Based on that general theme, I suppose I have nothing to lose applying, as I may be able to produce something more spectacular upon your next opening. I'll apply shortly.
EDIT: Forgive me if my rubric is completely inaccurate. I'm hoping it won't be but I admit I struggle to review my own stories numerically.

Scores are similar on both rubrics, which is good. Please remember that in empirical terms, my score is inflated by roughly 10 points because of "Chapter Configuration". The only acute difference between our rubrics is in the "Other" category. This is because your titles were often irrelevant or not as effective as they could have been, and little impact was made. Your conclusions were also eerily similar to one another. This is not good, because "Other" is generally the easiest category to score moderately in, but unfortunately you scored the lowest (relatively) in it. In fact, before my re-adjudication phase (to check to for bias), you had a score of only 29 points in it. This should be your major point of focus, in addition to consistencies in dialogue and character personalities.
Note: Poetry was not included in this rubric, but, if it had been, the only major portions affected would have been "Format", "Symbolism", and "Flow", and none would have been affected for the better.
