WEREWOLF CONTEST SCORE RESULTS:

Really cool epistolary creepypasta werewolf tale told through police reports.

NARRATIVE HOOK/INCITING INCIDENT: The hook and inciting incident are all there in the first line: “This is a summary of events in the investigation regarding the incident at the Wright household.” I’d say it has a pull to it, we want to know what the incident is and keep reading. I do wonder if maybe it would be more powerful if it was stated right away that it involved two deaths and missing person. I’ll give it a 8.

ORIGINALITY: A daughter has killed her parents, and in a fit of guilt tries to melt down silver to kill herself with and ends up setting the house on fire. I’d say that’s pretty original. 9.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT: Well it is stated that Sheila is “bookish” and “the indoor type,” but there’s not much more than that and the parents aren’t given any real description at all. This could have been done through interviews or more diary excerpts. 6.

DIALOGUE: No dialogue at all. I understand this would have been difficult given the nature of the style. But we could have had the neighbor tell the police of a fight they had heard, or have an old friend interviewed. 1.

EXECUTION: I think this was pretty well executed. Didn’t see any spelling or grammar mistakes. It perfectly fulfills what it set out to do. 9.

ENDING/DENOUEMENT: I didn’t like the open ending. Nothing felt really resolved. I guess it had that classic creepypasta “could it be real?” thing going on. 7 OVERALL CREEPINESS: Dead parents, missing daughter, pretty creepy stuff there. 9

TOTAL SCORE: 49 out of 70
