My entry for the second round of the Halloween Contest is up, and I'd appreciate any advice I can get on it. The deadline is less than a day away, and I'd really like to correct any flaws. Thank you.

I just realized that I haven't posted yet in this thread. Well, anyway, the real reason why I'm here is because of your story named 'Vagary.' I've read it like thirty times, starting two months ago, and it's still a thrill for me.

Hah, thank you, Poly. That's amazing that you've read Vagary that many times. I doubt I've read it ten times, and most of that is proofreading. That's a big compliment -- thank you very much again. :)

My entry for the third round of the Halloween contest is up. It's short and features a unique twist, so I'd encourage you to read it. Any comments on it shall be greatly appreciated.
Special thanks to Bhuvi for helping me find blind NPC's. :)

Okay, I'm sorry this is late - I got really caught up with things IRL.
I really enjoyed your epitaph - it has a nice flow to it and maintains its rhythm. I ended up reading it fast - but I wonder should it be read slowly? Because I find it too hard to read it slowly due to its structure.
I'm not too sure what the twist is; does it lie in the poem or is it the entire epitaph itself? This doesn't mean it's hard to find, it just means I'm too stupid to find it. :P
I loved your ending, by the way. It's a nifty little twist on words.

Snow: The epitaph really doesn't work without the twist. It ends on the line "acrostic poems", so you have to go back and see that the word used for it to be acrostic was "Zemouregal". This then links back to the Defender of Varrock quest, proving as a story for what happens after, and who wrote the poem (and also why).
Mors: Yes, I am glad we got that extension. I should have it written by tomorrow.
