I would like to give all five points to four; it just stands head and shoulders above the rest for me. Thanks a lot to all the authors for another succesful comp though, and hope to see you all here for the next one.

 

@Niez why are you out of favour?

contgratulations to entry four, and three, and all the entries for a very fun round.

 

Spoiler: The story I wrote

I'm obsessed with creating Ollivander headcanons, so this was really fun to write. #4 was me : )

I wasn't sure at first whether I wanted to pick up my old, unfinished entry for the "Abstract Magic" prompt, because I didn't like the original version and I couldn't figure out why. But once I started reworking the story, I was so happy with how drastically different it turned out. Once again, DLP pushed me to puzzle over a story idea until I turned it into something I really liked. I love that y'all have these comps, they are so much fun.

Thanks so much to everyone for taking the time to review. All your comments, from the compliments to the concrit, helped me understand what worked and what didn't, and I'm looking forward to changing a few things before I publish.
