I'm in a bit of a tizzy over the usage of the first point of view, you want to watch your usage of 'I', it gets a bit heavy.

Gender Bias
PROMPT: Poetry and Spoken Word Competition: 2021
It's good, there's a lot of room for refinement. Poetry isn't often outright, but it doesn't need to be perfect. If you're angry at the misguvings toward girls over the millennia, make it known but don't make it desperate. Good luck, you're doing great! :)

I did go over this while listening to the video, I think you did fairly well. For posture, be as expressive as you think you should, you're a bit awkward but you did great! This was really fun to read, thanks for the opportunity!

This is a leisurely slow read, I wanted to savour it because it was so nice, and so warm. When I reached the end, I truly wasn't ready to leave.

Lonely Enough To Be Lovely
PROMPT: Novel Writing Competition 2020
Don't get sidetracked by separate plots of characters, if you stray too far, the piece will become disconnected. Happy writing! An indication of the initial word count (Minus the added title at the beginning) would be a helpful indicator to the reviewer of what they should suggest, it's just so we can keep in mind the initial wordcount while typing our suggestions, you don't have to, but if you do, feel free to type it into the footnotes. :) I apologize for nitpicking, but this is such a good plot to try out, and I am so happy I read it, if you find yourself with the time, please post this from chapter one!

In Which Les the Possum, Timothy Legonawy, and Trini Abasolo Abel are Caught in an Attic
PROMPT: Novel Writing Competition 2020
A quick word of advice, never publish the "First Draft", the two words together insist that not a single word of editing went into it. It makes it seem novice, and you want readers to know that you aren't any ol' novice, you're a tactful novice. I agree with Grammarly (sadly), the overall tone is formal, way too much for a kid in an attic in 2019, even in the south, it doesn't connect well enough to the readers. If you don't want to change the tone, you could change the time, I think the late 1880s suits this pretty okay, but that's just me, it was a good read. If you do, you could replace Anne with Huck Finn or Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, the mid-1910s would also be perfect if you want to keep Anne, but then you might need to add the international tension and conflict. I apologize for nitpicking, I don't like sugar-coating my opinion too much. I hope you see this as constructive criticism because that's what I intended (but I'm told I'm rather daft at sparing feelings, lmao). Stay cool!

Words that will never make Sense (Explanation in footnotes aka project idea)
FREE WRITING
And about the footnote, the project sounds fun, but I simply do not that the heart to rip out a page of a book ( never have, lmao). If you go for it, I think you could develop a unique writing style such as this, something that has to make the reader think. Your title says that it makes no sense, but that's the beauty of it. I find it clear and intelligible, whether or not that was your intention, I'm kind of jealous of how well the concept was executed.

Storyteller
FREE WRITING
It started off well, but the over use of the pronoun 'He' made it come off dense. If you plan a reread or continuation, could you experiment a little by using occupations or nouns such as 'the story-teller' or so other. The point of view is all over the place, so it's understandable if you didn't want to keep up. It would be great if you'd left it as the author/narrator's point of view, it might even give a different tone to the story.

A little bit of grammar touch-ups here and there, and some shifts in the punctuation, and I think you'll be pretty fine. It's a good piece.
