    <_<

    Look forward to more stories tonight! My break is ending, but I'll look at your scores when I get home and make a more detailed reply (lol).

    It was really interesting to see how the judges rated the stories for me. They had a lot of opinions I would not be able to have as an editor and host rather than as a reader. Thanks again @rdawv @makenai89 @Qwaztop !! I really enjoyed seeing your reviews ~

    It is what it is, I think judges have their own preferences. I mean some stories are good, but none really should have gotten a 10 out of 10 perfect for thematic quality, but there it is.

    That being said, I too am curious as to how I can improve Any feedback will be appreciated folkes, especially what I could have done to bump up the coherence from a 4 to maybe a 5 or 6.

    The title should have also made it obvious

    It looks like that low score on cohesiveness was from @Qwaztop! We'll have to see if he has any feed back on where it could have been improved ^_^

    Spookiness, as the contest says. Most of the time I read the submissions in the middle of the night (witching hour and all that) and depending whether I was yawning or if my skin was crawling. Also, whether the story chose a particular stream and followed it or not, and how the content was relevant or not.

    The low scores I give for cohesiveness for some submissions means I actually re-read the stories several times, because it usually meant I was scratching my head after the first look through.

    It is just my personal opinion. Makenai for instance enjoyed it.
