Also, the story I submitted was my third attempt! I outlined two others and I just didn't feel them, so I threw them out and started fresh today. Can't wait to see what everyone did!

Group 1 submitted just in time. It is bad. I wanted my villain to seem implacable, but he comes off as bland. Annoying that I knew it was a boring idea from the get go but just wanted to get something on the page and figured I could edit it into something decent later. And then there was no time. So now it's just this corny wannabe thriller with wonky characters and 80's cheeseball action lines I had as placeholders but couldn't think of anything better. Ah well

Three minutes to spare. Had the least time to write of any challenge because of commitments and I felt every reduced minute of it. Lucky to have some last minute readers. Whew. Just glad to get it in.

Yessss I cannot wait to read this! I (unselfishly) bet you're safe :3 Getting a plot-heavy genre in this word count is really tough, I totally commiserate! I'm sure you did great <3

I'm in the same group and went pure WW2 historical thriller. We are all in a similar boat. Can't wait to read both of yours!

Hey groupmate!! We've all been there <3 I think you should be proud for putting something together, as thriller is a really tough genre (imo -- the first time I got it I completely washed out that round!) I bet with a little distance, you'll find a lot more to appreciate about it. Maybe the parts you're worried about will be the bits that really set it out from the pack Great job and I hope you choose to share, because I'd love to read!

Congrats, you're officially part of the NYCM family Everyone's in it, but you really feel it during your first oh-god-what-am-I-doing pre-deadline panic. It sounds like you made good humor of it all and I really hope you're proud of it now!! It's hard as HELL to write a story this fast, and you did a great job <3 |

Well done everyone for getting their stories in! After a gruelling day in an airport and a delayed flight later, I arrived in a foreign country to discover I'd somehow submitted my story with an out of date synopsis with the re-named main character's original name in it. Going to see if I can buy a baseball glove today so I can do the biggest facepalm in history
Oh well. Hopefully the judges won't notice

My crushing doubt isn't about the story itself, but about whether I stretched the limits of the genre a bit too far and am firmly in scifi territory 🥴 we shall see!
