It's today, right?? I'd managed to put this to the back of my mind, but now it's results day I feel a constant refreshing coming on! 
How are you other finalists feeling? 
I'm in the UK so it could actually be 5am tomorrow for me, but I'm hoping it'll be before I go to bed! The judges can't STILL be deliberating, can they?
Strangely, I feel less nervous than when the round 2 results were coming out,  I think because I SO wanted to make it to the final, and thought I had an OKish chance of getting there. This time round, I think I'm feeling there's less chance of me actually placing in the top 15, and I'm just thrilled to have made it this far! (But of course, sneaky hopes that I might have placed do keep glimmering through!) 
What are your thoughts, everyone?

Yes, this is pretty much how I feel too! I really wanted the chance to write in the final so was quite giddy to get round 2 results. But I didn't really enter this expecting to win anything, so not as anxious about today's results. Relatively happy with my piece, though (especially after some time away from it LOL) and excited to see which forum participants rank well. There are some pieces on here I really loved.

Yes! Exactly how I feel! I didn't read many of the final stories on here, I felt pretty drained from it straight after, so I'm excited to read some more today! :)

See, I thought results came out yesterday, and managed to show what I thought was an admirable level of restraint while waiting for the email.

I also have no real thought I'm going to win anything, but I'm excited to see who does - a quarter of entrants posted to the forums, so we should see several people placing!

Hoping to appear somewhere in the list - I have a habit of making NYCM finals but not appearing in that final mail!

Good luck everyone.

Should be less than twelve hours now, eh?
We're super anxious over here.

I'm so hoping it's before I go to bed! Anybody know when they announced it last year??

I don't know about last year.  

I'm guessing you're headed to bed soon in UK.

Good luck everyone! I'm hopeful to see a ton of forumites at the top

By my chat records we had results by 3:30 PM PST last year which is ... well, right now. But the past rarely dictates the future with these things ;)
