So, I would say that was rather successful! Almost everyone got their stuff in, and we had a ton of votes, which makes me happy. Which is good for you, because you want your mod to be happy... :D
Least Favorite and Why(-2): A Fire and Nod - I felt there could have been more to this - maybe if it had focused solely on one character's thoughts, rather than trying to capture them all. I wasn't too sure what the author was trying to say, and a few of the descriptions were a little clunky, and there were some discrepancies in tenses that threw me out of the story a little.
Least Favorite- A Fire and Nod- it kept switching tenses, kepts switching point of view, there was sentence fragments, and the characterization wasn't even right.
Least Favorite and Why(-2): A fire and nod. Well it was a toss up, all the stories were good so I picked one that was less good. Picked this one because it wasn't as well written as the others and I couldn't imagine this scene as a must have ending.
Just to say congratulations! I loved the way you structured your fic around the three lessons, and the almost-detached descriptions of the blood made it quite horrific (in a good way!) :-)
Favorite and Why(+2): Ghosts in the Elevator - This was a really interesting idea to show Abby's POV on Ziva leaving, and I think the writer really managed to capture a sense of her liveliness in their descriptions and use of metaphors - there were a couple of teeny tiny typos/errors but I skipped happily over them because Abby is a lot of fun, even when she's sad and confused like she is here. And I really liked the mentions of Tony turning his phone over in his hands, it was a great moment of show-not-tell to explain his feelings and distress. Really good, in-character stuff

I need to echo that comment about the best opening line! I'm glad to know now that we can give out honorable mentions, b/c I would have been all over this one. :-) The mood and imagery were fantastic, and the characters spot-on. Beautiful job!

(And I doubt I got any comments, but on the off-chance I did, I'd like to see them. *g*)
