I just wanted to share with all my challenge friends that I received a totally unexpected scholarship to Superstars! Writers of the Future contributed to allow two additional people to attend the seminar and my application was selected! I still can't quite believe it's real! Work hard, never give u...

I guess that makes sense. If the ones that made it to the very top, but didn't get selected, could go right back in, then they would rocket to the top again and it would be near impossible for other contestants to get their stories in.

So, can a finalist be resubmitted? Would it be a good idea?

I apologize if this is the wrong place for the question Wulf but the answer might interest your current wolfpack? If I should move this to a different thread, please let me know.

I remember Liz's story. It was very inventive so it wasn't just a weird Western. I'd love to read the final product sometime.

Did you get a critique already?

disgruntledpeony wrote:Just got the second call from Joni. Apparently, I came in 4th place. Just shy.

Ahh well.

Congratulations on the win, SwiftPotato! I'm absolutely thrilled for you.

Okay--just found this. Rats!

So your being fourth is just as valid, at least from our perspective. We'd like to hear about your story, length, genre, and how you came up with it. Well. Damn it. I didn't see where you said anything Liz. Shoot. You're obviously writing at winner-level. I'm sure Wulf is right. When you get that h...

Fabulous! Wow, what a surprise. No finalist call--proceed directly to the win! Congrats. We are proud to have a challenge beast win. :)

Swift--How could it not be a SF? I bet you've checked your spam folder a million times. Have you gotten any emails from Galaxypress? If not, maybe they don't have the right email?

Done. Congrats!

Man, this forum is the place to be.

I made a list. Let me know if there are any mistakes. Wow! It's a big list. Congrats everyone!

So, is it unusual for there to be so many SHMs and HMs among forumites?

Thanks Swiftpotato! That was a lot of work I know.

A lot of HMs here! Congrats to all the forumite HMers!

Honorable Mention for me. I wish we knew how many entrants, because that's basically like top 10%, right? Joni keeps the total number of entries secret so as not to discourage aspiring writers from entering. But Dave has publicly said "thousands" each quarter, so it's out there. As to 10%...

So Liz will probably hear in a week to ten days?

I'll add my thanks as well (I already mentioned it on the Q4 thread). Yes, my SHM story definitely benefited from Wulf's generous advice and shared talent. Thanks dude. You rock.

Go LIz! Our Champion!

This is my first silver. I'm pretty happy about that.

My sincere congratulations to everyone who enterd.

Congrats! Yes, there are a few of us this time and I think we've all gotten help from Wulf. Thanks Wulf. You've been incredibly generous with your time and talent.

disgruntledpeony wrote:Awesome news, Corbin and Chuck! Top 50 is damn good.

Thanks. So excited for you!

SHM That’s encouraging. I’d rather win of course but I’ll take it.



So excited for Liz!

SHM woot! 11/23

I made a collection of nearly all of my published stories, and for the first time, I'm trying out a paperback version too! I learned a lot of things about how books are put together along the way--I did all of the cover/interior design/layout, and there were some frustrating moments while I tried t...

Well, they did say early-December so we should have at least another week before any calls then?

Can't remember. How much time passes between the calls and the Rs/HMs/SHMs coming out?

First pro sale! Congrats!

Not to 50!

Last year, I was notified I was a finalist November 13th...and winners were notified on November 20th. Wulf Moon ACK!!! Wulf!

Which means January if recent history is any guide. I don't mean this in a snarky way. I can wait. Just pointing out that staff predictions "go oft awry" ("gang aft agley") :)
