Persephone

Figured. Im just out of match up ideas I don't read enough stories, and the ones I do are banned this time anyway. I just think Sandy would be good to use plus anyone from yours, but I can't think of anyone for Evyrus to face - maybe Xavier? idk

What do you think of an Aracai v Sandy match up? Too uneven?

Seen and replied. Will try and think of some more ideas.

Sheesh, kids these days can't even do one thing right.

Ah, then you've clearly failed to build me up properly in the first place

So devious, you!

Not too well personally, why?

Allergies. You were at a summer camp, good lord ... mine are suppressed by squashing my immune system with steroids

I did indeed

Frankly, the fact that I'm not sneezing volcanically puts it above last summer

So far, well, not bad. I've certainly had worse summers

*There’s a lot of “tell” rather than show here, and in these passages:

I don't think that is meant to be in there?

Such a shame I am cutting that scene; it's always amused me to think back on it

You can't judge it next round, you can judge it any time after that. The rule is you can't judge the same stories and preferably category two seasons in a row, cause that could then work up to three or four seasons just doing the same content.
Nothing stopping you casually reviewing it anyway I will only be doing it on an arc-by-arc basis until we reach Celadon.

I should really put it in a banner at the top of Galactic. I enjoyed the 8ES one: the random bit of poetry seemed very fitting for Alaska. She's got all the other moody teenage angst stuff down except for quoting Sylvia Plath. Also, I'm very proud that I knew that was the scene Not surprised Flaze suggested it, he did specifically mention it in his last review

Well, you won't have that benefit next time you have to do 8ES: I've begun rewriting the earlier chapters, so you'll have to read it all over again

I went and checked, and it made me snort. Since Im busy I only selfishly read my stuff for the time being (but hey, I bet half the authors will do the same ) and it made me laugh. I like how "And then the building exploded" required no translation.

Such fun! I have been meaning to read it so I hope to read as much as humanly possible, but the timing ended up being really bad for me this round.

That's a positive, at least. Glad it's good - hopefully the final product matches up.

And exciting! I should probably wait and read it though, as I still have a long way to go with Vaira for judging...

Oh wow, that is an insane amount of work to do That really puts basically all of my excuses into perspective.

Any time is good! Its only about a page long at the moment (it literally is just an excerpt) but I wanted to see what people thought. And exciting; I can't wait to see how it ends. I presume that this will be told from Vanessa's POV?

Hey. So, if you've finished judging, can I bug you for some feedback on the Galactic reboot preview I posted? I know it's a lot and its a bit out of context, but any comment would be really appreciated if you've got the time

Awesome Glad to hear it!

Hey. Did you receive my PMs regarding judging?
