I've been mentally working on a fresh idea for Q3. Early this morning it began to gel. Time to let it flow. wotf042 Go go go go go! One of the twins got sick the day before they turned six months old (cold plus pneumonia in one lobe of one lung) and still has some minor symptoms, although he's most...

WOTF posted on their Facebook page about this on the 15th. They said they were increasing it.

Congrats on the fifth finalist KD. I hope the next one gets you that deserved win!!

Congrats Brittany! That's awesome, twice in a row. Three's a charm!

It's been three weeks now since the first results were announced. I'm twitching for our forumite finalists. Hopefully you guys hear back really really soon! Crossing my fingers for you!

Congrats hannahAZOK!!!

I'm starting to wonder if I'd do better to simply aim at novels instead of short fiction. They're what I really want to write anyway. They're just... really hard for me to retain my momentum on. If you treat every chapter like a short story, it's easier to keep the momentum. That's one of the thing...

Congrats Milo!!!

Received my copy today. :)

The only story I have resubmitted to this contest was an outright R that I firmly believed was a mistake. It became my Q1 entry and, uh, I don't have the final results on it yet... Exciting! Crossing my fingers for you! Considering the numbers of stories they receive, I guess it happens for a coupl...

I'll have a read

That's awesome LittleRed! Congrats!

I'm wondering what happened with the SHM. Did none of us forumites get one or are they doing away with that type of honor or is it being delayed like semi finalists?

Woke up to a shiny R (different time zone) Congrats on your HM wotf010 . Do they mention your story received HM in the email? Just curious maybe one day I'll get it too. wotf001 wotf001 Ya, the email says it in the subject line. Well, I edited my 1st Q story and sent it out elsewhere. Crossing my f...

HM for me.

In the podcast, Dave talks about still having 25 stories to choose his finalists from (which we know he finished judging beg of last week), so I think Tim and OSC were talking about Q4.

I have avoided my phone for the last few hours specifically for this reason. I couldn't stop checking it.

Ya that means that results for Q1 won't get back before tomorrow or Thursday at the earliest considering how many of those emails she has to send out today

Did you get it only today?

Yep, sounds about right. *sets up pillow fort, hands out blankets and hot cocoa*

I'll bring the brownies. Give me just a minute. I'm on my way.

And i'll bring a classic movie to watch while we twitch and stuff our gobs in anxiety. Any suggestions?

A good crime mystery in SFF is always fun to read!

I've got an idea for my Q3, but am not able to start writing it just yet. What with editing my novel and then finishing a novelette, I hope to get to it by mid May.

Watched it this morning. Beautiful stage, nice speeches. Congrats, looked awesome!

I'm in as of 03/26

Good luck with your surgery JVAshley. Wishing you a quick recovery!

I know
I Know
But I do it anyway.

You are not alone. I really doubt it'll happen this week, yet...

Considering the awards ceremony is Friday, I doubt we'll get results this week. With the WotF updates on Facebook, Joni seems really busy. Also, I'm amazed Dave got through the judging so quickly considering his health issues.

Have fun! Enjoy the week!

Those are some pretty nice stats Beth.

I just submitted my Q2. It's a fresh.

I'm in. Good luck to all.
