Review of Dear Me 2025

Review by Ẃeβ࿚Ẃỉ...

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

Rated: E | N/A (Review only item.)

Hello ♥HOOves♥

I found this item recently and just now took the time to read and review it.

Initial Thoughts:

I immediately knew this would be a good read just from reading the first line. I so agree with not making resolutions in the New Year. A tight list is best, I think.

Many larger lists are doomed to fail. Those long-lists can be so out of reach or get boring after the first month go by. We no-resolution peeps refuse to bore ourselves by pretending those words on a long list will ever be completed on that particular year when they've been ignored for decades! Small and manageable is the way to go.

Further Thoughts:

I L-O-V-E-D reading your encouraging list of small changes. I also loved that you removed any guilt attached to anything that was not completed on a day. It was wise to keep forgiveness alive and well even if not one chore on that list was done in any day.

Parting Thoughts:

Your item, which I see is an entry for the Dear Me, official contest has another thing about it I loved ... it's concise. There's no need to write a couple thousand words waxing poetic about what one needs to do to accomplish a to-do list that may or may not be practical to get done. I like realism! This story definitely weaves life and the tolls it presents and how everything can change life in a most dramatic way. Healing takes much time and patience. And it's solely an individual pace of progress. You paint a vivid picture of how difficult life has been going on without mott.

Conclusion:

I found your light of hope for each day you move forward. You have protected your health and heart and spirit from expecting failure simply by taking of control what you can or cannot do each day on that list.

This is one of the best Dear Me stories I've read. It is so relatable as it deals with aging and physical restraints. Boy, do I understand.

Wonderful job with this item!

Until Next time--Heal on!

Regards,
WebWitch

Review of Angel Eyes--Jeff Healey Band

Review by Ẃeβ࿚Ẃỉ...

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

Rated: E

| (5.0)

Hi Ichabod Crane

What Brought Me Here:

I was perusing your portfolio and found more Word Searches I haven't solved, yet. This is one of them. Imagine, it survived from January!

Further Thoughts:

This Word Search puzzle consists of 17 words to uncover, all pertaining to the song Angel Eyes by The Jeff Healey Band. Of course I enjoyed listening to the video while solving the puzzle.

For the most part, the puzzle was a quick and easy solve. Of course I had the little hidden word to get out of the way within words already solved. That word is "me" which spanned two already solved words which I had to pry out of its clutches and into the open!

Parting Thoughts:

Kudos on another love-themed songs from the Eighties, word search puzzle. It was fast and fun and entertaining with the music playing.

Conclusion:

Great job! Thanks again for creating so many of these for me to enjoy over the past few months.

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Hi Sung'manitu

Well, this one was a nice change of pace. I like the Ancient Rome words subject matter.

Jumping Right In:

I have to tell you, this one kept me hopping around for sure. Several words hid deep inside others on the tile. I actually started this last night, but decided my eyes were too tired to keep at it. Today, seen with fresher eyes, it finished getting solved fairly quick.

Further Thoughts:

Great Roman word choices! Latin words ... always fun. Statesmen? Who could ever forget Brutus and Caesar? It's so Shakespeare. They were fun to uncover other than the couple that made me chase them.

Parting Thoughts:

I just love that you put together some very unique Word Search Puzzles. Whether Arkansas, holidays or other historical facts, you create some of the most interesting brain teasers to solve.

Thank you for tagging me on the Newsfeed.

Conclusion:

Funtastic!

Until next time--Puzzle on!

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Hello PureSciFi
Thank you for entering December's What A Character's Contest prompt.

Initial Thoughts:

You keep the reader on a fast track with what is happening with Taffane's job and losing it. Taffane is a Cargo Controller for almost twenty years, but is being relieved of her job. She objects to the reason.

Further Thoughts:

She's told their was an explosion threat which never happened before. But with her experience she is asked for help at the Life and Death department. Her experience is now welcome.

Observations:

"That's not [your] responsibility anymore," says Stephonim. "It's mine."

Taffany, Taffane OR Taffene? The name changes in the story. It gets confusing with the names.

Parting Thoughts:

Stephonim and Honciran are covertly bringing weapons aboard endangering everyone's life aboar. They wanted Taffane silenced about the wepons, but their communication about the weapons was already broadcast so everyone knows.

