So I know officially all results come out on Thursday, but have any of the folks out there who have been doing this for a while have records on what days of the week are most common?
Here's the different-types-of-Thursdays breakdown for my results:
Sunday: 0
Monday: 9
Tuesday: 9
Wednesday: 11
Thursday: 7
Friday: 6
Saturday: 2
Even though there have been less overall, the last two Thursdays have been on Friday for me.

Hmm. Reminds me of "Pogo." This month, Friday the 13th falls on a Saturday.

You know, the waiting had to have sucked. I'm under a pretty strict NDA, so all I can do is mumble something vague about technical difficulties. Even though it's nobody's fault on the judging end or the contest end, I'm so sorry you all had to wait so long.
On the upside - or possibly the muahahaha! side - Q4 will set a land speed record. 😉

Just leave the deliveries on the porch, thank you very much.

Yay for more immediacy on the twitching side! Just what I needed to take my mind off work. And great news about Q4 so that'll mean that story is available for a limited time submission window (yeah I know I shouldn't assume it won't win but it didn't have any beta readers so.........)
I bought a milk heater/frother not that long ago. I think I'll be preparing a nice steamed milk with some real maple syrup for kick (or maybe a dash of amaretto) - a side of shortbread cookies and I will be ready to take my place in the pillow fortress.

Oh, snap! Thursday ain't tongue and cheek this quarter round.....maybe. Good luck, forumites! If you're waiting on the edge of the seat, refreshing your email more times than what you consider healthy, you've done something special. You've created, then put it out there in the multiverse. You are one bad, shut your mouth. The world (multiverse?) is better for it.
