I am incredibly honoured and totally bowled over to have placed first. A huge congratulations to everyone. This is such a lovely supportive competition, and it has been an enormous pleasure to write alongside so many incredibly talented writers. I look forward to Flash Fiction!

Congrats to all the winners! While I was, of course, a little disappointed not to see my name anywhere, it was not unexpected as I had last minute, unavoidable commitments arise the day of the competition. I knew exactly what was wrong with my story when I submitted it and that was confirmed in comments. But, as always, it was a wonderful experience and this was my first time making the final round. I learn more about my writing with every round!
Congrats again to all the winners and I hope to find some time to read the stories soon! See you all next time (or in Flash Fiction!)

Congratulations to everyone who made the final round, scored honorable mentions, and of course, placements at the end!
I'm sorry I didn't get to share in the journey through the second and third rounds (HM in round 1 is a heart breaker, really!) but here's hoping for next time... There's a tremendous amount of talent here and a wonderful supportive community on these boards. Look forward to seeing you next month in FFC! :)

Hey, that's me! 6th place. Now I need to read all the stories of the people who beat me so that I can seethe with jealousy. Congratulations to all! I wish I'd participated more on the forums. Either way, this process was fun and the shot in the arm my creativity needed. Can't wait for next time.

Just being in the third round has put me in rarefied company. It's been a great experience, and while I didn't have much opportunity to leave feedback, I did tremendously enjoy the stories I read.
Looking forward to the FFC in July, and hope to see you all there.