Conclusion:

I think a little tightening up of the story with more attention to some errors made as stated above would make this science fiction a nail biter for a reader.

Nice job!

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch

Hello Amethyst Agape Angel

I am reviewing your entry for:

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Initial Thoughts:

Marie worked for years at Waffle House and was tired of the same old job. She wished she could open a bakery. That was just a big dream of hers since she needed money to live on and had to keep working to pay for apartment and bills. Having a lazy boyfriend didn't help matters!

Further Thoughts:

It was a fantastic pot of gold kind of luck becoming and alternate winner of a 10M dollar lottery jackpot. It didn't take Marie long to quit her job and head to Greensburg to collect her winnings.

This part was predictable, I must say. Who'd have thought but for one letter Marie V Maria, well not to mention social security number mismatch would be the downfall of her dreams. But was it?

The Discovery:

Marie discovered that she didn't want to go back to her old job and boyfriend. If it's just a job, well she could get one there and start over. And that's what she did.She saw a help wanted sign in a bakery window.

Parting Thoughts:

The reader is left with the thought that the bakery job would ultimately lead to her dreams, some day of owning her own bakery. At least she was at a job she would love working at as well as learning the ropes of running a bakery.

Conclusion:

Well done! Good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Hello LightinMind

I am reviewing your entry as:

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Thank you for entering the December Contest.

Opening Thoughts:

Your title on first sight gives pause for one not familiar with its meaning. However, the brief description took care of that handily. "A Special Forces operative makes an intelligent career change"

I was anxious to dig right into the story to find out what would happen. I was expecting it to be an adventure and a nail-biter at the same time. I was not disappointed!

Further Thoughts:

I enjoyed the adventure you take your reader on. The pure physical exertion of what this special forces lieutenant went through conjured up amazing images in my mind. It was like being right there in the moment, trying to escape the bullets.

I also liked that you added footnotes to define what certain terms meant. It was quite helpful.

The action was fast and furious at the start. Then, the story moved into more of his personal life. With his wife expecting a baby, he had to make tough decisions of hoe best to continue in his military career choices. He did not want the child to be fatherless, as his missions had been very dangerous and even set-up to end up in disaster.

Suggestion:

If I could suggest that you separate the words "below" as the are repeated close together in your opening two sentences. It is very noticeable and takes away the strength and opening paragraph should have.
...the gully below.
... beneath the waters of the pool below.

Parting Thoughts:

You did a wonderful job working with the prompt. And, indeed, Roger is an amazing character. He got the desk job that made use of his valuable skills, and kept him out of harms way. He would train others to know what to look for while on a mission. His boss, Sandra, proved to be very intelligent in intelligence. It was a satisfying conclusion.

Good job! And good luck with the contest!

Until next time--write on!

WebWitch

Hello Prof Moriarty

I am reviewing your entry for:

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Thank you for entering the December contest!

Opening Thoughts:

Your title and brief description let the reader know that this wife is in a terribly abusive relationship. It also mentions she's a mother and that she stayed in the marriage for the sake of her sons.

Further Thoughts:

Oh, my, what a terrible beast this husband is. And, her own sons turned against her to appease their rich dad. They were more concerned about their inheritance than showing one bit of kindness toward their mother.

Furthermore, their mother was expecting a baby, later in life being in her mid-forties. Neither dad nor sons wanted her to have that child.

Additional Thoughts:

I found it interesting to learn that Indian law prohibits the sex determination of a fetus.

Observations:

Font size not easy on the eyes. *eyes* Formatting is a little off.When I tried to enlarge the font, it made the sentences run off the page.

Dr Nudrath Ali emerged emerged from the bathtub a new person. Repeated "emerged."

Parting Thoughts:

The ending had its shock value, I must say.

I have a couple thoughts on that being as she is the mother of those boys. It's hard to imagine, but it appears money became more valuable than family. Divorce was an option since her boys were already teens and seemed to prefer the structure their father set for them.

Conclusion:

Sure does look like her life has improved a great deal!

Good job! And, good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Review of My life was a circus!

Review by Ẃeβ࿚Ẃỉ...

In affiliation with The WDC Angel Army

Rated: E

| (4.5)

Hello Wandering Thoughts

I am reviewing your item for:

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Thank you for entering the December contest.

