Scoring System:

Scoring will be split between categories, by numbers.

20 points - Word Usage (Counts for number of words as well as how well the words are used)
20 points - Style (How well-suited the style of writing is, compared to the topic and the short amount of time participants have to write)
20 points - Organization (How well thoughts and plot twists and the like are organized; how good the flow of the story is)
10 points - Relation to topic (The closer the story sticks to the topic, the higher the points.)
10 points - Completion (For if the story is finished. Points are lowered for missing plot points, and any other part of a story that seems missing. 0 points if story is incomplete.)
