Well done, Becky! YOU JUST LEVELED UP AGAIN!
Congratulations! Silver HM means you were in Dave's final stack. It means you wrote professionally. Well done!

Ditto that from me. You guys seriously ROCK!
Congrats to ALL you guys who entered this quarter. Now let's work harder.
I got an HM . . . when I expected an R. Needless to say, I am elated!

It's time to get busy again (had my knee replaced 3 weeks ago - still recovering) on Q1v37.

Last quarter, it was top 2%. Not sure about this one.

Nice work, Corbin! That's top 50 out of the best aspiring writers IN THE WORLD. You were in Dave's final stack! Well done!

So excited for Liz!

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% of all entries, that's not really true. HMs are merit based. They are not percentage based. As Kevin J. Anderson once told me at the Seattle WotF gala, "Even getting one HM is a BIG DEAL. They don't give those things out lightly."
Enjoy!

This makes my 11th HM. My first wasn’t even called an HM. They were called quarter-finalist, but I guess that was a bit misleading so it was changed.

Wow, that's not much. But how do you know that?

Corbin: I believe quarter-finalist was actually the old term for semifinalist back in AJ's day (Algis Budrys). Feel good about that. :)

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.
