Well, There's not much to say about this really.
I was browsing DA, saw that Dragoniade was holding a contest, and this idea popped into my head. So, I wrote it down and sent it in. I used this more as a springboard to get back into writing again, and for the most part, it worked.
My result was 6th place, by the way.
Here's what Dragoniade had to say about it:
'The story had a nice context, but the format was a bit difficult to read. The idea was good, but a transcript wasn't really the best format for transformation story. This introduces a lot of telling, that get broken with the constant shifting of conversation. The transformation takes quite some time before occurring and is quite quick. However, it deserves a plus on the effort for being the longest entry.'
I'd like to hear your thoughts too.

Not bad at all. An unusual format takes a good writer to pull off... and it wasn't badly done at all. A more 'normal' story would probably have been easier reading, but the plot and format work together quite well.
The biggest weakness, imo, is that it lacks a meaningful climax.
