Looshususus 17 loom point contest WINNeR!

Who says the grading should be done by only one person. I think a small jury would be more appropriate. You two would get my vote for being in the jury, personally.

I think it would be impossible to do an essay about chaz being assassinated unless the topic were more narrow. It seems that all of the contestants, myself included, chose to go the route of fiction

I think it should be done by 1 person because:
1-grading between several people would be inconsistent and unfair.
2-having everyone on the jury grade everything would be too much work
3-Looshus gives 5 looms for the grader...if he keeps passing them out like this there'll be none left for the prize!
4- grading on punctuation/spelling alone is pretty straightforward and doesn't need too many people.

Just my opinion!

results?

[WITCHCRAFT]

I am pretty sure I am going to get the most points for spelling and/or grammar errors.

Loooshus never said if the points were taken away from your score, or if the story that gets the most points wins!

-1 point
Misspellang. Or P'unctuation errors.
-2 points
run on sentences, as they tend to distract from what would otherwise be a perfectly normal sentence that conveys its point in a timely manner while keeping with in a well defined and concise border or dots, small hash marks, colons, and semicolons which when added together form a language that most english speakers collectively define as constituting a well formed and productive society of the civilization of sentences.
-3 points
Obvious grammatical fallacies.
-10 points
 No capital letters on names, or at the start of a sentence.

Are those negative dashes, or simply a bullet-ed list?

Elf Princess, you indeed have a very very low score, according to my grading method.  You reached the max of -100.
However, if I kept grading lower, someone else would have done even worse.

Everkistus would have been like -400 probably, because for some reason he never wanted to capitalize "chadz", and that's minus 10 points each time (according to looshus).  He used chadz's name a lot in his essay...

It's funny because you were making yours bad on purpose.  He was trying to do it well and BOMBED.  lol!!

[Strider]

Alright then, let's get to work. English is not my primary language, so I think native british or americans got the edge on this one. But still, worth a try.

It's finished, please take a look. Note that chadz is a name specifically typed in lowercase and therefore overrules typical elements like starting with a capital letter. I assume "Evil Knight" is also a name.
Spelling was horrible and text was full of errors. Punctuation errors, all kinds of errors humanly possible. I got about -300 score on this, there were so many of them that I might have miscalculated.

Everkistus wins 

[WITCHCRAFT]

I have been thwarted...

-10 points for not capitalizing chadz? He didn't say that, he said for not capitalizing names. If his name is intentionally lower case at the start, then that's how it should be. like e. e. cummings, for example. When he writes his own name, it is lower case. chadz's user name is lower case, therefore nothing should be counted off for capitalizing his name.

I win, looms or no looms.

That does make sense, chadz does spell his name lowercase.
