    I don't really mind it as you guys did your best, I just wonder if my grading, that basic say it's sweet from you two is really worth the points given?

    *nod nod nod* It was a really cute and sweet story! Pretty nice to read!

    We didn't have any particular categories we were grading the story, it was more on how much we liked it and how well written we considered it, so... Hai hai! 100% deserved! *hugs*

    @brasca123 Oh, I thought the theme meant it was in the NUF forums, not that that was the theme of the stories. Alright, thanks for replying. I feel better about it now, haha.

    Truly sorry about the unclear wording of the rules and guidelines for the contest.

    Next time we will make sure to emphasis the theme/rules repeatedly so that no one is missed out on a proper judging.
    *hugs*

    Although biased it is still something said from a judging POV. Don't feel that you got the marks you did because of that. Your story really was worth the read to us (^-^)
    Mm it might have been clear to us but not to everybody. I guess even if it seems like we're repeating ourselves we should put emphasis on the rules and the basic theme everyone should know to follow.
    Sorry again! We'll do better next time so everyone will enjoy it all the more!

    I thought it was stated in your very first sentence.
    Just to be fair, you did put that upfront. I can see however that it could be missed.

    Yeah, we did think it was enough, but... Judging from how many entries we got that weren't on topic, I guess the part of "you can write about anything you want" ended up being more prominent than the one about NU/NUF being the topic.

    Did you plan to do a sticky note for the forums? With the final results of course. Just checking.

    Sticky? Well, this kind of thing is handled by Tony, and I think he can only sticky the first post of threads, not any particular post...

    We are already really happy that he gave us more visibility by making the stickies in the first place, so... I guess we're good like this?
