Unfortunately, this year wasn't the best for the competition. However, as promised, a winner will be crowned. The two pastas that have been submitted into the competition are Stare by Henriot5 and Killer Christmas by SweetPsychoGamerGirl. How I'm going to do this is the same way it was done last year. I will review grammar use, the story, how well it relates to the given topics, and so on from a scale of 0 to 10, and an overall rating of 0 to 50. Do not take it too personal if you feel a rating is too harsh, because I'm not the best critic out there.

Stare: By Henriot5

Plot: 8/10: The plot itself pretty well done. There is some nitpicks that I won't dive into, however it still maintains a good grip on it's scare factor, as I like to call it. And it feels like some effort went into writing it.

Originality: 6/10: That's a pretty hard one to judge. Because this does sound a bit like a repetitive concept, the "I did this and had the bad guy kill my friends." HOWEVER, what made this good was the experimentation that was involved in this project. I do enjoy how Henriot5 took the forumla, and added a bit of "zest" to it if you will. In conclusion, it's not too terrible.

Theme: 5/10: Minecraft WAS mentioned several times throughout the story. Although, the fact that this takes place inside of the game is not explained very well. The topic "decorations" is about the same. It's not very explicitly used, and when it is, it's not very smartly exploited. It's probably one of the story's weakest points.

Language: 7/10: Not too terrible. Vocabulary is rather humble, but it does make the story a bit less complicated to understand.

Spelling/Punctuation: 9/10: The spelling and punctuation is on point. I could not find any flaws whatsoever.

'''Overall: 36/50. Not too terrible!'''

Killer Christmas: By SweetPsychoGamerGirl

Plot: 10/10: I absolutely loved the plot. It feels so well done and I found reading it to be an enjoying experience.

Originality: 7/10: Well thought of. Nothing else to say here.

Theme: 6/10: About the same situation as Stare, although the existence of Minecraft is a tad more mentioned.

Language: 7/10: Once again, vocabulary is very humble in this story. There are a few exceptions, however.

Spelling/Punctuation: 9/10: The spelling and punctuation is well put together. I could not find any mistakes!

Overall: 39/50.

Now comes the moment of truth. Which one of these writers won? Drumroll please.
