This was a very difficult decision. I have never had to break a tie before in this group, and I must say it is amazing how good grammar and spelling can earn you some solid points. Each winning place was one point apart! I think these pieces were very deserving of a win, and I am very glad to present you with the final results of the Seven Deadly Sins contest!

Individual scores will be posted on the participating piece unless otherwise stated by the author.

The total scoring process will be noted to the author unless otherwise stated.

This will allow participants to review their scores. This is the first time we will hand out scores to the individuals, so you guys need to let me know if it is/was important to you. Based off your opinions we may or may not continue to hand them out in the future.

Results!



1st Place: ~Jasmine-Flower's A Perpetual Humanity A Perpetual HumanityDon't scratch the mask that hides you.
Your words will break, instead.
"It doesn't get much better,
But it don't get worse," she said.

Don't sing a song of praises
For the price of what you sold.
Your legs aren't growing longer.
Like the stars, we're growing old.

Your ankles lashed in lightness
You crash into the sky -
Please open up the door, my dear.
It's only passing-by.

Envy is a mistress.
Unlike Love, she is not blind.
She'll tut, and tweak, and tinker,
'Til your eyes are just aligned.

And when you're done and ravaged
She will beg you, as she leaves
To go, and do the laundry -
Wash the stains out from your sleeves.


2nd Place: *parchmentgirl's Lady Lust Lady LustThey sat together at a table set for nine
Just him and her, then seven empty seats
To wait for guests who failed to show
Even when the clocks struck twelve
Chimes to shatter moonlight with their blows.

"Should we not wait for them to come?
His question stretched through the room
And crossed their silence sat between
Their two chairs at opposite ends
So her face and features remained unseen.

"But they are here can you not see?"
She asked with faint amusement
As his eyes searched the empty space
And found only what had been
Leaving him to wonder what was meant.

"No one sits here but for us my dear
Apart from dust there is just a


3rd Place: =Lucy-Merriman' Lady Mayhem and the Unfortunate Seduction


Honorable Mention ~Saesura's Dare
DareI am a god,
Blessed to sense the feelings of prey,
Cursed with tainted sight.

Slaughtered are the pity fools,
Who declared to create miracles,
Yet damned my eyes to darkness.

In this world absent of color,
The angel's dust brings bliss,
And acid calls for sweet salacity.

Reality's deafening scream,
Follows with the loss of those delicacies,
Priced so highly for blank papers.

Not one soul in this wasteland,
Has a worth equal to this currency;
The key of the gateway to my haven.

So to murder and so to abuse,
Whatever gaining action gathers the bones,
Will be done for the sake of a god's sight.


#LOVE-Original-LIT will hand out the prizes it has promised sometime this week (hopefully). All participants will be featured by us because all the pieces were wonderful in their own way.

Other prize donators have been notified of the results and from here on prizes are out of our hands. Please look over the prize list ([link]) and contact the prize donators yourself telling them exactly what you want and who you are. They are just as forgetful as the rest of us, so a little reminder will help them start on your prize! Contact me personally (~slowlysailing) if you have any problems! Please thank the donators when they award you and be considerate of affiliated groups awarding you with features as well!

It says you can submit three deviations per week, but it's only allowing me one.
