By the way, does anyone else spend results day attempting to guess the URL for the results page, to get a sneak preview? Has anyone ever succeeded?

If I'm bored. I did once - I saw the results 30 mins before they were announced but opted not to tell the forums just in case NYCM needed the time to double check errors

This is my first time doing the challenge so getting to Round Two was more than I expected.  I had horror this round, a genre I do not like at all.  Reading the other stories in my group I don’t think I have a chance but I’ve learned a lot so I consider it a success.

@theinquistor @Draiglas I thought I was clever just refreshing the MF250 page since the results link there shows up a few minutes sooner than emails go out, but this is a whole other level of galaxy brain LOL *Whistles innocently, not at all planning to spend the day guessing URLs...*

So glad I'm not the only one intimidated by 5 out of 50! I definitely don't see myself moving forward with those odds. I also didn't love my piece, personally. It wasn't a story I wanted to tell, so I can't really get a strong grasp on how technically good or bad it is. I got such positive feedback and I'm really glad it was enjoyable but I am unsure if that's enough to carry me to the end.

After coming first in my group in R1, I'm not sure about my entry for R2. I liked my story, but I don't think it is quite punchy enough to progress. 

Fingers crossed though!

How dare you put this thought in my brain, I can't shake it and now I have another tab to keep refreshing hoping for an announcement LOL

I find this all oddly comforting like I've found my people. Tongue
