Technically scheduled for tomorrow night at 11:59pm est.
But do not be surprised if there is a delay... They will send an email if there is one.

I had been checking the forums some over the past few days and hadn't seen a thread like this and I was thinking, "Am I the ONLY one who is super nervous slash excited about the results day?"

I'm less nervous than usual because we all *advance* to round 2 regardless of the outcome. So I will for sure be writing this weekend. 


That said, I am hoping to score a few points in R1 so that I'm not locked out of the possibility of advancing to round 3. 


@nod1v1ng - Yeah, with 4000+ participants @ 1000 words a pop, I'm expecting a delay. It won't stop me from obsessively checking my email, though.

This is my third year doing this and I'm pretty sure there was a delay both the previous years, so I'm guessing there will be a delay this year too! Unless the third time's the charm?

Edit: Never mind, this is my fourth year. I can't count and/or remember things lol.

There's ALWAYS a delay. We have to turn in on time, they put out the results kinda whenever they get to finishing them at the last minute. 

FF R1 is just less nerve wracking because you KNOW you write another, and there's always the extremely remote but extant possibility you could get a 0 and a 15 and advance.

This is my first time doing flash and I got a genre very outside my comfort zone so I'm hoping for a couple of points and that the genre gods are on my side this weekend!!

Okay I'm just telling myself "results on Friday" so I can go about my week without giving it another thought.

Same here! I'm hoping I score some points and get good feedback. Sometimes the 'what needs work' stings a bit, but when I go back and read it a day or so later I'm like, yeah, okay, I see what you mean 
LOL

It'll be fun finding out what I'm writing on Friday!

I read some very fine stories this round. I wasn't very aggressive writing my first story. I had to work that Saturday and had to go to bed early on Sunday night so I could be at work again at 4 am. This weekend, I won't be working on Saturday, so I will apply myself to writing a good story. I'll be looking for beta readers this time. It was another mistake I made in round one. No betas. Good luck with the results for round one and writing this weekend.
