I wish you all the best of luck!

Mystery Author #1: No Title
Mystery Author #2: No Title
Mystery Author #3: Cerulean Dreams
Mystery Author #4: Zeldamon
Mystery Author #5: When the Murkrow Caws.
Mystery Author #6: If...
Mystery Author #7: A Midsummer Festival like no other
Mystery Author #8: Dark Shades of Gray
Mystery Author #9: No title
Mystery Author #10: Child of Destiny

Get to it guys! If anyone has a last minute entry, PM me and I might be able to cram it in.
 
Yay, finally :p

Here be my votes:

#1: When the Murkrow Caws
#2: No Title Author Nr. 1
#3: Dark Shades of Gray

In that order.

Good luck to all.
 
#1: 'Cerulean Dreams'
#2: 'No title' (Mystery Author 9)
#3: 'When the Murkrow Caws'

To be honest, I didn't really like any of them. I analysed each one and ordered them, and these were the best 3 out of them all.

I picked Cerulean Dreams because it was the most well written story, it led up to the twist and decieved the reader perfectly in that sense. I chose no.9 because I like stories that involve wishes, and... I don't really know why I picked the Murkrow one, lesser of evils I guess.
 
1.Dark Shades of Gray
2. If...
3. 1.

I didn't pick Cerulean Dreams because if you didn't realise it's a complee copy of Ash goes on a date. Or at least to me it's practicaly like that way.
 
I've never read any fanfiction based on the Pokemon Anime, so I've never read Ash goes on a date.
 
Imagine that, I never read "Ash goes on a date" either, and I'm preeeeetty sure that goes for a lot more people. In the end, probably 80% of these stories can in the end be seen as a rip-off from something else, thats how it works. But not everyone reads everything...
 
#1 If...
#2 Child of Destiny
#3 Number 1.
I really did like the first one, the other two were just the next two best.
 
Not smart to post that No78, we now know which story is yours. At least, I found it easy to deduct. You best edit that post.
 
Actually, we already know. Back in the original thread, he said his story was done, then a story was posted a few minutes later.
 
So far this is what we got:

Number 1.=5 votes.
When the Murkrow Caws=4 votes.
Number 9= 3 votes.
Cerulean Dreams=3 votes.
If... =2 votes.
Dark Shades of Grey=2 votes.
Child of Destiny=2 votes.
The rest=0.
 
Wouldnt it be with points again? Like a Nr. 1 spot is 3 points, a Nr. 2 spot is 2 points, and a Nr. 3 spot is 1 point? Cuz if so, I get:

Number 1 = 8 Points
Cerulean Dreams = 8 Points
Number 9 = 7 Points
When the Murkrow Caws = 6 Points
If... = 5 Points
Dark shades of Gray = 4 Points
Child of Destiny = 3 Points


At least that's what I'm getting from it that way. Scampy, some explanation?
 
For now it's just who has the most votes, there are no points. I'm just playing around with different score systems. The old point system felt rather unbalanced, but that may just be me.
 
Well, this way, you can't really vote properly IMO. Cuz if thats the case, I really dont want all three to get one point from me, just the very best. If you catch what I mean. This seems far more imbalanced because somebody who picks a number 3 as "lesser of the evils" will automatically give that story the same amount of credit as that person's Nr 1.

I, for one, don't want Shades of Gray to get the same amount of points as Story Nr. 1 from my vote, simply because I feel Story Nr. 1 is far superior to that one. I think that goes for more people.
 
1. If...
2. Dark Shades of Gray
3. Child of Destiny

Lou Cypher's point system seems to work better than a point for each. It seems more accurate and I'd like my favourite to gain more than my third.
 
Man, one day left. I guess after the hype of the original competition interest has significantly died down.
