Very touching, I loved it and I really liked the Solo Noel personality, The infection of my hand is healing now and I started on your picture before this happened, it somewhat 24% done but I'll have to finish the rest when the infection stops, Very good story, hope you win and Merry Christmas

PROS1.) It was believable, that was good. I hate far fetched stories.
2.) You made good character layouts- (good description) One or two other stories I read had that problem.
3.) You had a story behind the OC. Alot of others chose to leave that hazy.
CONS
1.) Unfortunatly, I ran into the same problem I had with another story.

Because, your older sister here,” he waves his hoof in Princess Celestia’s direction and mockingly scolds them both

Should have been-

Because, your older sister is here,” he waved his hoof in Princess Celestia’s direction and mockingly scolded them both

2.) I thought the whole story was uncomfortably short, and didn't spend quite enough time leading up to the reason why Solo Noel was there still. Windigos are only supposed to come in times of hate and arguing.
3.) I felt that it wasn't quite original. I don't know, but something just seemed very familiar to me.

Final score out of 10- 5.5/10

3662704 1. Yes, grammar errors will happen--oops:twilightblush:
2. I always have comments about the length of my stories. Sometimes I start writing and it feels like it's too long and sometimes it feels like I rushed through. I can make stories flow, it's just hitting the length "sweet spot" I haven't mastered yet.
And I thought I explained about Solo's correlation to the Windigoes:facehoof:---look, the whole idea I was trying to establish was reformation from bad to good (e.g. Nightmare Moon: Princess Luna, Chaos Discord: Friendship-loving Discord, Windigo: Solo Noel). MLP series seems to have it's own little personality-reforming-theme. I got my idea when I saw the Windigoes get defeated in the Hearth's Warming Eve episode. In the show, they just disappeared--what happened to them? Getting hit by the fire of friendship, just demolished them? The magic that friendship and harmony show in MLP doesn't give me the conclusion that they were demolished, just weakened.
3. What am I supposed to say? :ajbemused: It's a Christmas story--they all have the same type of morals and originality.

5.5/10? How did you come to that? I even checked out your user page and didn't find a grading rubric...

I'll say an 7.5/10 is more right to me :derpyderp2:

3707544 I got Second Place! I'm very happy:heart::heart::heart::pinkiehappy::heart::heart::heart:

I loved it. Great treat to stumble upon this in May of all months. Anyway, it was a great read!

4354467 Thank you :twilightsmile: I really enjoyed writing this story. Just wish I had a better cover art.

So I finally got around to reading your story. And I must say I LOVED it. I thought you did a great job making this story like the Christmas carols I love to read. I also really liked Solo Noel’s personality. And the moral of the story I thought really fits with what both MLP and Christmas is all about.
