Moneyking63
Creativeness/Originality: 10/10 Sure, it was rather interesting.
Plot: 8/10 Yeah, a thousand words is really restricting. But you did what you could.
Attention to Detail: 5/10 LOTS of grammatical errors, not including your overuse of numbers which did not factor into your score (since it's not a law to write them out). You also have 1,015 words.
Use of Character: 10/10 The Pokemon are the main characters here. It's so good it's almost like cheating. :O
Use of Pokemon: 10/10 see above
Overall: 8/10 Great story, grammar errors made me cringe though
Total: 51/60

MUCKSTER
Creativeness/Originality: 10/10 awesome
Plot: 10/10 awesome
Attention to Detail: 8/10 A few grammar errors here and there, but VERY detailed, moreso than my own fic, and I don't understand why your character has to be female. But hey, AWESOME read. Loved it. Also, 997 words, just under the limit, which is good :D
Use of Character: 10/10 awesome
Use of Pokemon: 10/10 awesome
Overall: 9/10 near greatness
Total: 57/60

Bellomence
Creativeness/Originality: 10/10 I would definitely read more of this.
Plot: 9/10 Yeah, it's there, budding plot ftw
Attention to Detail: 7/10 Back story counts as details. In 1,008 words I know about the fic's setting, main character, what she's like, where she lives, a dilemma, why said dilemma is such a big deal, and the main character's plan to help fix it. Not bad at all, I say. Also if you didn't catch it before, you have 1,008 words. There were also a few grammar errors, but nothing too major.
Use of Character: 10/10 Again, the only character we really meet is Bellossom, who is explained in lots of detail. Gengar is mentioned, and we learn a bit about him. Can't really ask for much more than that, considering the limit is 1,000 words.
Use of Pokemon: 10/10 nothing but
Overall: 9/10 Great story.
Total: 55/60

scores

MUCKSTER - 57
Bellomence - 55
Moneyking63 - 51

Overall, I'm fairly pleased, at least with the ideas behind the little ficlets. They could all use some polishing up, but I enjoyed reading them all. :)

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

So that 3 of the judges? So only 2 ore then we can all start on out TP! I got a good idea for it also.

Oh and PMJ she had to be female because it was supposted to be a male bulbasaur and if I went on they would get into a relationship togeather kinda like husbine and wife. I see now that I coudve swiched the genders... only changed like 2 sentenses ne way

Wow I didnt know a person only had so much good grammar......sorry I made you use all yours on the story xD

Thanks PMJ....the scores were high, but it seems the scores are pretty consistant.

We still need scores from Aqua Smeargle and Sargent_Tankian....if you guys can get those in sometime today, awesome. Im gonna make the special blanks for the Finals today.

^You have good grammar and all, but never forget your apostrophes.:D Aside from that, didnt = didn't, Im = I'm. Just a friendly reminder from that annoying moron who keeps on correcting people even though he makes several typos too.=F

Let's play a game! The first one who can pinpoint which of the two judges lied about the Word Count wins!!! Of course, one of them must be wrong. :)
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

I got the same word count as B-ray. Bellomence, would you mind if I continued your story? It's introduction wasn't enough so let me add a few last touches:

