Drumroll, please

That’s right, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: we’re about to announce who’s moving on to round two of the yeah write super challenge, fiction edition!

Before I do that, though, writers, if you don’t have your feedback, please send us an email at superchallenge@yeahwrite.me, ’cause that email should have reached you about twelve hours ago. And make sure we’re in your address book so we don’t get sent to your spam folder, OK? (Ugh, I know, what is this, 1998?)

I’ll drag this out a little longer to thank all of you for participating, and to send a special shout-out to our admin team: Arden, Christine and Stacie, we couldn’t have made it this far without you guys. Folks, anything that’s going well for you is all them; anything that’s screwed up behind the scenes is almost certainly my fault.

We had a really amazing batch of stories for round one, and you should all be proud of yourselves for participating. Remember, we’re grading on a curve so just because you didn’t advance doesn’t mean your story wasn’t good or that you shouldn’t polish it up and submit it to an anthology or mag somewhere, ok? I hope the feedback you’re getting from the judges is helpful not just in analyzing this particular story but in taking a look at patterns in your writing and seeing what you’re doing well and where there’s room for improvement.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Who’s ready for the results?

The top 20 writers will be moving on to round two. We’ll release the prompt on Friday, but this round you’ll be receiving a character and an event prompt, so get ready to step into someone else’s shoes! In alphabetical order, our round two writers will be:[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Michael Atkinson

Wait, wait, there’s more!

First of all, writers, congratulations and keep your eyes peeled for that email Friday at 10pm US Eastern time with your group and prompt assignments.

Second, all writers are now free to share their round one story any way they like. Just to make it easy, we’ve made a round one grid. If you want to put your story on your blog (or anywhere on the ‘net) and link it up here, we’re sharing this grid on this post and the main page for the super challenge. Just click the submission link below and enter the URL where you’ve posted your work. Please use the same email you used for the super challenge so we know it’s you, and don’t worry if you don’t see your post right away: we’re moderating entries to make sure only our round one writers link up to this grid.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
