As with past entries I try to avoid writing combat due to the constraints of the jam - but maybe that's something I need to challenge myself with for the next one.  I will admit that I had just watched Lord of the Rings for the fiftieth some time, so the dwarf/elf friendship was on my mind.  It's certainly not the most inspired of relationships.  I'm glad you enjoyed it for what it is though!

Really excellent descriptive work, and an inspired use of fonts to convey tone.  There's a spark in the writing here - a spark that I'll admit my own entry is lacking!  

I really liked the characterisation in this one, but I must say I kept waiting for some reveal as to why Julius was so madly driven with this plan.   I was thinking there was some sort of sinister force at play...

I'm glad you enjoyed it!  I think next writing jam I'll have to challenge myself more thematically, but yes I do try to give a reason to care for these characters.

Great characterisation, pacing, and graphic descriptions of the enemy.  Well done!

A lot of story packed into a tight space, and a fantastically clever ending.  Nice work!

Definitely one of the more ambitious stories as far as scope and lore implications.  Cool to see someone wanting to take things to that next level.

I personally avoid writing combat given the limit of 1000 words, but you've handled it incredibly well.  Nice work!

Excellent descriptions in this one, really embraces some of the best  aspects of fantasy writing.  I would happily read more of this.

I'm happy to hear you liked it!  I had a lot of fun creating the demeanor of Bernhardt.

I really liked the sort of ironic take on the theme.  Nicely done.

Glad you enjoyed!

I kinda felt like I was cheating by not doing the mood board but I felt this captured the feel in it's own way.  I'm glad to hear that people are picking up on that.

Clear, concise, and tightly written.  This was a fun read that I could totally visualize as a tabletop event.

Really cool parallels between the two leaders.  I didn't know who to root for!

Really nice prose to this one.  Quick and vivid descriptions that fit the setting nicely.

Thanks for the feedback!

Excellent.

Original and engrossing.  Very well done!

This is a well put together story, I always enjoy scenes in government offices when the rebellion/war/conflict reaches their door.  One thing I would suggest is to avoid similes that hinge around real life (hit like a semi truck) as it pulls me out of the world a little.

Fantastically clever use of the one page format!

Great little one shot scene, I want more now!

Nice one, I really like seeing the ogres presented in a more thoughtful, introspective light, not just lumbering brutes.

Cute story.   Having it told as a narration provided some good opportunities for humour, but I'm left wanting to know who it is narrating it!

Really glad to see this formatted more clearly.  It reads much more coherently.  Nice work.

Well done.
