So many people are embracing the weirdness this round! There are some truly 'out there' stories, and I'm loving it. #NotQuiteWritePrize

I just read one of the standout stories of the comp, randomly placed in the last batch, right before the finish line. #NotQuiteWritePrize

My results for the #NotQuiteWritePrize: Yes/Favourite: 4 Strong Maybe - 20 Maybe - 76 No - 81 DQ - 2 But now the REAL fun starts. Will A K Scotland and I agree on the ratings, or will we need to fight it out! 🥊

I've finally escaped my tech support cave and started judging your stories! I'm only in the first batch and already characters are threatening dismemberment of private parts. A taste of things to come? #NotQuiteWritePrize

The batch that began with dismemberment... ends with diarrhoea! 😂 #NotQuiteWritePrize

Results after the first 3 batches (including one small batch): Yes 2 Maybe+12 Maybe20 Maybe-9 No2 So far there are a lot of stories on the cusp of the long list, but only a few elevating above the pack! #NotQuiteWritePrize

I just read my first 'favourite' 👀 #NotQuiteWritePrize

Just read favourite #2. And I know for a fact that A K Scotland rated this one a maybe. Looking forward to 'agreeing' on the long/shortlist this week 🥊🥊🥊 #NotQuiteWritePrize

It’s #FuriousFiction Friday! Prompts drop in 8 hours.

After a week of sporadic reading, I am finally able to devote an entire day to judging your #notquitewriteprize entries. One batch in and I'm already seeing some very creative takes on the anti-prompt. This was really a tough one!

I seem to be handing out a lot of "maybe pluses" this round, which speaks to the overall high quality. But that means it's going to be a real battle for the longlist. 2 favourites so far! #notquitewriteprize

Let the games begin! #notquitewriteprize #longlist

It's finally time for me to blow the dust off my social media accounts and join A K Scotland in the vague tweeting fun! Can't wait to get stuck into the judging.

Entry 3144 - Only three stories in and already found a creative interpretation of 'passive voice' that never even occurred to me! @NotQuiteWritePrize

One batch down: three maybe pluses and no yeses at this stage, but one very suspicious entry that's giving ChatGPT. I'm looking at you, Entry 973499 👀 #NotQuiteWritePrize

It might be a sampling issue, but I feel that there is a definite uptick this round of characters named Ed and Amanda. While it does grab my attention, it also puts me slightly on edge. I think I still have PTSD after the infamous Johnson & Johnson incident! #NotQuiteWritePrize

Entry 762677- A very uncomfortable response to the burning prompt. It's a yes from me! #NotQuiteWritePrize
