The "I Heard a Voice Out of Nowhere" Award [Haiku Category] By Misty
I don't know who said it, but I can definitely hear the wandering "Arbitrary Award".
The final category is the Haiku category.
I have written here about how I end up reading text in someone else's voice.
That's right. It's not just that I hear a voice.
Sometimes the scenery appears, background music plays, or even the scent and the feel of the air are conveyed.
Or rather, the moment I read the work, the world in my brain switches.
In occult terms, I suppose it feels like being "possessed."
That is why I sometimes call the opposite of this—doing impressions through text—my "Itako (spirit medium) act."
Anyway, for me, the works I have listed here are the ones that intuitively went "bing!"
I can't explain exactly what is good about them, so I am just comparing them to the voices I heard.
This is true for all three categories, but it might be different from the author's intent.
But this is just "one way of receiving them."
Some of the works in all three categories were turned into songs for "Lilac Pon," but I would appreciate it if you could look at them with a different image in mind.
Finally, I have placed the award certificates here. I would be happy if you could accept them.
And... I will say it here as well.
To everyone who submitted to the Lilac Cup, and to the crew, thank you so much. I enjoyed myself this time as well.
As for the winning works, even after narrowing them down as much as I could, there were still 23 of them.
(The text in parentheses is the voice I heard.)
Looking at the Haiku category, it seems there are many people related to my partner.
But please forgive me, as I couldn't leave any of these works out. (Haha)
