I had a hard time, too, because they were all great! I really had to scratch my head on this one. In the end I decided to base off a combination of extent of detail, new insight, and explanations of thoughts and reactions as they read.
Well, I have kind of established the ranks based on when I read them so here goes nothing:
Spoiler! :
Carlito - 3 SpiritedWolfe - 2 megsug- 1
~Thank you~

This was really difficult to rank because I thought everyone gave some really solid points and thoughtful reviews (And it'll probably only get more difficult from here....)
Spoiler! :
Megrim - 3 Meandbooks - 2 Pompadour - 1
I really appreciate the time everyone put into their reviews!!
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
As soon as @AdjiFlex gets his review in to me I'll score (as long as it's by tomorrow). It may make it confusing because I had a name change, as you were supposed to review for Wolfare1. I am her, just under a different name ~
Definitely not an easy one but my scores are below:
Spoiler! :
Megrim - 3 Arkhaion- 2 hermione315 - 1
As others have said though, all three reviews were really great and I'm so happy to see everyone going the extra mile for this contest! It's fantastic to see so many really good quality reviews
@AdjiFlex and @Pompadour you have just over seven hours to get your final review in to avoid disqualification. You can do it!
On holiday for round 2: Pretzelsing hermione315
I'll tag you all in a post at 10:00pm tonight with the scores for this round and the pairings for next round.
I really need to press you for those scores everyone - you have one hour before I'll need to fill in. The people who haven't ranked their reviewers are:
