Great. I don't even have a story in the running for Q1 and I can't stop checking this forum.
I second this sentiment. And wish to help achieve the goal of 100 pages!

Just to make Tina crazy...
I do believe that ship has sailed. Or perhaps there are those among us who still claim to have a grip on sanity?
I just have a twitch in my left eye. Martin won't abandon me, right? RIGHT? This whole quarter has made me feel like King Priam's daughter, Cassandra. She was insane too.

I won't be abandoning you; but since I know you're fond of round numbers, it might feel that way if I decide to hold off my 2,000th post for a worthy occasion... like celebrating announcements at last.
But yes, there it is, I've decided: I shall stop at 1,999 posts. I will not make my 2,000th until we have Q1 announcements.
While I'm sure you'll all enjoy the peace and quiet, I'm still hoping my silence is short-lived.

ACK! We must now have announcements ASAP. I will be sad if I don't see the bunny-slippered spaceman!

I can live with this decision. We'll throw you a huge "2000 posts" party
The odd number will bother me, so for my sake, I hope results come in really, really soon. *twitch* *twitch*

Martin L. Shoemaker, how dare you drop a big fat bomb like that into this forum. And no one's exploded yet!

Two-thousand zero zero party over, it's out of time. So Martin's gonna party like it's 1999!

Unfortunately he's torturing me, but it's a good reason to fall silent. I've been hoping someone would do a sit in and I guess this is the closest we will come to that. WOTF seems to like Martin, so he's taking one for all of us. Thank you Martin! Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed....but do you realize who that leaves in charge?
That's right, folks -- PARTY!!! Psst, I think the gatekeeper just left!!
Bring the beer around back.
The cake goes on the counter. Jeannette don't you dare stick your finger in the icing.
Hang the streamers.
Who left these pink bunny slippers and space helmet in the middle of the living room?
EVERYTHING must be perfect for when we get announcements.

*scratches head* Is this a Millennial joke?
I actually use trinary for everything, so Martin's next post will only be his 54th.
(Please ignore that his current post number is 10201% impossible in my chosen number system. You think this is complicated--how do you think I feel when it comes time to give people my address? That has 6s and 7s and 5s in it. )

I know. They better not disappoint us now. We might even get to 101 by the end of the week or early next if they can pull it together.

I love how nerdy this tread gets. We're really going to show WOTF admin how to party, spec style.

Whaaaa . . .? What happens when they don't release the finalist until next week?

For anyone who is a Martin fan. You can now see he is making chicken-crossing-road jokes on Facebook. I gave it about 20 minutes and then went over and checked there. I knew he'd need an outlet.
ETA: He now tells me I got the quote wrong. It's from *M*A*S*H* and it involves a rubber chicken and a tea pot.
ETAA: I think he may have found a way to communicate... I totally fell for it.

Someone on another forum reported getting an HM today, so some results seem to be going out...
The person I know who got an HM today was in the hold pile, an e-sub.

I hadn't considered FB.
Anyone's welcome to add me. I'd go on an add rampage but I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable if they're like, "Damn, he found me!"

I'm glad hold pile news is going out. I knew they'd have to unclog that before they could filter out the last spots for finalists. I guess when we see Semi-finalist notifications then we'll know. Paper-subbers will most likely get notification in the mail or see it on the blog announcement.
