After a very long month of anticipation, here is the winner! First, we will explain how Vee and I (Jane) judged the books.


0/10 Grammar and punctuation - How good is your grammar? Do you know where to put dots and commas? Is the dialogue written correctly?

0/10 Spelling and vocabulary - Do you have many typos? Do you use the same words over and over, or do you use a large array of different words that make the story seem all the more real?

0/05 Creativity - Is the story a very common one, or is it as good as new?

0/10 Time and realism - Is the timeframe correct? Does it suddenly jump from night to day in the same paragraph? Are the things realistic - as far as possible when dealing with vampires - such as characters never using the bathroom, or not needing food/drink/blood.

0/05 How much it follows the prompt - How close it is to the prompt.

0/10 Characters and background - How much do you show of the character, and have you figured out their background? Do the side characters have personality too, and do you show it?

Despite your issues with grammar, punctuation, and spelling, the story is closest to the prompt, which earned you a few extra points. The background and character are the most detailed of all entries, and the story is not like something we commonly see. The story is also as realistic as vampires can get, too. That poor girl that Roland danced with... At least he makes up for it by adopting a stray dog.
