Congratulations Jeremy!
And too you too, Inky. Finalist is still fantastic.

I didn't win, but got an email asking if I would like the story to be held for possible anthology inclusion (Joni did try phoning, but we've moved since December).
So, fingers crossed for a win before then, eh.

I dunno
I still haven't seen a published list of winners & HM's. & I don't seem to get 'Nope, not this time, Buddy' emails. So, until the blog post goes up I never know how I've done.

well, damn.
though, I had to settle for an email saying my phone number didn't work.
In typical British understatement, ah!, hmm!, that's nice.

When I talked to Joni on the phone, she indicated that Dave had already set a few stories aside for a second pass. The first Thursday might be right around the corner!

Thanks Dustan!
I first entered in 2013 and got an HM, then didn't enter again until about two years ago. I've entered every quarter since then. My record, in total, goes HM->R->R->SHM->HM->SHM->SHM->SHM->FINALISTFIRSTPLACEWOOOO!
Winning feels like a pretty big deal for me, since this contest motivated most of my short fiction writing for the last two years. I wrote a blog post about it here if you're curious to read more: https://jeremyteg.wordpress.com/

Thanks for sharing your WOTF story, Jeremy! And winning WOTF is a pretty big deal for anyone. Several of my friends got their careers jump started by the recognition from WOTF, so you're on the right track. I see you're on the opposite end of my state. How is SpoCon? Ever attended?
Congrats again!
Cheers,
