WFWA JUDGING

SPOILERS

I did not expect to be this emotionally invested in this. AAAAAAA WAVE WHY. I'll just sit here sobbing in a corner okay? First off, Holly/Wave is literally one of the best ships I've ever seen. I really like the pacing of the story, it's perfect and isn't too slow or fast. I love how fleshed out Hollytail was, she held onto the past, and how she doubted herself and lashed out at her Clanmates. When Wave died I think my heart just fell into pieces. I confess, I was rooting for Holly/Wave from the beginning.

The Ocean is just such a beautiful story I don't have many words. I'll try to be constructive- there were some spelling mistakes, as well as calling Longstar Tallstar as Hollytail was running off to save Wave. Holly/Wave was built up beautifully, starting out as what could be just a friendship and growing into love. It was an awesome choice to have Hollytail scream at Wave, and to hear Wave's response and how she felt so bad about Foxfang's death. Though I'm complimenting it, my heart was shattering at the time and I was worried Hollytail and Wave wouldn't be a thing anymore.

This was nominated Best Overall Story, and just...wow, definitely, I couldn't agree more with whoever nominated. This has a beautiful ship, took my heart and crushed it under your cruel boot, and has such amazing, relateable characters.

And I figured I'd share with you my reactions as I read, which I had to subject poor Vani to.

-i swear to god if these two aren't gay for each other im gonna fricking kill stuff

-"Next to me lay her. Calico fur nearly pressed against my body, sleeping soundly, silently, peacefully. She was closer than usual, but it comforted me." gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay

-"She was beautiful and I loved her." YES YES YES YES YES

-still crying over this story SHE GAVE UP HER LIFE AND HER RANK AS DEPUTY AND EVERYTHING FOR THIS SHE-CAT THEN THE SHE-CAT DIES OIHGEFIAHFIWDHAFUIAFIUH

Basically, this is an amazing story and I love it so much.
