Aleandra, your right, it was only when I came to trying to judge it did I realise how simmilar sequence and style are, I'm happy to not do it and fuse sequence to your style and let you do them, as long as it's ok with TU, *looks around* where is he? And I marked out of 10 too.
Lee (I'm just gonna call you that from now on, it's shorter ^-^) I didn't think you were raped, I was just trying to think of something for the example and that was the first thing that came into my head. I liked the ending too though, but I would've thought that dæmons needed to get any stronger bond to their human, but it makes me think of the latest series of digimon where the kids fuse with digimon spirits instead of having a digimon. You probably don't watch it and maybe I've just offended Behemoth for comparing his work to a kid's show but I think I understand now. It's an interesting concept, to be a whole.

I'm a little... calmer now. I'm going to allow you to remain in the contest, because I acted rashly, and also because I was so horribly angered and disgusted when I rated it, I've decided to raise the score I gave you to a 3.
As to the combining of the categories, they are sufficiently different to keep them seperate. I wanted them to be separate, because sequence is more like the order, and stlye has more to do with literary technique. Actually, all the spots have things that are shared. For example, if the grammar of a story is sufficiently horrible, the sequence and style judges can both take off points for it as well, because it hinders the story, and it disrupts how well it flows. The closeness of the categories is intentional. It allows for people to judge as harshly as they want. They may also feel free to take off points because of what they believe is offensive or inappropriate material, as I did.
I'm sorry I was so harsh.
Okay, so the final score is a 6.
3+5+4+6=18/4=6
EDIT: Oops, not a 6.
18/4 isn't 6, it's about 4.

Actually Id like to retract my story from the contest. Also, have I been the only one to enter a story , because I was under the impression that they would be posted here, and that they would be anonymous. ( Rule 12 was it ? )

well the order is part of the litterary writing style: for example whether you make it chonological or in the oposite order, or an intetionaly confusing order because the narrator himself is confused or want to keep suspense...sequence is part of style. But if you really want it done like that we'll try.
will the other stories be sent to us or posted here by you? (to keep the anonimousity?)

Yes, they were supposed to be anonymous. I will be posting the stories of anyone else, but I have recieved none. So, if you truly wish to retract it, then make sure the post containing the story is deleted.

Yeah, um, the entries were sopposed to have been sent in by the 1st at the latest, so had you kept yours in the contest, it would have won by default, but since you didn't, I will have to close the contest and say that nobody wins. I will make another contest sometime in the future, so, everyone, make the fics and send them to me, following the same rules as here except: Sign up with me first. I don't want to waste my time making something that was supposed to be fun. PM me saying you want to sign up if you want to be allowed to enter the next contest. If you decide to withdraw after already signing up, then PM me saying so. I do not want to waste my time.
I don't know when the next contest will be. I'll know when people sign up.
