Yep, I almost didn't get one written, but I did it.
Title: A Father's Love Genre: Military Scifi Word Count: 956 Synopsis: A commander remembers his father as he watches the invincible advance across his lines. For seven years, he's had a plan, but can he execute it? My beta readers seemed to respond well to it, even though it was (sorta) last minute. I felt good about it, in the end.

I did mine this year too. The freedom of there only being one prompt I found easier than NYCM.
Title: Regrets to Alice Genre: Drama Word count: 989 Synopsis: During a seemingly endless night, a man writes a letter to Alice. It sounds so boring, but I think it's one of the better things I've written.

I did this too! Didn't realise so many others on here were participating.
Title: Luck and Order Genre: Comedy/Fantasy Word count: 984 (I think) Synopsis: didn't do one, but I guess it would be: two magical law enforcement officers deal with the consequences of a broken mirror. I found it quite hard having only one prompt, think I prefer the NYCM format! |

All my stories are here!

I was in too :)
Title: The Shrine of Endurance Genre: Comedic Fantasy Word Count: 996 Logline: A wizard at the end of a seven-year quest finds his prize is not what he expected. I had so much fun with this. The extra day to write felt like four extra days, lol.

Mine is still just marked as received. I'm not sure on the timescales for the fiction war, this is my first year.

It sounds like 15 finalists will be announced on August 28th! And then the overall winner is announced a week or two later.

I've done FW before and they didn't update from "received" to "in progress" in those comps. I believe NYC is the same way, but I'm not sure. Everyone does it differently. I find that I never know how it is going to be when I submit something.
So don't sweat it. It is just how they do it. It will probably remain the way it is now till they announce the finalists. Yes, it is annoying, but that's how it is. Hope I'm making sense. I haven't had much sleep.
