BKA: Sarah Atwell. My usual method is to judge these kills by brutality and while there are no shortage of those kills this time around (Staffan Kronwall and Nick Reid's kills are runner-ups), one death in particular was almost too intense for me to read. I tip my hat to Fanatic. BDA: Chadd Crossen. This one was a punch in the soul. Yeah, I guess you could say that it’s pretty overblown, especially with the last paragraph, and that it’s just a revisiting of Andrew Lipson’s death, but I don’t care. I love it anyway. |

BKA: I'm going to have to go with Sarah Atwell because seriously, that goes way beyond anything we've seen in terms of absolute overwhelming creepiness. And it's there every step of the way. I wanted to take a shower after I read it. No joke. Most of the kills (and deaths) were good, but this one hit it out of the freaking ballpark. BDA: I'm giving the nod to Dougal for a very well-done death. It's depressing, hopeless, and brutal, and that's what SotF is all about. Especially the bit where he realizes he'd imagined some sort of vague hideous death but never realized the true reality of the situation until he's well on his way to his own ignominious demise. Everyone has to face it at some point, and Dougal exemplified that beautifully. Also I think I'm going to slam some antidepressants after my shower. |

My vote for BKA is going to have to go to Seizure Gi- Sarah Atwell, for killing Eve. Although I don't like killers who torture, It was handled extremely well compared to a most instances I've seen of it. From an IC perspective, it was brutal enough to gain my vote, and the interaction between Eve and Sarah before and during it was great. From an OOC perspective, both the build up and the death itself were both handled extremely well, Fanatic in particular doing a great job. I can't think of a better kill than this one this month. BDA this month is much tougher. I'll admit, I've never been a fan of long death posts, but Hollyquin managed to pull it off with Maria Santiago, my vote for BDA. She just combines everything I'd normally hate about a deathpost: The songpost, the colour post, the time consuming flashbacks to provide depth, double spaced fragments. She takes them all, she runs with them, and the end result was, in my opinion, the Best Death of the month. Mentions for BKA go to Maxwell Lombardi, for having a "Multi-kill" scene that managed not to seem like needless pimping for a villain and to Maria Graham, for one of the most unique kills I've seen this far. For BDA, Maria just managed to beat Chadd Croesen for my award, who I think had a really good death, but I think it was just a bit too cluttered to get my vote. |

Voting for two people from the same thread. Oh the horror! First, CorruptDropbear for Eve Walker-Luther's death. Eve is such an adult, and her death was both heartbreakingly brave and convincingly realistic. Dropbear did not flinch away from having her desperate and in agony. Brave lady, and the best we can hope for her is that her husband is okay and her daughter grows proud. She deserved better than that, Eve Walker-Luther. And Sarah Atwell. Poisoning the water. Acting. Playing her part. She's twisted scary lovely lady, and I can't wait to see how her creative kills go. Hers was the most captivating kill this cycle for pure shocking showmanship, and I love seeing a girl who knows how to play to the camera

BKA: My vote for BKA would have to go to either Sarah Atwell or Nick Reid, and I knew I would have to choose between them. Both of them are handled by great writers, both Fanatic and Rattle are amazing and it shows in their characters, both of which I've read in varying amounts; But it simply comes down to which killing I enjoyed more. They're both quite brutal, but I'd have to toss my hat in with Nick Reid simply because it was quick, brutal, visceral and real, though it was a tough choice in the end. BDA: When it comes down to the best death, I'd have to vote for Tony Russo. It's really the only death that I read among the choices that really had a major effect, though that isn't to say the others were bad; Far from it, many of the other deaths were amazing in their own right. But when it came down to an emotional impact, there was simply more impact from Tony's death than the others, in my personal opinion. Maybe because it wasn't a malicious act or something overly brutal, but whatever the reason, I simply enjoyed reading Tony's death just that little bit extra needed to warrant my vote. |
