Semifinal A has closed, and I'll get around to posting authors tonight at some point!

Round 2F has also closed, and Semifinal B will be posted either tonight or sometime tomorrow!

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

Yeah, rock on!
I appreciate all the work you are putting into this. And really looking forward to the little flash pieces in the two final contests!

I'm not trying to hurry you, but I don't see the Poll for Semifinal B, and I want to make sure that's because it isn't there, yet, and not because I'm broken.

One more voice of thanks to Bdoomed, and to everyone who read & commented on the many entries. I thought the feedback showed a great deal of consideration, and I enjoyed reading the comments as much as the stories themselves.

Fun contest!

E-mails are being sent out for "declines".  Please forgive the obvious form rejection! 

Might be putting up a poll-intro poll soon :P

Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

Many thanks, BDoomed.

Does anyone have suggestions where to shop out these stories? From prior experience, I know in better off leaving them at their original length, and it's hard to find flash markets (or at least it was years ago when the last contest ended).

I've been getting some good use out of Unblinking's Submission Grinder - it not only lets me track my progress, but lets me search for markets.

Update: Also--finding an enthusiastic editor to help you polish is a huge plus.
