Judging is due October 2nd.

Round 5



Round Note: Insanely small signature, nuff' said.

Blk Mage - Sparkle*fade*Glow*fade*Life
Sure, it fits, but essentially, this is a one word subtext. =\ I wish you somehow vaguely connected these words, even something like "Glow of Life *fade* sparkles", would work better. - 6.5/10

Benladesh - Illuminating the darkest days
Way too long for the signature, in my opinion. Also, it seems very generic and cliche. It works, though. - 6.5/10

Pixalation - Igniting
your desires
Two lines, but still, very generic and expected. - 7/10

Professorelite - *upper middle, above "Fire"* to and fro *fade* it brings its glow
Love this one, you made good use of the space and it works great. Not much else to say. - 9.5/10

Round note: Despite the small signature, there is plenty of room for creativity

Blk Mage - Sparkle*fade*Glow*fade*Life
A little disjointed but might work if the fades blinked on/off similar to a firefly. 6/10

Benladesh - Illuminating the darkest days
This just fits on the sig, but I got a more upbeat feel from the image than your subtext suggests. 7/10

Pixalation - Igniting
your desires
Fits well and can apply to both sig and user 7.5/10

Professorelite - *upper middle, above "Fire": to and fro *fade* it brings its glow
Fun subtext that matches sig very well 9.5/10

Blk Mage - Sparkle*fade*Glow*fade*Life
This seems pretty weak. And cheesy. Poor firefly with not much a life. 5.5/10

Benladesh - Illuminating the darkest days
This is too long. I like the feel of it, however. A shorter word for "illuminating" would've been better for me. 7.5/10

Pixalation - Igniting
your desires
The use of two lines seems a bit of a stretch for me. I don't see how it would fit unless one line is above "Firefly" and the other below. But that way it seems way too choppy. It's kind of like when someone types it like this: Igniting. Your desires. There's a huge pause after "igniting." Plus "your desires" seems way cheesy for me. 6.5/10

Professorelite - *upper middle, above "Fire"* to and fro *fade* it brings its glow
This is a bit long for after the fade. But the subtext is nice and catchy. 9/10

I'd like to thank my girlfriend who spent time to describe to me how fireflies are like and how she chased them around when she was a little girl ^_^ I almost didn't submit a subtext because I really had no idea how fireflies are like.

I actually intended both lines to go under the the Firefly. I tried it (as always) and it fitted well.

I've never seen a firefly either, so went with... whatever I could think of.

There's a three-way tie between Pixa, Benladesh and Blk Mage.

So... we decided to have a Lightning Elimination Round.

In this Lightning Elimination Round, you will need to start off your subtext with the word(s) I have provided.


(Sig by Ansile )

Wash... (continue the subtext)

Your subtext must have wash as the beginning. The following examples would be acceptable:

Washing my hands
Wash my hands

And the following examples not be acceptable:

Awash your hands
With soap *fade* washing my hands

This round is only applicable to Benladesh, Blk Mage and Pixalation.

Subtexts are due by October 3rd

Wash away with the azure,
But ripple in my mind.

Might add some fades and things tomorrow, it's late and I need to go to bed.
