Thanks for entering!


*MushroomG* This is a fast-paced fantasy story, with the protagonist trying to procure the Magic Sword" that has been hidden by the Boudett family leadership, thus keeping its magic away from her people.

*Headphones* There is a an almost video-game-like set of adventures and traps that she must get past, in order to find the hidden, magical object.

*StarY* I like that this young woman would free her people and remove them from the worst leadership they have had to endure, all their lives.

Nice use of the fantasy prompt! *Smile*


Observations:


"Janella blocked one uniform sword with one sword s."

"Janella could barely hear them as they mumbling [mumbled] things like, “Let’s get her as one.”

"She had to use a spell quick to float over that pit." Inactive voice in an action scene. Try: She conjured a spell, to float over the pit.

“The answer to both questions are [is] – yes. *Down*

The answer to both is yes. OR, The answers to both are yes.

"Each time a fighter hit the circle they screamed – then turned to dust and disappear." [disappeared]

" She got burnt a little - and singhed a lot. [singed}

*AsteriskB* No need to indent paragraph and also skip two spaces for each paragraph. Either one shows a new paragraph, however, on WDC, for ease of reading, skipping a couple spaces between paragraphs makes it easier to read. Doing both is a little distracting.

*PointRight* This fantasy story has some great potential. The protagonist is a likeable person. Perhaps more development of the characters' historical beginnings, could have helped the reader picture their situation better. I know there is a strong word count restriction, but that's where writing tighter comes in to play. Eliminate unnecessary words or descriptions that do not add to the storyline.

*Clip* Thus, with a little trim here and a little development there, this story will be a wonderful action/adventure, fantasy, with memorable characters. Plus, you won't need to worry about word count when the contest is over and judged. *Wink*


Good luck with the contest, and again, thanks for entering! *Delight*
