Squeaked through in 5th as well!
Congrats to those who are moving on. I sympathize with those who are not. I've done these things for years, and this is only my third (I think) time making it to final round. I crashed hard both previous times.

I'm really not sure with this one! I kind of feel like I may be in the "HM" zone--it took me a long time to warm up to my story after a mad dash to the finish where I made some mistakes, and now I feel neutral-positive about it, but it has enough flaws that I'm trying not to get my hopes up. And there are 8 FANTASTIC group 16 stories posted on the Master List, and only 5 of us can make it through! I don't envy the judges here as I can't imagine making that kind of call!

Called it LOL HM2! I’m happy with that, as HM1 is my least favorite placing lol. Huge congrats to everyone moving on!

Amazingly I got 2nd! Third time WAS the charm!

I definitely felt worse about this story than I did for round 1, but I made it through in 4th-- phew!

I reread your story and thought it was great. Chin up! It’s so hard to know what they’re looking for. I liked my 2nd round story much more than my first- which did place. Bummed because I really can’t afford to enter these all that often.
