Did somebody order A LARGE HAMburger?!

Arith Metic-- a witch-- conjures online aquaintences, agrees to meet one, and then haphazardly wanders into the wastes with a couple "friends" and relatively no information.

A story I wrote for this contest. As well as hone to my romance skills, which are not my strongsuit. Also includes a rich amount of world setting, for no reason at all. I feverously (if James Joyce can make up words than, by georgiable, so can I) wrote 91.666 % of this fic in a day.
[Edit: I won said contest!]

I graded all Valentine's Day Writing Contest entries with a simple 0 to 50 scoring system. Each story started with a perfect score and had points deducted for varying reasons regarding each category. There were four total categories by which each story was graded: Grammar (15 points), how well the story Followed the Prompt (10 points), Characterization (15 points), and Plotline (10 points).
Grammar: 13/15 (Better than most stories I've pre-read and edited before, but grammar is something everyone can improve on.)
Prompt: 10/10 (Pretty self explanatory, everyone got just about a perfect score on this part.)
Characterization: 15/15 (How well you were able to make your characters relatable and 'come alive' in such a short amount of words. This is by far the hardest part of writing one shots in my opinion.)
Plotline: 10/10 (The 'what happened' of your story. What drove your characters into action, what made this story worth sharing? Was it an original idea, or a homage to something greater? Was the story compelling and motivating, or was it just a feels trip to make the reader feel alive?
Total: 48/50 Your story scored the highest with a 48. Second place managed a 47, with the remaining three stories getting 46's. Though everyone did really well, hence the art commission as a prize for all contestants. ^_^
