Yeah same, in 2!

Thanks! @akscotland.bsky.social keeps harping on about the fact "Knickerless Spanks" would be better, but the golden rule of punning is to not stray more than one step from the source material. (E.g. "Stephen Kingfisher" for a horror-writing bird, but not "Woodhen Kingfisher"...)
Heeeey look who (with the punny pseudonym) made the @notquitewrite.com Flesh Fiction longlist!

Wow congrats! The drought has been broken!
Flesh is here.
He's right.
The drought is almost over... RESULTS incoming!

Yay!
@writingbattle.bsky.social
Congrats! Me too π
Stoked to score an HM is this comp for my 500-word story, βThe Permanent Collectionβ. A pleasant surprise to start the year! π Thanks Jerboa!
Hahahaaa I've been soooo bad at reading, I also have a pile of bookmarks and RR to work through!
I won! π₯ @writingbattle.bsky.social
OK, I checked and that one made the LL (and a shout out from me in that ep I think) -- it was Josh Lowe's "Tell Me What The World Looks Like"...!
So, not your story, but congrats on YOUR LL too!
December is your month!
Yeah it's annoying but verbatim for this one!
You got this!
My granny supermarket heist "Aisles 11" is through to the finals of Autumn writing battle! @writingbattle.bsky.social

Change your name to Chad
Which one?
The first one, but that doesn't mean it made it!
Yeah, I agree. Definitely not as many that were outright NO this time around, although a lot in the 'minus' category!
Stay tuned for a βNicest Nineβ vague tweet from meβ¦
I actually don't allocate 'favourites' - mainly as A&E have final say and I'm essentially just recommending if it should go in the LL or not. (But yes, I have faves, and obviously they were your stories, duh.)
Final tally of @notquitewrite.com judging from this Grinch:
YES: 9,
MAYBE+: 50,
MAYBE: 162
MAYBE-: 101,
NO/DQ: 22
Not sure if it was the @notquitewrite.com prompts, but some nice "sister" stories coming through this round. That is all.
So the @notquitewrite.com story idea I'd like to steal is currently sitting with #609139. A fun story that involves a countdown...
As for batch 9, also no YES stories from me. Well, hey, at least we have different tastes as judges...
