What do "Writing" and "Final" mean? What are people supposed to do during the "Final" period?

This is an interesting metaphor for life choices. Nice.

"Writing" is the composition period. "Final" is a left over from the glory days when we had so many fics that the round was split in two for voting purposes.

Nice lament on the life of a snowflake with a parallel to people in general. The rhyme scheme is flawless. The meter is fine in syllable count, but the stress pattern is a tad forced here and there. Not too much to say about it, but it was a nice read. I liked the kind of subtle "six" that many people might not catch the significance of.

There used to be multiple voting phases, final being the last one, and if there weren't enough entries to do multiple rounds, that was the default name of the only round. It just means a period (possibly the only one) where people are free to vote and leave comments on the entries.

Thank you for the positive comments! I haven't much to say about this one that it hasn't said by itself. I am hoping to write on sunnier topics soon.

Sonnets are often my go-to on the longer poetry rounds as they generally meet the 100 word minimum with little fuss. I am by nature a terse writer and not given to epics.
