Welcome to the Voting and Feedback round for MF&P#10!

Voting and Feedback guidelines

• Please take your time to read through all the entries before voting for your favourite work. The reasons you base your vote on are up to you, as long the vote isn’t based on whether or not you like the author or because you RP together.
  It would be nice if you could share why you voted for a specific work.
• Giving feedback is optional but highly encouraged. When giving feedback you should be respectful and constructive. It’s good to point out any flaws or the things you feel could be improved or why you didn't like something, but don’t be mean.
  Make sure to point out what you liked or what appreciated in the entry too.
• Contestants may (and are encouraged to) vote and/or give feedback for the other entries but shouldn’t vote for their own entry. If contestants wish to withhold a vote and only give feedback, that is good too.
• The entries are anonymous unless the writer asked for having their name added. That being said, writers may claim their work at any time during or after the voting period.
• The entry with the most votes will win, but in case of a tie a Contest Mod will cast the tie-breaker vote.
• You can vote for entries and post your feedback in this thread, but if you rather have your vote and/or feedback be anonymous you can PM it to @Calle.
• The voting period deadline is March 17th, 10:00 CET, which is 9:00 server time (both times are in a.m.).

The Entries

Guiding Lights

Lights.
Eight Stars.
Cresting the sky.
Reaching out ad infinitum.
White horses of the horizon.
The sleek battleship grey churning past.
Septuplets guiding the navigator through the abyss.
Cargo cowering in fear of the eldritch benthos.
An esoteric mind rises through the inky depths; searching.
Sextuplets winking out above the screeching tearing of steel bulkhead.

Clive the Legend, Clive the Great

by @Saiyan


There once lived a warrior named Clive,
On the field, left no man alive,
It'd take ten men together,
With ten brains so clever,
Ten arms holding ten swords to survive.

The strength of ten boars in his fists,
Ten to the power ten maidens he's kissed,
Aura ten feet tall,
Creatures all great and small,
Praise the legend, the myth that exists!

CLIIIIIVE the farmer! ClIIIIVE the farmer!
Ten insults could never besmirch him!
CLIIIIIVE the farmer! CLIIIIIVE the farmer!
Ten women took ten years to birth him!

one step wrong and you’ll be unsuccessful

What lead me here

by @Master EffeX

Marvel
Black Panther
Action excites Mom
Let's watch them all
Exhausted the MCU, we expand
To Daredevil, Fantastic Four, the X-Men
excited am I, something extra awakened inside
Inspiration ensued, pursued, from my mind exhumed - anew
A desire, to roleplay - explore, expand; all kinds'a stuff
New haunt, old desire, ignited by "X": Roman numeral 10

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

When the sound of a bird of prey reached Fenna's ears she turned to look at it. Was it hunting? There was something odd about its behaviour. Instead of flying away from them, it flew down and landed on a tree. "Hello there," Fenna said as she examined it. There was no doubt in her mind; this was the same falcon as back in the village, who had saved her from a skeleton. Instinctively she held out her arm and the falcon took the invitation.

"Aren't you a beautiful thing," she complimented the bird as she gazed into the intelligent eyes. She turned to Mackenzie, but couldn't answer the question. She didn't know how she did it, and maybe she hadn't done anything, but had the bird chosen her for whatever reason? But there was an unmistakable link now. She turned the bird to the younger woman so she could admire it from closer, and the falcon allowed her to touch its feathers.

The falcon remained with them for a while, but as they neared the camping site Fenna told it to go hunt before it would be too dark for it. She watched it fly into the sky, circle the area and then broaden its search for prey.

Fenna stopped on the area they would be camping and glanced around with her hands on her hips. This was a good place for a camp.

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

Lytse nodded. "Life certainly got eventful since we met Niccia, didn't it?" he asked Michael, who laughed at his Pokémon's comment.
"That is true," he said and he wrapped an arm around Niccia. "And I wouldn't have it any other way," he added.
"This is Ho-oh," Lytse said, nodding to Netherlu, who waved. "The feather came from him." Lytse summarized what Netherlu had told him for Michael, so he too understood how he had gotten the rainbow flames.

"I would still need to provide proof," Andy said. "They wouldn't just take my word for a gathering of legendary Pokémon from all regions. That's really a case of "pictures or it didn't happen". They would believe legendary Pokémon from the same region meeting each other." He paused. "Speaking about the dark Darkrai... he seems to want Niccia, and my nephew has been taken by him once, and we were able to stop a second attempt. Do you have anything that could help him stay out of Darkrai's grasp?"

Harcu followed Gavin's gaze and rubbed his chin. "Truthfully, I wouldn't put it past father to try and preserve the peace through sacrifice. Although, he could also opt to replace the current Darkrai with a new one if the problem is Darkrai. I don't have any knowledge about any of his plans, or insight in what solutions he may be fabricating."

Jirachi nodded to Belle. "Yes! She is over there!" he pointed to where the new Mewtwo was seated. "She hasn't really mingled much, but it's all very new for her. She's prettier than the old Mewtwo..." He lowered his voice and grinned. "But don't tell Gavin I said that."

Paranormal Activities [SporkoBug and Calle]

I don't really have anything interesting planned for the night. Shall we move on to the morning for that appointment Benjamin has? Ethan would meet them at dusk, and then he'd go to bed and the guys would meet April, I think?

1x1 Hogwarts ?

@Badger Puff Sure! Do you want to discuss it further through PM?

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Really? This I gotta see.

@Dark Cloud

Keep an eye on the sidebar then, on the 10th the entries will be posted.
