Quaddy demonstrated excellent characterisation most of all, understanding of their world and its peoples, ownership of the prompts chosen, and overall strong worldbuilding through meaningful context and interlinking of ideas.
Roseille also had excellent characterisation and thoughtful description. The main area for growth would be implied links between concepts or taking cultural artifacts or behaviours a step deeper: why is this so? How does it interact with other elements?
Stik's strongest areas were embracing the prompt and characterisation of culture. That needs to also come through in their characters, which didn't always feel part of the world and sometimes stuck out as a vehicle for delivering the prompts.
The main pitfalls this time around were characters and making the prompt both a meaningful part of the culture and a meaningful part of the story.
Congratulations everyone! This is a hard contest and I'm happy to have so many contestants for round 11.
