Fiction:

>Sin Vacuum
3/5
Meh tier. The narrator is annoying, the main themes have been done to death with little variation, the story is predictable, the characters equally so and for the most part unmemorable and not particularly endearing. The author can at least write a decently flowing story. So my conclusion is that the author is cruising his way towards being a semi-respectable Pahlaniuk or BEE. I'm curious as to why this got the TAR award.

>Shut Up Sauce
5/5
Now this was an absolute joy to read through. This sort of writing is what awesome novels are made of. The redwall-tier food descriptions make you hungry. The writing's often comical. The darker subtext is rather well-done even if you can see it coming. And it's non-intrusive, especially the conclusion. This would have been my TAR award winner.

>A Common Fertility Ritual
3/5
Would have done better if refined into a piece of poetry. I guess if you are into literature it is a decent descriptive passage but on its own it's neither here nor there. If you put this into the middle of a horror story or something it mite b cool.
