an icepick through the keyhole

I did pretty well, except the prequel/trilogy bit. Which basically is a way of saying, "are you going to go to all the trouble of creating a world and complex societies, just so you can write one and only one 90,000 word novel? If not, you are Not a Good Writer." To which I say, yeah, right.

I think I do have one instance of Unrealistic Cooking Time, but that's easily fixed.
