All around! Whether you've already submitted or will submit, or (like me) have submitted more than once Confused, high fives for completion! 5 pages is no easy task to tell a story, these prompts were iffy at best, and 24 hours (!?) Is just downright insane. But we did it (or will) and didn't give up. 

High fives, cheers, and best of luck to all of you!

Just uploaded. High five!
Personally i can't fault the prompts. They left it wide open. In a way that's a good challenge for the final.

Good point. I do feel like these prompts could end up all over the place, so I'm really looking forward to reading those that are shared on the forums.

Submitted too. I thought they were great prompts because they didn't box us in. Sometimes I wonder if the judges really want to read 50 different takes on some very specific job (wasn't there marine biologist last time?) of which probably 40 have been very hastily Googled, given the time constraints!

So I was very happy with what came down the pipe this morning.

Obviously I won't be saying that in a few weeks' time! Does anyone know when the results are announced?

It was marine biologist last time. Which I was fine with Cool. But this was okay too.

Still working on a possible alternate structure for mine but not ashamed of what I submitted.

Omg I finally submitted a somewhat readable draft. Spent all day polishing my so-so piece, then (finally) got grabbed by inspiration and churned out a completely new story in about two hours that is not so polished. That's what the next two hours are for!

I’m so tired. I got the whole thing done in about three hours after work. I open tomorrow. I need to sleep.

Silly question - if we submit multiple files but change the title in the last one, are there any issues?

But you did it, which is pretty stellar.
