I didn't either. But 2 folks in my writing group did and from what I saw in Beta it was well deserved. :)

I got mine as well. And I didn't make me feel very confident about being in the top 3 either. I'm still struggling with this competition because in every round there was at least one comment from the judges that made me feel like they didn't really read the story carefully. (Complaining about elements that they felt shouldn't be in the story that weren't actually there, complaining they didn't know the reason for X when it was the first sentence, complaining that B happened before A, when the sentence clearly reads I did A, then B) Doing both in one weekend was definitely a hard thing... maybe not a thing I'd care to repeat! Best of luck with the scoring! |

Just got my feedback for the final round. I was worried they'd outright kick the story out for not following the prompts exactly, but I wasn't disqualified. I don't particularly think I'll be in the top 3 though, although you can never tell. The "what I liked about the piece" section was strong, but so was the "where the piece needs improvement" section :P
It was very difficult trying to deal with two competitions in one weekend. Not sure if I'll be up for that again (unless I somehow miraculously place in the YeahWrite and advance in the NYCMidnight one!).
