I'd like to thank all of you who followed and/or participated in this OCT.

It was my first time hosting one, and it was a blast.  Friendships were made, stories told, and some great content was produced.

Thanks again,

Well. Here it is. Time to name the Champion.  It was a tough one to judge, and definitely a close call between the two.

Spottednova and kimthehedgehog have had great character interaction in their entries.  Sami had pleasing visuals while Kim had compelling stories.  While this mostly rings true still in the final round, Sami was unable to have a complete, consistent round.  Each side has had an exposition of what the Guide’s true motives were, and have made it truly interesting.  Both entries were filled with emotion, whether it’s that last panel of Sami’s entry, where despite victory there’s a feeling of hopelessness, or the moment in Kim’s entry when Matt’s thought to be dead.  Each entry ends with me wanting more, which isn’t a problem.  While definitive conclusions are great in storytelling, it’s the open door to what’s still possible that works well for these two, and lets me know that no matter who wins, it’s a story I’d love to see more of.”

"kimthehedgehog is who I would judge won this round. Other entry felt incomplete not just by how she couldn't continue drawing in color, but in story as well. Felt like there was some stuff missing in the middle that needed to be there between the last two pages, and some other parts as well."

"Ger-bloople, I thought this was a hard choice, but the more I look at it, the easier the choice becomes. I really do like Kim's entries, but in this case Sketch had better art and better fighting scenes in general (though I prefer Kim's ending to Sketch's). I was a little disappointed that neither seemed to make Graknivay out as a victim, but oh well. I have to give this round to Sketch."

"When I mentioned cathartic scope, kimthehedgehog graced it with only a nod. The ending, being the most important part of these entries, was...baffling to say the least. Given the nature of the OCT, though, I should not be surprised, though I had the impression that they had to make sense of the dreamscape around them in order to survive it.  Even though it was incomplete, I did get the sense that catharsis for the event was present in Spottednova."

The Champion of Thought Corruption OCT is...
