Sorry, this is going to be short. I need to finish an essay off.
Ammer
The Sovereign Winds
Nice, this is excellent. Sovereign is such a beautiful word, this subtext really pulls together beautifully.
Anoohilator
The winds of change...*fade*...come, blow my way.
I like this one, though, I don't think you need the comma. It's a different take, and I appreciate that. Overall, a good job, it's rather creative, and flows well.
Khristian
Secluded Serenity
This doesn't really seem secluded, serene is arguable either. I agree it is too generic, especially with no explanation of what you are 'seeing' in this signature.
matterbug
Streaking through space
This seems a little off, this is really too generic. It's just a little too plain for my tastes, though the use of streaking is good, and the alliteration, it's all that really separates it from something like 'Flying through space'. It's borderline overall. Also, it looks like it is from the moon, not outer space. Well, that could be the moon, but I'd classify it as it isn't, considering it appears to be from a rocky surface.
pattypus
Rays of brilliance
I like the fact you've referred to the sun in this subtext, but the streaks don't look like they are coming from the sun, more, from over the rocks of the moon (I saw this as a view from the moon, the moon is the rocks, the Earth is on the left and the sun is in front), I think they look like wind too. It's creative, but borderline.
the_dog_god
Weaving the cosmos...
I like this one, the streaks are moving, weaving you could say, and the cosmos, the universe. Though, if it intends to be harmonious, you come across a similar obstacle as Khristian, there seems to be a lot of action as opposed to tranquillity. Borderline.
Vote: Khristian, Pattypus, Matterbug
TDG was close, but mainly, his performance in earlier rounds saved him as opposed to the others.

Judges Notes:
This was a tough one, but it was open to interpretation. We didn’t have a single subtext that was horrible, and that is a good thing. It shows you deserve to be here. But only three people can make it to the finals, so here we go.
Ammer
The Sovereign Winds
Really like the choice of words here. The subtext fits very well, and it sounds very nice too. Excellent subtext.
Anoohilator
The winds of change...*fade*...come, blow my way.
Eh, this is really borderline for me. It is ok, but I just don’t really like the way the words sound together. But the fade helps a lot, so it is nice that you put that in there.
Khristian
Secluded Serenity
Hmm, the picture is kind of peaceful, but it is really busy, so I don’t particularly like the word ‘Serenity’. The ‘Secluded’ part I don’t understand either. The sky, space, everything ion this picture is very vast, not really secluded at all.
matterbug
Streaking through space
This is also very borderline. There is no Wow effect to it. ‘Streaking’ is a nice word, but I think it could have been used in a better way. Or even just using a synonym for ‘space’, maybe ‘universe’ or ‘cosmos’?
pattypus
Rays of brilliance
I like the word ray, I like it a lot. It is one of the first thing I thought of when I saw the signature. Brilliance was used in a nice way as well, getting the brightness in there. I can’t really describe it well, but I like this.
the_dog_god
Weaving the cosmos...
I really like this one. The way the ‘lines’ (for lack of a better word) are crossing over each other, it reminded me of a weave, and the way you used weave, and got the space part in too. I like it!
I nominate Anoohilator, Khristian, and matterbug .

Twinkle has dropped out of judging, so it is just the 5 judges now.
The people who cannot participate in the next round are:
Khristian Matterbug and Pattypus
---
Final Round
Ok, this round you will have to find a subtext for three different signatures. It is not fair to decide who wins on one single subtext, so thats why we do it like this. You will have an extra day (total of 4 days) to get your three subtexts in. When you post them, make sure you say which subtext is for which signature. Congrats on making it this far, and just think, one of you three will be the winner.
Signature 1
Signature 2
Signature 3
Good luck, your subtexts are due on Saturday November 5

Well, Ammer, TDG, Anoohilator, your work is done. Now it is up to the judges. Judges, I need you to rate review and give a rating on 10 for each subtext. You will need to rat each subtext for each signature (a total of nine). When your ratings are done PM them to me. I will post them once the deadline is up. I will add up all your scores on 10, and the person with the highest score wins.
Judges, please PM your ratings to me by Tuesday November 8
