I'll just move on for now. I'll pretend you've forgiven me.
Remember not to be discouraged if you didn't make it past the first round. Your books were amazing, and the scores are pretty high on this group. Don't worry, I'm sure you will do fine in other competitions.

No. No sad dances, please.
So, we finally come to the scores, huh? Just one final note: If you would like to know why you got the score you got, feel free to ask, but please don't ask me to do it again, and don't get mad at me. I'm sure your book is wonderful. I'm sure it would have gotten better if I had read beyond the first chapters. Still, I'm kind of busy. I can tell you why you got the score you got in a particular category, but nothing else.
Also, this is how I give the number on the graphics category:
10/10: Your book has a nice cover and banners or pictures inside.
9/10: Your story has a nice cover.
8/10: The cover is not very neat, but it has potential.
Originality: 10/10. Plot: 10/10. Grammar: 10/10. Characters: 10/10. Graphics: 8/10. Descriptions: 9/10. P.S. GUYS. GO READ THIS BOOK. RIGHT. NOW.*
*I really enjoyed this book, but it does contain some scary stuff. I mean, it's definately not horror, but expect some interesting cliff-hangers and sorcery.
**Please, consider that for most books I could only read the first chapter. Maybe your book gets better as it goes on, so forgive me if you consider your score incorrect. Try polishing your first chapters, remember it's the first thing your readers... Um... Read.
Sadly, only a few move on from this group. Not because the books were bad, but because if we only eliminate like two books from each round, it'll be March and we'll still be here.
Next round soon! Please understand that we have an international team (Cool, right?), so we have to take our time reading the entries.
