Savant Awards 2022

Fanfiction Winners

Hi all, really sorry for the long wait. I've been delaying this for a while and haven't gotten back to it. The results for this genre have been compiled and judged by me, I only managed to read four works since the other participant's account can't be found (dreaming_beyond_). So if you're reading this, let me know your new Wattpad username.

Comments:
The cover is highly relevant to both title and blurb, but it doesn't stand out to me enough to make me want to read the book in that instance– just a suggestion, but I think the books can be more outstanding with a different color palate, as well as the title, being more significant. The title is great, and I can see why you named your story as it is tied really well together with your blurb. A wonderful synopsis with a clear rendition of the present circumstance of your protag, a short brief background about her love for books, and also the potential direction of the story plot. The plot is very interesting, and the pace is great. You've done a really nice job with your characters because the awkward parts, emotions, and thoughts were brought forth clearly, and I could relate to them all very well. Save for a few typos here and there, I enjoyed reading your book a lot and I'd recommend the rest to read it <3

Comments:
The cover is a little on the plain side but the title is very catching and immediately I know this is sci-fi fanfiction, although I have yet to see the connection with the fanfic part. The blurb is a bit short, and it can still be improved by filling in small details like when did Victor arrive on Earth, and what was his challenge as an undercover, instead of spoiling the plot with "Victor recruits Inhumans to the Kree's galactic army... until he falls in love with the fire-powered inhuman he's supposed to abduct."

You also have a tendency to eat your words, consider the sentence "Night. Ripe with shadows, the streetlight like jail wardens, overwatching skyscraper shade slicing the sidewalk." versus "The night was ripe with shadows, the streetlights like jail wardens, overwatching the silhouette of the skyscraper that sliced the sidewalk."

The plot is okay, but a little cliche. The commendable thing was the direction of approach– from enemy-turned-ally, and slowly there were mentions of marvel characters like Ms. Marvel, which made me realise that this was a Marvel Fanfiction since I didn't know what it was because there were no mentions in the blurb. The areas to improve on are the description and the way you write since the pacing is quite fast as you tend not to show a lot of things but rather tell them. There is also character development. There are too few showing of the character's emotions but more focus on task-oriented actions.

Third Place --
The Apartment by Rvelra

Cover - 6/10
Title & Blurb - 6/10
Plot - 20/30
Flow - 5/10
Character Development - 9/15

Enjoyment - 7/10
Language - 3/5

Comments:
The cover is a little plain and I couldn't tell that it was a Harry Potter fanfic until I read the blurb! So I'd advise you to chage it so that readers could see what your book is about once they saw the cover. The blurb still needs improvement although it does contain the element of mystery, however, more details are still needed because it doesn't really show much about Theodore such as his motivations and his current situation, it only showed the potential future. The title as well can hint on the HP fanfic aspect such as "The Muggle Apartment" instead of just "The Apartment" itself. The plot creativity is great, but the grammar and flow needs work. Pace is fine, but in terms of the character's thoughts and how readers connect to them is not quite there. There's barely much because paragraphs are a little too short. You have to work on introducing your characters, developing them, including the setting and the flow.

P.S. congrats on winning again! ♥️
