This story is accepted.

8)NIGHT TO REMEMBER by @Doraashi

Title: 3/5 (That's quite a common title)

Cover: 2.5/5 (It lacked Creativity)

Blurb: 6/10 (Should have been bit more descriptive)

Grammar and Spelling: 10/10

Originality/Uniqueness of the Plot: 16/20 (Quite Simple and Common)

Characterisation: 10/10

Flow: 9/10

Plot and Character Development: 17/20 (Beautifully Written)

Overall: 7/10

A Short Review: The concept was quite common, though the way it was handled was very nice. The flow was very good and the dialogues at the end were also very nice, but what the end lacked was something motivational both for Naina and especially Sameer. No mention of the job or family at the end was something I think, if present, would have made it complete. Rest all was written very nicely.

This story is Not Accepted.

Flow: 10/10

Plot and Character Development: 18/20

Overall: 7/10

A Short Review: The concept was very common as there have been a number of Books on a fight getting solved in Rains. Moreover, things clearing out at the end could have been written better. However, The flow of events was quite nice with the reminiscing of the dialogues at the correct place. Cover and Blurb is something which should be looked upon.

This story is Not Accepted.

10)EK KAANCH KI GUDIYA by @Doraashi

Title: 5/5

Cover: 4/5 (Quite Creative, the doll being a bit more highlighted and maybe an image of Naina's daughter would have made it 5/5)

Blurb: 5/10 (Should have been bit more descriptive)

Grammar and Spelling: 10/10

Originality/Uniqueness of the Plot: 20/20

Characterisation: 10/10

Flow: 9/10

Plot and Character Development: 18/20

Overall: 9/10

A Short Review: It was really really well written. The concept was too good. The flow of the story was going too good until the end. I think Sana's reaction was not too amazing. I know some things are better left unsaid, but a proper closure was something I found to be missing. Rest all was really commendable.

This story is accepted.

Flow: 7.5/10

Plot and Character Development: 18/20

Overall: 7/10

A Short Review: Sameer's emotions were handled really very well and Rakesh's part was really admirable. However, I found that the flow of the story used to get disturbed the moment leap was shown. Since there was no Blurb and lack of Creativity in the Cover, maximum scores were left out. Rest all was quite nice.

This story is Not Accepted.
