This is today, yes? Or possibly tomorrow for us east of the Atlantic. How's everyone feeling? I've warmed to my story a bit after not being that keen at first, but this year has confirmed that my feelings are no guide whatsoever to my results. I'd love to write again this weekend, and for once I'm reasonably free, so fingers crossed...

I wasn’t expecting them until my tomorrow morning but I’d love to see them today,
Not confident about my story - don’t feel like it has much to offer the A/A genre to stand out (but don’t think it’s terrible) so think it’s a bit of a lottery for me. Enjoyed the other two I read in my group (yours being one) and wouldn’t be shocked or upset by any result. Still, I always enjoy writing for these comps so I’d love to go through.

No idea. The last time I looked at my story was when I turned it in. I've never been assigned Fairy Tale before, but I remember being satisfied with the final result. According to the rules in my head, it checked a lot of genre boxes and had a fresh take on one of the prompts. It's decently polished insofar as I don't remember wishing I had more time to work on it. I'd love to write this weekend, but it's a competitive field, so my expectations are low. Also, whenever my husband asks, "which one is this?" I can never remember the title. That's probably bad, yeah?

Results should be coming out tonight, I believe. Usually around 10:00 p.m. EST. But there could always be delays, so who knows really lol

I was so surprised that I'd gotten through to the second round, I don't really have hopes this time around, though. I do like my story, but the feedback I've received is so spot on. I didn't have the time or the heart while I was writing.
I will say it's been a load of fun. I've been writing for many years (mostly speeches but a lot of ) but have never thought to enter a challenge—I'm looking forward to more!

I wish it were earlier, but it is what it is. So on the off chance I get through (I liked my story, but who knows), do we get the prompts at at midnight on June 1 going into the 2nd or June 2nd going into the 3rd?

Telling myself they're due tomorrow but checking emails just in case ...
I'll be sad to go out but also have double booked my weekend so it would be convenient!

then I'm in the weird position of hoping I get through because, hey, that would be cool (and has never happened) but also knowing that I have to go out of town for a darned bridal shower this weekend!

I like my story but I've been very surprised by the results before. I never thought my first round story would get me through to this round. And then there were stories I was sure nailed it but then they crashed and burned. So who knows?
