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"...)

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!

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!

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.)

Not sure if it was the @notquitewrite.com prompts, but some nice "sister" stories coming through this round. That is all.

As for batch 9, also no YES stories from me. Well, hey, at least we have different tastes as judges...
