"If you thought, like I did, that this contest provided a perfect opportunity for authors to create an original species, and that it encouraged really creative worldbuilding, then I can't think of a better story to recommend to you than this one. Balancing itself perfectly between confusion and understanding, Sylphidine is everything I wanted out of this contest, and more." -- alexmagnet