Opening Thoughts:

You make mention in your brief description that the story is based on your life. It made me want to jump right in and find the correlation to a circus. That was handily answered as one who had done much traveling helping to set up charity circus performances to raise money. There is indeed a lot of kindly souls who devote themselves to helping others, Shriners, Masons, etc.

Further Thoughts:

As the story goes, raising money is a good thing for these event, but unfair recognition and compensation cause much dismay. Leaving the job to seek appreciation somewhere else didn't turn out to be the best as far as earning a living. The loss of a roommate and loss of that rental space made it even more difficult.

Observation:

electrical permits, dumpsters (yes you guest [guessed]correctly) and portable toilets,

Parting Thoughts:

It seemed to be many years of struggle with some emotional difficulties and even spending time in a psych ward would tear most people down. However, the time came when employment was back in the picture ... a new life unrestrained by the burdens of past emotional struggles.

Conclusion:

Well done use of the prompt! Good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Hello THANKFUL SONALI Love my family

I am reviewing your entry for:

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Thank you for entering the December contest.

Opening Thoughts:

How interesting that sounds: Culture Circle Reality TV, doing cultural episodes from around the world.

Arun had wanted to do something beyond running his father's business. He wanted to travel, find excitement and adventure that probably doesn't involve jute.

Although he was quite successful running that business.

Further Thoughts:

Arun knew he'd have to take the leap of faith and break away from a domineering father and strike out on his own. He was 57 years old, after all!

Observations:

You've just got thing thing in your head as a freak. Did you mean to repeat "thing" consecutively? I did't know if it was a term used within the family.

Pratap, at sixxty, [sixty]

Parting Thoughts:

Arun found a new profession later in life. The reader thinks he probably made the right decision.

Conclusion:

Good use of the prompt! Good luck with the contest.

Hello WriterRick

I am reviewing your entry for:

"What a Character! : Official WDC Contest"
Official Judge's Review

Initial Thoughts:

Margaret, a high school art teacher for 25 years has reached the point of monotony, year after year, doing the same thing. She wants more out of life. She wants to do something she truly loves ... being an artist.

Further Thoughts:

She finally handed in her notice at the school and prepared to try another career. She was a bit rusty in creating her own images on an empty canvas, but nevertheless, kept trying .

Soon, she was able to put out a few of her own creations. Some sold for modest sums. She was offered to showcase some of her work at an exhibition.

Observation:

I thought the narrative might have been a little more telling rather than showing. Margaret could use a little more fleshing out. But her former job and newer one did come across to the reader, and she got what she loves to do.

Parting Thoughts:

Margaret found her dream and a new career teaching community art classes. He joy of art was no longer a chore and a bore!

You followed the prompt and showed how her longtime job was changed to the dream of her lifetime ...creating her own art.

Conclusion:

Well done! Good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Hi Amethyst Agape Angel

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering our January Dialogue-Plus, contest!

First Impression:

Lol, I love the cover image on top. Once I read the story, I knew how relevant it was.

Rules Followed?

Return a giant stuffed panda bear.

Dialogue with the return counter cashier

Word count given and within limit.

Further Thoughts:

I enjoyed the dialogue and the challenge facing the cashier. Of course the panda was purchased from one of their online services so they couldn't find any inventory in their physical store to print a return receipt for the refund.

I liked how helpful Debbie, the cashier was. It irritated her boss, though. She found the right code when she scanned the tag on the panda to her boss's dismay, it was one of their returnable products even if bought online.

Parting Thoughts:

I enjoyed the humor and the satisfying ending. This is where the image above deserved another visit on the way out.

Conclusion:

Good job with the prompt! Good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Hello 💙 Carly - February is here!

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering our January Dialogue...Plus contest!

Opening Thoughts:

Your job was to have a dialogue with the returns cashier attempting to return an 8-foot stuffed panda bear.

You followed the prompt handily!

Further Thoughts:

This had a good flow of dialogue that conjured up many images in the reader's mind. I could just imagine a grown man lugging that panda bear all the way through the store to the return counter. Embarrassing to say the least.

Poor dude finds out it's not sold at the physical store and if purchased online, needs to be returned the same route. Oh, yeah...try packing up that joke-gift for return to cyber store.

