I will be judging you entries with my faithful friend, J.S. No, she's not a person. Her real name is Judging Scale. xD
You will be judged on a scale from one to five
Whoever gets the highest score will win! Yay! Here's how me and J.S judge you.
Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Capitalization
C'mon, this is easy! Run everything over in Microsoft Word and you have an easy five!
Vocabulary
Vary your words. Don't give me boring 'give' 'see' and 'love'
Plot
Is you story a boring love story or a romance with a twist? Flesh out your writing for an easy five.
Description
Don't say 'I was in a meadow'. State, 'I was staring into a meadow, full of lovely flowers so bright they hurt your eyes.'
Bonus Points!
If you have cats or spaceships in your story, you will be judged on another 1-5 scale, depending on how their use was.
You can get a total score of twenty five. If two entries tie for twenty five, and will reread them and see which was better. Now gimme what ya got!
EDIT: I commented on a few entries without the character judgment so I deleted it and am only doing plot, description, Grammar, Spelling, Punctuation, Capitalization, and vocab. (Possibly bonus points)

hiya
when you check the spelling in my work (The Painting), can you please use the Australian English dictionary - otherwise there might be a few coming up as clangers, when in fact they shouldn't be.
cheers

no emotions? are you insane? how do you expect to get a story at all? everything has emotion! u should be more specific with your rules if you don't want a particular emotion included
-
-
I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear. I put the thing to show I mean THESE emotions right here:
or whatever. So sorry!!!!!!!!!!

-
Those are emoticons. You left out the 'c'.

Oops, sorry. I never noticed that. Thanks for pointing it out!