So Exeggutor was finally able to build the refuge. Gengar though found something that he despised so much. A former minister of the Acqua kingdom, Arceus. He was also a fugitive, but he was considered as the "Ace of Spades" in the deck of cards. He committed the worst crime that any citizen could ever make, to destroy the Acqua kingdom. Arceus abused his authority and power to gather all his henchmen. They burned the kingdom with fires that swallowed the kingdom as a whole. The townspeople were crying, their one and only home was destroyed. The people were afraid, but their mighty king Kyogre would not let them suffer. He gathered all his might and strength and made it rain for the entire day. The kingdom was saved and the minister was banished for all eternity. What made Gengar even more angry was because Exeggutor returned his power and authority to Arceus for him to help the refugees. Gengar could not stand Exeggutor’s ignorance and had all of the orphans return to the mansion. Exeggutor was sad but he didn’t give up. He told Gengar, “When the kingdom comes back, you’re free to return if your Mansion is still completely occupied.” Gengar ignored him. Arceus then told the refugees of his true intentions. “Being confined in the walls of the kingdom, you will never be able to see beyond it, the Acies itself is much more magnificent then this concrete cavern, all Starlies grow and leave their nests to hunt for wurmple.” Exeggutor was worried about the uproar it caused, and behind all of his actions had planned something out, something that not even Gengar knew. Exeggutor gave authority to Arceus to see if he would misuse it and to see if history would be repeated, but Arceus was clever enough to see through Exeggutors plans. The kingdom of Acqua was finally rebuilt, and all the homeless pokemon returned, but Arceus remained in the refuge. Since things didn’t work as planned, Exeggutor took Arceus’ power away from him, then Arceus left and never returned.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Sorry, forgot I was judging this round. I have school in 7 minutes, but I'll do all the stuff when i get home ASAP.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

B-Ray and I used different programs in calculating word count. I wasn't aware that he put word counts in his posts, but that's irrelevant.

The main point here is, I used the same method of counting words in all three stories - copy the whole thing, paste it into TextPad, view word count.

I got the same number MUCKSTER said he did - 997. Now, if my numbers were off, why would I get MUCKSTER's number (I assume he, too, used MS Word when checking), but Bellomence and Moneyking63's counts would be off? It would be safe to say that if TextPad was erroneous in counting words, then MUCKSTER's number would be off as well.

B-Ray's initial count was 982 for Bellomence's story, but then just told me that his count is 873 because he didn't include the initial paragraph explaining the setting, which I did count. Just because a sentence starts with "The story begins" doesn't necessarily make it the absolute start of the story.

I would check the numbers in MS Word, but I don't have it on my computer, and I don't have any other programs that can check word count.

I still think I'm right. But this is unimportant. It won't change any of the scores I've given.

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Bellomence:
Creativeness/Originallity: 10/10 Never read anything quite like it plot wise. Good job.
Plot: 8.5/10 Kinda skecthy but I get it.
Attention to Detail: 6/10 Grammar was really bad which took away from the overall read. I had to re-read many a paragraph.
Use of Pokemon/Character: 20/20: Really excelled here, got a good use of human life based on a firm Pokemon background. Nice job
Overall: 8.5/10 It was kinda choppy with alot of bad grammar, but overall was well written. I'd advice you look carefully at the tense of your speech, as you often should writeen in past-tense rather then present-tense.
Total: 53

Moneyking:
Overall Creativity/Originallity: 7.5/10 Reminds me of many a Pokemon episode and the pichu bros short.
Plot: 8/10 As PMJ said, hard to develop in 1000 words.
Attention to detail: 8/10 Nothing Special
Use of Pokemon/Character: 17/20 You didn't reall explain each pokemon's quirk and the guy himself could've used a little TLC.
Overall: 7/10 Not bad, but not great either.
Total: 47.5

MUCKSTER:
Over Creativity/Originallity: 9.5/10 Gotta give credit to PMD for the whole "I am a Pokemon" thing really XD
Plot: 7/10 Yeah.....not really. I'm sure that if you had more words it would''ve worked out well.
Attention to Detail: 9.5/10 Some grammar mishaps, but overall good.
Use of Pokemon/Character: 16/20 The settign was well developed, but the Bulbasaur's reaction to you wasn't.
Overall: 8.5/10 Longer WC would've helped.
TOtal: 50.5

Scoreboard:
Bellomence: 53
MUCKSTER: 50.5
Moneyking: 47.5
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Sorry, I didn't get home untill midnight last night and I went to bed right away. Anyway, I'm read the stories and get my judings up asap.

