I like twitching parties, but I suspect there is at least another month or so more before we see results. Lets see if I can finally get 3 entries in at the same time.

I'm obviously very new to this, my Q1 submission is literally my third sub ever, but I had a question. You said it was too early to be expecting phone calls, but do finalists get emails confirming they're finalists before they get a call saying they're 1st 2nd or 3rd? And you say it could be a month, are winners not always notified by the end of the quarter?

Obviously I probably won't be a finalist, I feel a little arrogant even asking this question since it's realistically not going to effect me, but I figured it'd be kinda nice to know what's going on haha. Thanks!

@m-norris

Sometimes Kerry will announce on forum that its time to twitch.

After that Joni calls all the finalists to tell them they are in. Joni wants to tell finalist over the phone as a personal touch.

Then they send out the emails for everyone else after the all the finalists were notified.

1-2 Weeks after that Joni will call them again with the 1,2,3 place results

The finalist and 1,2,3 winners are not allow to tell the rest of us until Joni gives them a go.

Hi Malachi and welcome to the contest. I will attempt to explain the judging process best I can.

1. Some unknown number of entries are submitted to the contest each quarter.

2. First reader Kary slushes through the pile and sends the more promising entries up to Jody with notes. First reader Kary will read the beginning and flip to the end looking for specific things. Is it speculative? Is the main character named right away? Does the action take off before the fifth page? Does the ending relate to the opening promise? etc.

3. While Kary is slushing, Jody begins to make her own stacks and notes [so they work on the pile at the same time with Kary taking the lead and Jody sifting through what is passed on to her]

4. When Kary is finished with her role for a quarter she usually makes a cryptic post [this hasn't happened yet for this quarter and this is what I'm on the lookout for]. Jody seems to be about a week behind Kary [or within a week behind Kary] so when Kary makes her post that is when those who think they might be getting phone calls will begin twitching to every phone ring. Only finalists get calls [top 8 entries of the quarter]. And this is when major twitching in the tent occurs as those who don't get calls right away hold on to hope that Joni just hasn't got to them yet.

5. Finalists get the first phone call before the rest of the results are emailed. The top 8 entries are sent to Judges picked by Joni [not sure the number* but I imagine it's an odd number like 3. [*actually 4. the judges use a point system while reviewing. The three with the highest number of points place in that quarter and get a free trip to Hollywood. thanks to @cweaver for clearing this up for us]]. Those who don't get called have no idea of exactly when the top 8 are called or how many of the top 8 Joni has been able to call [this is where time zones play a part and Joni lives in Pacific time zone].

6. About a week after the first phone call the top 8 get a second phone call. I have no idea the amount of twitching such a person goes through waiting for that second phone call which is either the best news possible [you placed in the top 3 and will be getting a ticket to Hollywood, etc.] OR a deflating phone call that lets them know they didn't place but maybe if there's room would they consider being a published finalist? [usually there is only 1 published finalist per volume. They also get a free trip to Hollywood AND they can continue submitting entries to the contest -- unless the pro out]. Non-finalists begin to realize they aren't in the top 8 but major twitching occurs none-the-less wondering what their placement could be. SHMs are strong entries that could have been finalists except there's already too many of whatever type of story they wrote. SFs get actual feedback from Jody [but they can't resubmit those to the contest but should hopefully get it published elsewhere after employing the valuable feedback.

7. After all the finalists have been called a second time, emails go out to the rest in waves. I think they send out DQs, then Rs, then RWCs, then HMs, then SHMs, and then SFs. Due to the miracle of instant communication via email these emails are sent out within a 24 hour period and may actually happen within 2 hours [based on observation].

*So to be clear, we are somewhere between #3 and #4 at this moment. My best guess is that Kary's cryptic post will come somewhere between March 31 and April 15 [just a guess]. It's nice to have the tent set up and ready to go. It's too early to twitch, but not too early to enjoy the snacks and socialize in the tent.*

@tj_knight sounds interesting!

“Stories are the collective wisdom of everyone who has ever lived. Your job as a storyteller is not simply to entertain. Nor is it to be noticed for the way your turn a phrase. You have a very important job—one of the most important. Your job is to let people know that everyone shares their feelings—and that these feelings bind us. Your job is a healing art, and like all healers, you have a responsibility. Let people know they are not alone. You must make people understand that we are all the same.”

@physa I got to talk with Joni about this process at Fyrecon, and she said four judges review the finalist stories. There's some kind of points system or something. 

I hope to be in that pile some day...

Also, it's not arrogant at all! After all, aren't we all trying to win this thing?

It's perfectly reasonable to think we may not make Finalist for a specific Quarter, of course, but I think the majority of Finalists and eventual winners were caught at least somewhat by surprise when they did make it to that level. (And while some, I know, felt so confident that they were surprised when it didn't happen, I think mostly folks realize that this Contest is at a high standard, and far from an easy nut to crack.) So all of us probably won't be a Finalist. And yet, in all likelihood, some of us will be, too--and most of us won't be expecting it when it happens.

Well put.

On the other hand, though, if anyone is just lurking around and feeling nervous, or not wanting to chime in, or just liking the comfort of being able to watch from the shadows and not get engaged, I certainly began that way. I started out by introducing myself here, just a little while after I first entered--I was welcomed by @LDWriter2, posted my HM result, and then disappeared and lurked in the shadows for a few more years before I actually started posting more (which was also when I started to get a little more active and deliberate about submitting).

Lurkers are fine members of our community, only stealthy like ninjas, or cats in the ceiling, peeking down on us--and always welcome.

@gideonpsmith I lurked for a solid nine months until I finally posted lol. I probably would have posted after v39Q3 but I couldn't remember my forum password 😬 so I finally broke in after submitting V39Q4 lol. What really drew me in was watching people ask questions about their WIPs and get solid generous feedback and suggestions. I believe this is the largest sci-fi/fantasy comp in the world, and yet everyone here is rooting each other on. It's not cutthroat. It's not toxic. It's amazing. I'm so here for that kind of culture.

Heard a knock on the door this afternoon, and I jumped to my feet. "Ha! It's the Writers of the Future, come to give me my award." Then I thought again ... Oh, wait. That was Publisher's Clearing House.

Sigh. Still waiting.

But so busy, I haven't been in here to post recently. Got my first novel self-published. Working on a second book, an anthology of short stories (with several WotF HMs in it) to get out this month, I hope. Neither of them yet earning enough to trigger pro status, but it's very nice to sell a few and see them in print.

Meanwhile this week, my f2f critique group tore up this week's story and left it in little tiny shreds floating in the breeze. They didn't care for a depressive protagonist and nothing much happening. Come to think of it, neither did I.

So I thought I'd come in here for good news. So far, no news is good news?
