Sorry about that, but I did in the comments ask you to add me as an author so I could add it in, and I'm sure I did mention it in the main post.
It's okay though; I didn't take many points away.
Because of the misunderstanding I can comment and subscribe to another of your stories, if you like.
No offense, but your layout was too busy for my tastes.
And I didn't reply because I did not want to use your layout. It did not fit my story at all, but because I used it as a prompt, I still linked it in the summary of my entry, so it was included there for people to see. It says nothing in the scoring portion about use of layout, and there's nothing in the rules that say I have to use the layout, or I wouldn't have entered the contest in the first place.
If you're going to deduct points for something, it needs to be included in the rules/scoring instead of taking points off randomly. I would appreciate it if you did take the time to comment/subscribe to something else because the piece you already commented on was only a drabble, so it wasn't something I needed feedback/subscriptions on. I'd appreciate it if you could comment on a full-fledged oneshot or an actual story, thanks.