Thanks guys....I just woke up from my much needed nap, so please post when ya can so I can get this mega-post-rollout thing goin....its gonna be a bestie.

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Well, they're finally in. I'll be honest and say that I've never even read, not to mention judged, a fanfic before... Just so you know.

Monkeyking63
Creativeness/Originality: 6/10 I'm pretty sure pokemon are found in urban settings a lot in the anime, so it just doesn't seem extrememly original.
Plot: 7/10 It seemed a bit arbitrary to me.
Attention to Detail: 8/10 I was able to get a clear picture of what was happening.
Use of Character: 7/10 You din't really build on any of the chararcters much.
Use of Pokemon: 10/10 Definetley lots of that.
Overall: 7/10 This just wasn't my favorite of the bunch, and your writing skills could use a bit of work.

Total: 46/60


Bellomence
Creativeness/Originality: 8/10 Seems pretty original...
Plot: 7/10 I understand you were limited, but in this challenge you just had to put more into less, and not doing so hurt you a little here.
Attention to Detail: 8/10
Use of Character: 9/10 The backstory on bellosom built up one at least.
Use of Pokemon: 10/10 You got the pokemon.
Overall: 8/10 Not enough to really draw me in, but pretty good. Your wording was a bit starange in places, as was your intro.

Total: 50/60

MUCKSTER
Creativeness/Originality: 8/10 Somehow this reminds me too much of PMD.
Plot: 7/10 Just not enough depth; it's hard to with only 1000 words though...
Attention to Detail: 10/10 I got and HD picture in my mental cinema.
Use of Character: 10/10 Liked how you built up just a couple main charachters; that's really all the space allows.
Use of Pokemon: 9/10 Minus a point here because it wasn't immediatley clear to me that there were pokemon involved, and when they were it came as a bit of a shock.
Overall: 9/10 My favorite of the bunch; I could see this being used as the intro for a PMD-like game.

Total: 53/60

Scoreboard
1. MUCKSTER (53)
2. Bellomence (50)
3. Monkeyking63 (46)

There you have it; looking forward to the finals! Nobody's eliminated this round, right BR?
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Cool thanks for the grades! So only Max is left, this is his expertese where is he!

Also AS I was planning on that as a shock because I tried to make it semi realistic. AHHH THE TENTION!
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Well, now that all the scores/votes are in, I'd like to say it was a very close vote between Bellomence and MUCKSTER.....in a close battle, MUCKSTER will be recieving feedback from me in the Finals. Congats!

MUCKSTER, Bellomence, and Monkeyking63. Please check your PM boxes after reading this post. You should have a basic message with a Blank given to you. DO NOT MOD THIS BLANK. If you modify the original blank, you will be auto disqualified. If you do not know how to make a Trainer Pass, feel free to PM me....that much I can help with. As far as any other questions other than construction, I cannot help anyone but MUCKSTER.

The Challenge is simple. To construct a Trainer Pass.....this is your shining moment. This will be the only time that anyone else other than Lugia 58 has attempted to make a Trainer Pass, other than me. This will most likely never happen again. Please take it as a privilage and have fun with it. Though everyone will vote and score you're Passes, ultimately I will be deciding the winner of Project Custom. Im really looking for clean, flawless pieces of work that are creative. Every time I make a Pass, I try to think of new things I can do with it....its a very easy to customize piece. The backround and the pokemon and the info (optional) is all up to you. If you dont want the info in your card you can delete that part out....but nothing else on that card should be modded.

The challenge will be due Monday April 14th 2008 at 11:30 PM EST. Good luck. On Friday April 18th 2008, the Finals award show will take place. There will be a total of 33 Awards given out ranging from competitors to judges to Project Custom in General. Some of these awards will require live votes. Some anyone can vote on, some just judges. Heres the Final List of Awards that will be given. I will sort them for Public Voting and Judging. The Three competitors in the Finals are welcome to vote for the Public Awards.
