Ahhhh! Congrats!

And nice analysis of an under developed character :D

New contest ><.

Thanks! I saw it mentioned somewhere that canon never says what happened to Barty after he was Kissed, and so I tried to figure out what it would be like to lose your soul.

Creeeeepy. I love it.
Congrats on your first place shiny. You deserve it!

Struggled a bit with this, but was pretty happy with the reception. Creepy is perfect :)

You deserved to win purely because you picked Barty for this one... :D

This is both chilling and moving. I think "It hadn’t even hurt to lose his humanity, his emotions, his feelings, his memories" is the most upsetting part for me: for something that awful to happen so painlessly is horrible in itself but for Barty to be contemplating all this so mildly is even worse. Poor boy.

Well done on winning!

I probably picked him with you in mind, since you got me writing and liking him!

I had a hard time writing this, mainly because it was tough to figure out just how much feeling/memories he would have retained, and what he would have lost, and then to write it in the right way. Looks like I succeeded, so yay.

Thanks!
