    Okay, so first off, I absolutely love the layout for this. So simple, yet so tastful. And summary is very good too. Well written, and gives just enough away without giving the entire thing away. Also, I loved the quote you used. I think that it was a very good way to sum this all up. And I like how you wrote this in vignettes. It's the first time that I have seen anyone write in this style, and I loved it. I makes me want to attempt to write in vignettes.

    Secondly, I like how you chose eight different kinds of women, with the last one not actually being a woman. You captured a few of the many different ways women can act and preceive themselves beautifully, and the way the man just accepted them all without judging them was sweet. It showed that he really didn't care what they looked like or how they acted or what they did, because he was more interested in them as a person, and not as a sexual object.

    And the last one, oh dear, the last one almost made me cry with how sweet it was. I loved how he took his time with her, unlike with the other girls, and how he didn't judge her or freak out or anything when she showed him her secret. And most of all, I loved how he was the happiest with her. To me, it showed that he truly loves her the just the way she is.

    God, I could go on and on about how much I loved this and just how beautiful this was, but I think I'll stop. Overall, this was an amazing piece, and I think it showcases your exceptional talents as a writer very well. I loved reading this, and I could read it over and over and over many times. Great job.

    Oh wow! In Love The ending of this was perfect. You made it just absolutely wonderful and like others have said, it's just so non-judgemental and real.

    All of the descriptions throughout were so effective and I loved how different all of the women were and you captured that brilliantly. My favourite line has got to be "He finds that her smile is honey, that her lips down there are lilac, and that she has the dirtiest mouth when she’s feeling especially ecstatic" You make something which others would make look cheesy just sound flawless and it just flows. That's probably one of my favourite things about your writing - the fact that it just flows together so well and all of the emotions never falter, and even though it’s not a massively long piece, you feel as though you have known the main character forever. I mean, that is just incredible in itself that you can create that feeling in just over 1000 words.

    Honestly I don't think I can ever say enough how beautiful your writing is and this piece is just another shining example of what a brilliant author you really are. It ended not overly sappy or anything, it just ended peacefully. I loved it.

    Well, I have made to story number two! (I feel a little accomplished.) The ending of this just twists everything so sweetly. I enjoyed the idea you had with this. Keep it focused on one man, but with different women. I rarely see vignettes on here. Well, really you're the first. My only exposure has been Mango Street, but I really like the style of this.

    You didn't make every person seem the same. You encompassed the many different persons a woman can be. It works really well with the man's search. He's had every woman except for that last and the last is what makes him the happiest.

    This has to be my favorite of the three so far. It just works so well and I get the most out of it. A job well done.

    I loved this. There aren't words I can think of worthy to tie with this story so I'll just leave it alone.

    I have to agree with them, there was no judgement on anyone, and there was nothing happiness and acceptance. You should have no doubt that you would've been chosen for first place, but since no one else entered it's a default win, but I would've named this piece first because of the way you write. It's very clean, descruptive, and you can feel the emotions in your writing.

    Thank you for entering this heart warming piece, please feel free to send me your prize information.

    UGH. ISA. I can't even put together a coherent comment because I am so in awe (but then again, all of your stories have this effect on me. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, haha). But basically, I agree with everything said in the comment above- I like how you didn't analyse why they all did what they did. And you didn't write with any kind of... judgement, I guess. It was just there. (That made no sense. I told you I'm having trouble composing a coherent comment.) The ending was beautiful... kind of melancholy and happy and hopeful at the same time. This is yet another stunning piece that you should be proud of. <3

    the ending made me so damn happy. i swear i was smiling the whole time (really, the descriptions and writing were just beautiful, as always) but the end was just so incredibly touching and warm and emotional and honest. maybe it was because the psychology of it wasn't picked apart (as people are often apt to do), it was just accepted. i liked that, i want that. i loved the acceptance of it all, the easy truth with no endless reasons why tacked on. it's beautiful. you don't write happy endings often it seems but just experiencing it once was more than enough. this whole story had a sad/happy glow to it. i want every story to end like this.
