Here's my scores:

Spoiler! :
Carlito - 3
SpiritedWolfe - 1

(I appreciated both, I just felt SpiritedWolfe's wasn't quite up to par.)
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Round 5


Sorry about the lack of reminders this round! I was hoping to have more internet than I did this weekend :/ Anyway, onwards with the results and I'll give the finalists a little longer to make up for it!

Group 1

@IronSpark - 6
@Pompadour - 5
@Megrim

Group 2

@Carlito - 9
@Wolfie36 - 8
@Meandbooks - 7
@SpiritedWolfe - 6
@hermione315

At the end of the semi finals, both @hermione315 and @Megrim have decided to leave us but we thank them for participating and applaud their efforts in this grueling contest! That means @Pompadour will be switching places with @Carlito who has earned a position in the finals and everyone in group 2 will be knocked out. But three participants will be chosen at random to receive reviews from our wonderful contestants and those three are...

@Meandbooks
@Arkhaion
@Wolfie36

Round 6


Each of the finalists will review the same three participants, though you may choose to review different works. You have until Monday 10th August 6:00pm GMT to complete your reviews and then the people receiving reviews will have until Sunday 16th August 6:00pm GMT to score the reviews.

Ready... Set... Go!

The time for reviewing is now up and I have already received one set of results. If I could now ask @Meandbooks and @Arkhaion to either post their own points here or to send them to me privately before the end of the week, the winner will then be announced. If I don't receive either set of results by 10:00am on Sunday then I will judge any outstanding reviews.

Good luck to both finalists!
