Ones who have not won a place may, as always, re-enter in batch three.

FIRST PLACE

Name: awashy22
Book: The Timeless Ship.

Review: Gotta say, this has got to be one of my favorites so far. First impressions, cover, blurb, title, they were catchy and intriguing. I really felt the emotion as I went on with the content. After I read it, it took me a while to get the shock away, I was totally speechless. Love the book all in all, there were only a few errors and awkward stuff, but it didn't have many major effects.

SECOND PLACE

Name: colettecollects
Book: One Shots, Peter Pan.

Review: Love the idea. Though it lacked a bit of emotion emission, maybe you want to improve a bit of play of words, just not too much though. Also, you might want to add a bit of details in the near end part of the story, like what were the reactions of the parents or include clarity on what exactly happened to his brother, like did he jump off the building or something kind of details, but make it still in the perspective of the kid, these are just suggestions. Nevertheless, again, love the idea.

THIRD PLACE

Name: lee-hsuehting
Book: Celestia.

Review: When I read the story, I felt the emotions vividly, and thumbs up for that. How the author played with words and all that, it was very touchy and emotional. Though I think it wasn't more about the stars, I felt that it correlates more of the colors(specifically shades of grey), and her views between things despite her situation. So this kinda reacts to the cover and the title, but it was merely an opinion and suggestion so...

FOURTH PLACE

Name: pour-me-some-liquor
Book: Love is Love

Review: Blurb wasn't much enticing. Maybe add a bit of a tease, or hanging lines to make us want more. Also, not everyone understands those colors, so maybe give a heads up with it being about LGBTQ. Cover is simple and wholesome. Nice usage of symbolism, it correlates well with the plot. But, I was wondering maybe you can add a catch-phrase right on top to fill out the emptiness. Also the line below the book kinda camouflages with the bg pic, so maybe make it contrast.  Maybe also add imagery, verbs alone cannot really depict what they look like, a few descriptive narrations would suffice. Flow was in good pace, even for a one-shot, there weren't many scean leaps, so thumbs up for that. It got clarity.

FIFTH PLACE

Name: Bunnybeebooo
Book: The Princess and the Princess.

Review: Well, the cover sure was princessy, though it wasn't the same vibe the story emitted. But well it correlates the story nice, just not the mood emitted. Also you literally stated the ending through the tags. It's fine to put tags, but only on what mood might be felt or some word that correlates well with the story, but, it's a different discussion when you put a tag which is vital about the ending. Also it bothered me a little that you narrated most of the story through the blurb. So I highly suggest, just give a teaser description that's gonna keep us hanging.

HONORABLE MENTION

Name: euwonlol
Book: Drowning in Love

Review: Well, first off, I like how you went with the story. It was chill and cool, not like other fanfics which were a bit rushed. Though I didn't kinda get the emotions in the last part although they were all kinda lovies. Which might be caused by the narration or play of words or how the plot was executed, basically , it was caused by how it was delivered. Nevertheless about the execution, I like the intro, it surely picked my interest.

Name: Purrr121
Book: Random

Review: So I read the last oneshot, gotta say, love the dark twist in the end. I saw improvement in the author's writing style from the first oneshot to the last, and thumbs up for that. At times I felt that the story was a little fast, given the various scene leaps. Maybe slow down and take time in narrating and describing to make it vivid. This improvement is also required for better mood emission for better impact on the emotion for the twists. Also, maybe do something about the cover, it definitely did not do its purpose to attract readers, same goes with the blurb. Anyway, love the idea.
