[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 2059943, member: 4790"] Lots of judgements in, will be spreading them through the afternoon. :) P-kitty sent his belated Firelance Vs. NiTessine judgement: Firelance Vs. NiTessine Firelance: I have mixed feelings about this story. That’s partially because I dislike translating “gamespeak” directly over into fiction, especially fiction set in the modern day. Call it “Iquid’s mystical replicator” and I’m fine, call it “mirror image” and I’m immediately yanked out of the story and forced to think of it in game terms. The story itself never completely grips me as a result. On the other hands, aspects of the story were both funny and creative. I love the home for retired familiars, and I loved the picture use of the cat and the knife. Picture use in general was good. I’m amused by the meta-references to EN World – nice cat joke :D – but they didn’t skew my judgment one way or the other. Ultimately, I don’t find the plot of the story or the resolution to be tremendously satisfying. It seems driven by the pictures to a great extent, and that’s always a tough barrier to get over. NiTessine: It starts wonderfully. It ends with a dull, questioning thud. I’m guessing that NiTessine ran out of time. Based on the first half, this is a story that deserves to be lovingly spun out and crafted. Instead it just gets odd and surreal. I think the quality of NiTessine’s writing is slightly above Firelance’s in this case, but the story itself has no resolution and isn’t complete. Likewise, the photo usage isn’t well integrated. Judgment goes to Firelance. [/QUOTE]
