You guys are all Genius's at work!👏👏👏
I am truly amazed, humbled and totally awed at the display of creativity and talent on the Forum! Everyday I think that no one can be a better writer than so and so and then suddenly a new member comes up with something mindblowing and I have to again rethink on who's writing I like the best!😃
Believe it or not, since the day I have got hooked to Fan-Fics on this Forum, my general reading has come down drastically! I find the quality of writing on this Forum to be of such high standard that I really wonder why some of you guys are still hiding behind the Net and not actually coming out with in a full blown way with you written work!
Really at a loss of words to surmise what I think of some of the stuff posted on the Forum, Hats off to all you who have been contributing with your time, energy, enthusiasm, creativity, talent and most of all hardwork, not only to the current Fan-Fic Competition but also for the Forum in general!😊
Ok, now coming to this FF Competition, its really unfair to select only 3 entries, especially when you liked all of them posted, in one way or the other! But I suppose the whole idea of a competition is to choose the First amongst the Equals, hence one has to make a choice!
I have tried to make a choice here based on the Criteria of ;
a) Originality / Concept / Uniqueness
b) Language / Choice of Words
c) Flow of Story / Story Building
d) Character Formation
e) Romance / Emotion / Humor Factor
To be honest, I found all the above mentioned factors to be present in all the entries posted for the Competition in some way or the other, but the three entries which seemed to have the perfect combination of everything are as follows;
No. 1 : Entry No. 11 - My Best Friend's Daughter / This is really the work of a Pro,guys!👏 I can't believe that an amateur writer could ever come up with a written piece of this high a stanndard!👏 I can't point out a single good thing in the story, simply because everything was splendid! Not only the best entry of the lot but also one of the best FF's I have read on this Forum till date! Dying to know who this hidden maestro is! (The 'Uncle Jai' was really a touch of genius! I loved it plus making a Housekeeper out of Billo was too good!😆)
No. 2 : Entry No. 6 - Accidental Valentine / Oh Wow!😃 This one really put a HUGE grin on my face! Crisp storyline, endearing characterisation and an almost effortless flow of words! The banter between Jai & Bani was fantastic! Loved it to bits!👏 Btw, the Romance / Humor Factor in this Story was the best amongst the rest!😳 (Also, Jai calling Bani, "Stupid Woman" had me in splits for some reason!😆 Very Cute indeed!) If the author of this story reads my comments, I would request her / him to please continue this story seperately, as it has great potential!
No. 3 : Entry No. 3 - Chandani Raatein / Once again, a story worth reading twice in one go atleast! Very Unique and Interesting Story line and, good choice of words / language and yes, superbly romantic😉 Very well written story!👏 Also, the way the author has connected the whole 7 year thing was superb!
Loved Entry No. 4 and Entry No. 7 too (The one that was disqualified)
All the Siggies were gorgeous and I am really envious of you guys, who come up with such beautiful creations, considering I still haven't learnt how to attach a Siggy to My Siggy yet😕
My Votes for the Best Siggy are:
Siggy G
Siggy D
Siggy A
Thanks to all the Participants for coming up with your Writings / Creations! And may the best person win!
Also, a huge round of applause for the Mods and the Admin Team for organizing the FF Competition!👏 (The Dollies were really cute😳)
Cheers,
MT😊
PS: Sorry for all the rambling, but I felt that mere voting would have never done justice to the hard work put by all you guys and hence, wanted to express my thoughts alongside my voting too!
