Open Novella Journal

3/14/2019 - Round 2

I found out yesterday that I am one of the qualifiers for round two. Since I didn't get through last time I was simply hoping for one of the stories, but if more than one got through I expected at most maybe three or four would go through. Instead, only one story ended up eliminated, which definitely surprises me.

The eliminated story is Taming Destiny. I discovered just a few days ago as I was continuing to write the story that I'd spelled Agumon as Augumon a few times. I also felt the story was confusing for anyone who didn't know the fandom, but I remembered recently that Ryo's background information is in fact not well known let alone easy to find. He's not really a character many write about despite being a favorite over here, but I think this may stem from the fact many fans know he's got canon material outside of the Anime. On top of this Digimon can get confusing.

What really surprises me though is the fact I got six through. I'm not even sure if anyone else is doing as many as I am. Well, except for the person I saw who had a story which was started before Open Novella started. I've finished my prologue for Mystery Part 4, so I'll move back to my Open Novella entries.

Note - I actually don't want to be one of the round winners or overall winners. I simply want to make the list of those who advance to the next round.