Parting Thoughts:

I really enjoyed how this guy finally got rid of the panda. Before that actually happened, the thought of him sitting on the panda's lap outside the store was priceless!

Conclusion:

Take the money and run!

Hey, he made a little girl very happy.

Good job with the prompt.

Hello Sumojo

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering the December Dialogue-Plus, contest!

Jumping Right In:

You painted quite a vivid picture of this man trying to manipulate a giant panda bear around people waiting in the returns line at the store.

Some snarky dialogue was woven in to further highlight the frustration of everyone around this nuisance toy.

Further Thoughts:

That poor little girl!

Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, but...

The dialogue moved along quickly even though the queue was held up over the return of one monstrous item ... pink panda?

A girlfriend worth dumping for sure.

Observation:

I’m sorry Ma’m, [Ma'am]I didn’t mean to knock your child over.

Parting Thoughts:

All rules were followed.

Dialogue with return desk clerk
Giant Panda bear being returned
Word count given and within limit

I loved the humor. How could this type of situation not be humorous? The no-receipt return was of course bound to fail the refund process.

The bribery ... priceless!

Great job! Good luck with the contest!

Hello there, Wordsmith John

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering our January Dialogue prompt.

Initial Thoughts:

The dialogue was humorous and crisp. It has a "normal" tone for two friends talking about life at home while someone awaits his turn at the return counter. The poor customer with a giant panda needing to be returned.

Further Thoughts:

Poor guy, stuck with the impertinent cashier, whose mind is on anyone but him, it seems. There's no manager available to help with the return. *ticket3*

Observation:

A little slip of [/] here. "She might take you back(/)."
Easy fix when the judging is over.

Rules Followed?

Parting Thoughts:

This was return mayhem for sure!

Humorous read.

Hello iKïyå§ama

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at {item: bardshall}. Thank you for entering our January contest, Dialogue...Plus!

Initial Thoughts:

Loved the stuffed Panda's name Chin Li!

Good set up with maneuvering the panda up to the return counter. Loved that the clerk begged the customer to place the panda on the floor. But of course the big lug was already on the floor.

Further Thoughts:

I enjoy comedy, so I knew I'd enjoy this dialogue. And of course I did.

“This receipt is five years old, sir.” Now the tense drama begins. It is difficult to return a five-year-old item back to the store.

Classic-Funny:

“I don’t care if the Queen of England – God rest her soul – loved it."

Adding the wife's reaction to the panda ... Priceless!

Parting Thoughts:

You followed all the rules.
Dialogue with return counter clerk

Returning a giant stuffed panda bear

Word count included and within the limit.

It was a great blend of dialogue throughout. The beginning had the apology to the customers or items being bumped by the awkward, huge, 8-foot panda bear.

I see no place that needs an edit. You followed the prompt handily and made it fun to read.

Conclusion:

Great job with the prompt! Good luck with the contest.

Hello Ichabod Crane

I'm here reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering Our January Dialogue, Plus, contest!

Let's Get Started:

This was a fast-paced dialogue at the return counter. Even so, it seemed that that Panda bear caused quite a disruption in the store clerk's day.

Good amount of visuals as I pictured the giant panda being stuffed into a Cricket, and the officer laughing too much to give a ticket. The huge stuffed animal in a buggy and raced to the door to get to the exchange counter ... Lol!

Further Thoughts:

You managed to fit a lot of visual craziness around this panda bear at the return desk. I guess an 8-footer would attract a lot of attention.

You made it fairly easy to get them to return your money. It could have been more torturous, I guess.

Observations:

"credit card would be debited for the price plus tax." I think you meant debit card be credited.

"Now after fighting it down my stairs, and wrestling it into my Cricket. Nearly getting a ticket but the officer was laughing too hard."

“Mam,step over to the register..." [Ma'am]

Parting Thoughts:

You followed the contest rules:

Returning of a giant stuffed panda bear.

Dialogue with the clerk at the return counter.

Word count given and within the limit.

You made it a fun and fast-paced read, and, oh, the imagery.

Conclusion:

Well done!

Hello kingcastle1

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering our January Dialogue Plus prompt.

Initial Thoughts:

Your dialogue had plenty of humor in the exchange between the character trying to rid himself from possession of the panda at the return desk.

