FINALLY OUT! Congratulations to all. I'm surprised that KD did all the semi's WITH comments. Again, congrats.

OOOOps! Sorry, guys. It popped up on my search at the top. Didn't mean to be EviL Isto! But hey, I woke you up!!
wrong year. It just feels like an entire year.

Eh? No news on the blog from what I can tell. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

From that edit, I'm guessing it was a previous year's results?

Yep. I'm blushing with embarrassment... something I've done a lot this week.

I'm sure it's fine. We're all a little on edge waiting for the final results. ::refreshrefreshrefreshrefreshrefresh::

You should've kept quite and seen how long it would take people to figure it out... wotf007

and be smothered by marshmallows? hmmm... marshmallows.... what a sweet way to go.

I couldn't imagine why Martin hadn't posted the results from his secret spy lair where all information is gathered.

Ha! His reputation as an information hoarder is richly deserved. wotf004

Thanks, Isto. But trust me: my secret-keeping box is broken and in for repair. If I knew something right now, you would all know it as fast as I could copy and paste. Secret keeping is exhausting, and Evil Martin needs a rest.

That's just what a man with a secret would say! We can never trust you again, Martin. Trust = Broken!

Oh, Thursday don't let us down...

I was looking at past blog posts and I noticed that some have come out on Fridays and Mondays, so maybe we don't have to completely depend on a Thursdays anymore.

I donno...I kind of wonder if Joni'll do what she did last quarter--not make a blog post until the winners are announced.

Most politicians know that if you want to HIDE a story, you release it on Friday. I'm sure Mr. Farland knows this. I'd be shocked if we hear anything tomorrow.

Yeah, I fear no news today. I may have to break out Evil Martin in sympathy.

I refuse to allow Q1- 29 sink to the bottom of my page until the results are announced. And really, does comedy ever get published in the anthology? I've got a dynamite Yeti story... though maybe too wild for the young readers.

On and off. I've had some struggles with this story, and recently it's turned into an all out war of words. I think I'm winning, but it's hard to say for sure.

Oh dear. I need a signature.
And an avatar.
And probably other things I don't even know about.

I feel naked.

I expect that, as someone suggested earlier, Semi and HM announcements will come out with winner announcements.

But I hope for the sake of everyone waiting that individual emails will come sooner than that.

The Gator is stomping a lot and telling me to e-mail Joni... I'm telling her not to be impatient. Though I might have to compromise at some point, if I don't hear something next week, maybe I will e-mail Joni. If I don't the reptile will eat me for sure. wotf017

I couldn't wait any longer. I e-mailed her. wotf014
At this point I just want to find out where I landed and move on to Q4.

The one time I got a semi I found it a slight consolation that I at least knew before waiting for all the big announcements. I hope they go back to that way of handling things in the future.
