Congrats Dean(o)! Excited to read it soon as I get a chance.

Why did I leave it sitting in my bookmarks this whole time, gathering dust?

I really liked all the stories, and now I especially want to read the other in the 10 that narrowly missed the shortlist. And the longlisted stories too.

Congrats! One of my personal favourites from the shortlist! Gave me shivers.

You too!!! Really honoured to be on the shortlist, and in such a competitive round, especially.

And all the shortlisted piece are affecting. I was shuddering from sixth place, so I'm still reeling to be placing second.

Such a great episode!

Thanks again for this competition! And for the great excuse to finish something!

The winner here is powerfully brutal. Or, brutally powerful. It's hard to say.

@notquitewrite.com You're lucky you got this one before the New Yorker did.

My employer does sell machines to a company in Brisbane. And when the machines breaks they sometimes send us out to fix things 👀

That'll need a stroke of luck though. Or a stroke of sabotage.

Or maybe I went to bed one day with the podcast running at zero volume throughout the night 🤔

Poor Ed 😭 I mean, I'm not complaining. But make sure he treats himself to a big glass of wine afterwards.

Didn't like another one of Ed's recs, huh? 😓

Weren't there more stories than that? 🤔 Someone call the mathemachicken.

He just doublEd his post count, what did you do to him?

But I don't know if the title had an even or odd number of words, so I'm absolutely clueless

Take the money and run 😤

But do I really need that time given my competitive advantage? Paring back my time is just levelling the playing field.

Oops, I spoiled it...