There was the questioning clerk wanting to know why he wasn't satisfied with the purchase. *money*

Further Thoughts:

I like the two for one bate and switch type of promotion, the "Oreo" consisting of a black and white bear. Actually, a panda was sent which is both black and white. He wanted two bears, one black and one white.

Adding a Pandora subscription ... Priceless!

Problem is, it plays music it sees fit for what's happening in the owner's daily routine.

Observations:

All of these song titles need to be capitalized.

I go to the park Strolling through the park plays.

When I get in my car I start hearing Rihanna’s shut up and drive plays.

The Panda hits his wrist again and the tune changes to Should I stay or should I go by the Clash.

Parting Thoughts:

I see this one was entered almost at the deadline. You didn't have much time to do any editing at that point. It appeared a little rushed, especially with the music titles.

It was a fine effort though.

Conclusion:

This was a fun read. It had some room to be better with a little editing as suggested above. That aside ... Well done with the prompt and your unique take on it!

Until next time--write on!

Hello Angelica Weatherby- HappyVDay

I am reviewing your entry as a judge at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering January's Dialogue Plus... contest.

Let's Jump Right In:

Your job for this prompt was to describe a person returning or trying to return a giant 8-foot stuffed panda bear at the return desk at a store.

The Twist on the Prompt:

It is unusual, indeed. I could never imagine that the Panda toy, itself actually went to the store to return itself due to the abuse received by its child owner.

He worked very hard pleading his case for the store to take him back so he wouldn't have to return home to the youngster who disliked him and was ripping the stuffing out of him.

Observation:

As per rules:"Some descriptive narrative may be added waiting in line, but the "meat" of it must be in dialogue, while at the counter to return a giant, 8 foot panda"

I see that this item was created on January 5th. That was pretty early in the month, meaning, it had plenty of time for a few edits that could help build up the dialogue better.

To me, the dialogue could have used a bit more crisp back and forth between clerk and "Panda." The long, 5th paragraph narrative by the stuffed panda bear took the reader's attention away from the interaction with the clerk.

Parting Thoughts:

This was an unusual play on the prompt. I only wish the time was taken to split up the dialogue and make it a more back and forth and a little less long narrative by the giant Panda Bear.

Conclusion:

Good effort with this prompt. Good luck with the contest.

Until next time--write on!

Regards,
WebWitch

Hello there, skeason Welcome to WDC!

I am here to judge your entry at "The Bard's Hall Contest"

. Thank you for entering January's Dialogue contest.

Jumping Right In:

I knew this was going to be a fun read on line #2! The dialogue between the person returning the 8-foot stuffed panda bear and the return cashier was hilarious.

What I loved:

Bear with me, here....
I loved the play on words throughout the dialogue. It was humorous, and wildly punny. At times, I thought I would have to berry my head in a pillow to keep from laughing to myself out in public.

Further Thoughts:

You did an excellent job following the prompt.
All rules were followed ...if not, I couldn't bear it!

Observation:

Mammal

[what]

I am trying to do is get the story so I can figure out what we can zoo.

Parting Thoughts:

I loved this fun read. And, I didn't feel bamboo-zled at all when I reached the end. Plus, I bearly let out a groan after getting through those puns.

You kept the dialogue moving fast. I wood not ask for any changes there at all. As forest I can see ...it was a clever use of the prompt.

Conclusion:

Great job!

Until next time--write on

Hello Ichabod Crane

It is I, your local WDC Witch.

Let's Get Started:

Oh, you know I was singing that song while uncovering the words on the tile. I could picture Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty. Stevie has that voice that really hits the emotions as far as Eighties music. Her clothes were the rave of youth back then, too.

Further Thoughts:

This fun and musical puzzle consisted of 24 words related to the song, Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around.

It was a good paced puzzle as I began solving it while I had a song stuck in my head.

Parting Thoughts:

I have to tell you, I now have that song stuck in my head.

I blame you for this!

But what can I say? I practically begged you to create more word search puzzles for me to play. And yes, it is playing since it takes me away from other drudge work of the day.

Conclusion:

Good job! Great fun!

Thank you!

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Regards,
WebWitch

Review of Need You Tonight--INXS

Hi Ichabod Crane

To say my love of word search puzzles may have reached the point of being in excess ... Nope! not yet!

