#NotQuiteWritePrize Congratulations, lucky (and very talented) author of #571677! You are my very first outright favourite this round. Masterful use of close third and single effect, well done.

#NotQuiteWritePrize story #560484 with a VERY attention-grabbing title. Will the story deliver?

Speaking of sexy things...
To the author of story #523186, I sincerely apologise for reading a COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE meaning into the title of your story! It was, in fact, deeply heartfelt and emotional (and I need to get my mind out of the gutter).

Someone sneakily snuck a FLESH fiction entry into the #NotQuiteWritePrize (and I'm totally fine with it)

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!

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 👀

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

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'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?
