Shocked by second place. There are so many strong competitors in my group and that's just in the forum posts!

I cannot fathom the process though. I LOVED my 100 word piece that didn't place. I like this one... But there was no love for it. Its a mystery to me.

13th place in Group 39. I will be interested to see feedback, but I dashed off that story quickly on Sunday and I supposed I shouldn’t be surprised by my result.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I was disappointed. Judges must have gone high-brow on me. Can't wait to see the feedback...

Tenth place here, was hoping for more but happy with it all the same :D
Can someone refresh my memory on how many people approximately were in each 'group'?

I did not place, which is disappointing. This is my first competition though, and I already feel I've improved since getting here due to the amazing feedback from fellow competitors. So it still is a win overall! I do look forward to the feedback from the judges and can't wait for round two!

Super thrilled with 7th place in Group 9!! Embarrassed

Good luck this weekend, everyone!

And remember...everyone writes! Even if you didn't get points for Challenge 1!

1st place. Cannot believe it. Completely grateful and humbled. Especially because I got romantic comedy (NOT my genre at all) and I have never written a short story before. I was just happy to post a story and finish it!

Floored by 4th place. Wrote the story quickly and wasn't feeling all that inspired by the prompts, so I'm very glad that I was able to turn it around and get a good score!

Congrats to everyone, whether you gained points this round or not. Here's hoping for a fun second round!

Same here, but I'm also wondering if only minor usage of the item and the lack of major conflict cost me some, as I was all up in the genre and everything took place in the location; hopefully the feedback will be enlightening. 

I also wish they scored EVERYone instead of just the top 15, as I'd like to know if I came close or if it was a complete fail, or what. I also wish all the top stories were posted somewhere since a LOT of people don't post here. I think reading all the placers would be informative and a learning experience.

But after not moving on in MF100 - my first contest, making this one only my 2nd - I decided to only enter if it's a definite moving to the 2nd round like this and short screenplay, so I can feel like I got more of my money's worth.