Jumping Right In:

22 words to uncover on the tile. These moved rather fast for me. I was all over them at a fast pace. I think I'm getting real good at this stuff.

The puzzle consisted of words relating to the song "Need You Tonight." You, as you usually do to be sure I'm entertained while solving the puzzle, included the music video. I did like INXS back in the days.

Parting Thoughts:

It does amaze me sometimes how a 22 word puzzle can be simpler to solve than some 15 word puzzles can be. I believe it is how the puzzle randomly mixes letters around that cross other longer words and they sort of hide. It mostly happens with the tiny words. They can really get themselves hidden deep within.

Conclusion:

You did a good job holding my interest with some of these videos from the eighties.

Thanks again for creating yet another Word Search puzzle for my insatiable consumption!

Until next time--Puzzle on!

Regards,
WebWitch

Hi Amethyst Agape Angel

SURPRISE! I bet you didn't expect to see me here?

Let's Get Started:

Wow! I love this Word Search puzzle...Imagine Dragons

You did a wonderful job selecting music videos to accompany the puzzle. It was right there at my fingertips to enjoy while searching the tile for words related to one song or another. Good way to entertain me while I was being entertained solving the puzzle.

Further Thoughts:

There were 25 words to uncover relating to Imagine Dragons music that accompanied it. Many were quickly found. A couple gave me a run for my money. But then, I wasn't in a hurry -- I was listening to music!

Parting Thoughts:

My daughters loved going to their concerts whenever they were in their area. I remember how excited they were to let me know.

I so enjoyed listening to the music videos in the background.

Conclusion:

I found your puzzle to be so refreshing ... and fun! Thank you for that.

Great job!

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch

Hello AmyJo-2025 refund, please!

You made me a happy camper tonight! Thank you for creating this brand, spanking new, Word Search puzzle for me to try my hand at!

Jumping Right In:

This has to be one of the most fun puzzles I've had to solve that were not holiday related. I love the choice of words you picked. The use of homonyms was a brilliant one. It hit my muse in such a playful way!

Further Thoughts:

The coolest thing in this 25 word puzzle is that some of the same words appear more than once on the tile. This means, someone trying to solve may see the word on the tile but it doesn't open because it isn't in the right spot. I had to chase down words such as "airs" and "tares" which had other spots on the tile.

Parting Thoughts:

This puzzle is exactly what I felt like doing tonight. My brain got a different kind of exercise, plus it was lots of fun. That's always a good thing!

Conclusion:

Amazing how you were able to put this puzzle together from the time I advertised for one, until I was tagged with its appearance.

Great job!

Until next time--Puzzle on!

WebWitch

Hi Schnujo's Giving Away GPs

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this contest forum before now.

Initial Thoughts:

You do an amazing job running this contest. And, you've been running it for years. I'm talking way back to 2017! That's a long time to be running a 12 month contest.

Further Thoughts:

Your forum is well-laid out. The rulers are clear. The prizes for those finishing the year are amazing! You are so very generous. It makes for quite an incentive.

Also, you boost community participation in different contests being run each month. This month, you included "The Bard's Hall Contest"

As you kn ow, Steph and I co-run this contest and we really appreciate the highlight, here.

Of course, you offer 3 contest prompts to choose from, making it an easy way for an entrant to chose one prompt that suits them best.

Parting Thoughts:

I should state that you are quite lenient with those who enter by offering them another chance to catch up when they couldn't get it done on time.

Conclusion:

This forum and the contewst really rock!

Until next time -- Create on!

Regards,
WebWitch

Hi 👼intuey

Why am I here?

I saw your forum advertised on the Newsfeed recently. I popped in to view all your lovely exclusive MBs and awardicons.

What I Loved:

You have different packages to choose from, and even Community MBs for self-indulgence or gift giving at a lower cost. The prices are reasonable, too.

Intuey's Award is so beautiful! You even have trophy orders whether exclusive or Community.

Parting Thoughts:

This is a fine idea, T. It's perfect for gift buying. Only 15,000 GPs for a Community MB. That works out great when one wants to buy a couple MBs close together but wants the receiver to get CRs.

Conclusion:

I am happy I stopped by. Next time, I will buy!

WebWitch
