Looking at recent prior years, Q2 results have come out anytime late May to early July. Is there any info out there that might narrow that window? I checked my numbers, and I've gotten results as early as May 19th (that was in 2008) and as late as Sept 13th (I'm a little suspicious of this one, but...

R for me too

And don't discount weekends! I got at least one of my finalist calls on a Saturday morning. Yep, and I've never gotten higher than an HM, so that might have impacted my stats too! wotf007 It looks like for two of the last three Q1s, I've submitted on the last day (as I did this year), and I've gott...

I submitted March 31st

I'm in. Technically, it's the 31st in my timezone, so I've once again submitted on the last day...

How many stories is 900 submissions? According to the Submission Grinder, I have 47 different pieces, but that might not be completely accurate because when I revise to the point that I consider it a new story and change the title, I create a new piece for tracking purposes. I've decided to focus o...

If anyone felt like doing some analysis on the results days over the last few years, though, I for one would be interested! Actually, this is a thing I track (sometimes, my submitomancy goes pretty in-depth!). I don't have it broken down by year, but since V27Q3, which was in 2010 (probably when I ...

I guess I forgot to check in here, but I submitted my story on December 31st--I didn't accomplish my goal of not submitting on the last day, but at least I managed to get it in!

Submitted December 31st

I'm back on the HM train this quarter...not sure where it's headed, but I am on it! Next stop is Don't-Write-Next-Quarter's-Story-On-The-Last-Day (again)

Honorable Mention on November 14th

I've cycled back to rejections. For those keeping track, I did get the first pass email (I can't remember if I checked in here when I did). I'm off to send the story somewhere else!

Rejection for me

Submitted September 30th

So much for submitting before the last day of the quarter...but I'm in for the 44th time!

I forgot to check in here, but I got the first pass email on September 10th (I submitted on June 30th). I also just realized it's almost the end of the quarter, so I'd better get something lined up. Looks like I'm not going to achieve my goal of not submitting at the last minute this time either....

Submitted June 30th

I waited longer than I wanted to (starting and finishing), but I'm in as of a few hours ago. (Bonus: the portal wasn't closed this time!)

It's been a busy week, but I'm back on the HM train with this quarter (for those counting, I got the email on June 26th)

HM on June 26th (I submitted March 30th)

True! If only I knew where they all were....

I'm slow to report in on this one, but I was one of the ones who submitted after the portal closed early, and I received an Honorable Mention email on April 25th!

I forgot to report in here, but I submitted on March 30th!

I have a new story out in the Fell Beasts and Fair anthology!

I heard from Joni yesterday, and she said I'm all set for this quarter!

I haven't done a good job of reading the forum lately, but I think this is great! With my entry today, I'm starting my second decade of 4 contest submissions each year. I cut it closer than I have in a long time on this quarter, so this will be good motivation to make sure I start early on the next ...

I tried to submit earlier today and the application portal already says it is closed. I emailed my story to Joni, so hopefully, I'm in for Q1!

Q2 goal = submit before the last day

Rejection for me

Rejection.
