my eye from the entries I've seen so far

I've done with all the available entries.

Just to clarify: your second gray post is the one you want to make it, not the first?
Alright. Here's the stories on your lists I'm going to object to xP I haven't read through everything yet, but from what I've seen, here it is. (I don't necessarily think they are bad stories, but there are better ones for first/second/third place.)
thanks!
Lanterns in the Sky: Interesting that'd you'd put it in the style category, since that was the problem I had with it… the writing doesn't really have a style. (which, as I see it, is a writer's personal touch on his or her work. The tone of it. The feel of it. It's what makes one story different from another.) The writing's okay, as is the plot, but there are several better stories.
Beware Forswear does not have much substance. The plot isn't original and the writing isn't that great.
not sure about the poem either but i haven't seen any really outstanding ones so far
From what I've read:
I think DogQueenGirl, Island, Silverfall_, smallbmscratcher, and smallcutecandy should get places. We (all of us) can rate our collected stories later.

I've had a lot of trouble judging because there are so many talented Scratchers who have written something >.<
Though I am liking the rough draft of ForeverAnArtist's score card <3 I looked at the works written and I do agree with the choices so far
I'm trying my best to come up with my thoughts though, and I'll try to write them as soon as possible :0

Hi! Hope you don't mind a friendly debate!
Lanterns in the Sky: Okay, I wasn't sure what category to put it in, but (for me) style is the whole feeling that the writing gives you. The emotional tug that you get from it. And Florafeather's definitely gave me that. xP
Beware Forswear: I'd have to object on that. I loved the writing and the plot. It gives you a feeling of suspense while not being too horror-ish.
I agree that DogQueenGirl's writing was pretty good, but I predicted the ending (then second-guessed myself because it was too obvious), which doesn't really earns it the whole ‘good plot’ medal. (Oh gods, I'm SO eloquent. xD)
I didn't come up with a 3rd place for character development because I couldn't really find many character development. xD
