Probably!

This is awesome, are you thinking of writing any more from Ignota? I would love to learn more about them.

I wrote something short and sentimental.

I'm a stark proponent for weird kid representation.
(Also C. Ignota is a they/them. That probably gives away what this is partially a metaphor for lmao.)

After careful consideration, I believe you have addressed all of the issues here.
At this point, I can reasonably say I'd give it a +1 if it were on the main page.
Length: I think the current length is absolutely perfect. Doesn't take too much time to read, but you get enough story to leave satisfied.
Characters: Wonderfully done. I can finally tell (though I'm sure it's much less subtle than you originally intended, it is still subtle enough to make the reader feel that it wasn't ham fisted) that the kid is a Changeling. I think the way you describe the relationship between the changeling and the 'mother' is well done.
Ending: Could use a tiny bit of improvement. Something like,
What I did learn is that I’m not as different from them as I thought.
Also, is the 'them' reference the humans, or the creatures in the book? Depending on whom you're referencing, it could be something like "I'm not as different from the things in the book as I thought," or "I'm not as different from Jacob as I thought," Depending on what message you're trying to get out. I think both are equally good, and once that little thing is fixed, in my opinion, this would probably be ready for posting!
Thank you very kindly.

This is awesome. I feel like the dryness of the prose adds to the piece.

Yeah we decided to make it more general to give people as much breathing room as possible. Essentially, the theme is rebirth, so don’t worry about the extra stuff if you don’t want to

HAHAHAH! I love the way you made the school resolution bit. Take it from someone who did mock congress in highschool, that was spot on! For some strange reason, this article fills me with joy.
I adore the style of the one. The 'emails/letters/other physical stuff' sort of writing style is one of my favorites. Read an entire 800 page book with that kind of formatting once, and it really adds realism to the piece. But wait… Adding realism to something that isn't real, like the Library? What do we call that, I can't seem to remember…
Oh yeah! We call it damn exquisite writing!
Very, very well done.

Am I the only one who the theme seems unclear to? Is it meant to be sorta vague, so that people can play around with it? Ahhh! I'm not used to contests without a clear and defined canon by the staff.

This has been on my reading list for a while, but now I regret not having read it sooner. Your prose is stellar, every sentence feels interesting and purposeful. The descriptions of consciousness and the dual experience were the highlight for me, very interesting stuff.
Looking forward to reading what happens next in their journey through the maze…

A fitting theme for the Library's navigational rebirth!

Super excited for this. May be my first post to the library!

Boy but it's annoying to actually add new stuff to the page.

I am excited for this! This is a good-ass idea and the theme seems like it fits the WL's vibe, both as a fictional thing and as a website!
