MOAR STOREEZ! MOAR STOREEZ!

Joking aside, the first round was fun. Thanks for your hard work Phoebe! And all those involved!

I totally agree. I WANT MORE! 😅

By the way, when voting starts, how many votes do we get per group? 3?

I'd like to post something witty, but all I can think of is Homer Simpson singing "Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig, does whatever a Spider-Pig does..."

Clever 🙂

Can only see 1 group. Not sure how many there are supposed to be.

Hey Phoebe -- I can see the stories in Group 1, but no way of voting for them. Am I missing something?

Hello!

Thunderscreech · **Reply #57 on:** May 07, 2022, 02:40:35 AM

Anyone know the interval for new groups being posted?

Anthony Creamer · **Reply #58 on:** May 07, 2022, 03:06:51 AM

no idea on the spacing, wasnt every few days last time? Idk. I think I saw somewhere voting should start around the 15th?

It would definitely help if the admins/contest organisers were to post a schedule. I appreciate that new people running this means things are different this time, but there's a lot of head scratching in this forum!

When will groups be posted?
When will voting be open/close on those divisions?

Any other differences between this and previous contests, like how many votes.

It can be (from past experience) difficult to sustain interest through the latter groups, so might not be a good idea to drag it out TOO long! (especially as group 1 is having quite a lengthy preview)

Thanks!

Oh no! I completely missed the announcement for this contest. Oh well, looking forward to reading everyone’s entries anyway!

I enjoyed the chance to read Batch 1. Some very cool stories. When does the voting start?

QFT. Would love to see the next batch of stories!

Apologies for all the headscratching - the voting schedule is getting final confirmations now and will be going up as soon as possible! I can confirm, as has been mentioned earlier, that voting will start on the 15th.

Phoebe,

The schedule doesn't cover when the new Groups are released for reading (but not for voting yet).
Will they follow Group 1's lead with 2 weeks of reading before the voting week? Should I be seeing Group 2 already then?

Thanks in advance!

Phoebe Barton · **Reply #65 on:** May 12, 2022, 04:45:00 PM

Group 1 was an outlier because at the time I wasn't completely sure of what I was doing. Future groups will open up for reading two days before the seven-day voting period.

Feranox · **Reply #66 on:** May 13, 2022, 02:50:39 AM

Thanks!

SusanWindSinger · **Reply #67 on:** May 13, 2022, 04:49:46 AM

Hello all. New at this. Trying to get hold of the navigation. I look forward to the contest.

scottbeggs · **Reply #68 on:** May 13, 2022, 02:51:58 PM

POST!

skidders · **Reply #69 on:** May 13, 2022, 03:11:48 PM

On Sunday, my plan is to reread all the flash pieces in Group 1. I'm sure some have faded in memory. Good luck to all the authors

Coffee Dragon · **Reply #70 on:** May 14, 2022, 01:09:45 AM

Woot!

Phoebe Barton · **Reply #71 on:** May 15, 2022, 01:54:30 PM

The poll for Group 1 is now up! If anyone can't see it, for whatever reason, please let me know.

Chris Rose · **Reply #72 on:** May 15, 2022, 03:02:38 PM

Weird that I never posted in the forums before! I have two stories in Escape Pod #802 and #555. Good luck to everyone in the contest!

cfreili · **Reply #73 on:** May 15, 2022, 10:43:02 PM

Wasn't group 2 supposed to post today? I'm very eager to read more!
