Thanks!

I glanced at your blog -- and found myself (a) the subject of your newest entry (http://chris-s-owens.livejournal.com/2757.html) and (b) feeling sorry that your story didn't make it. (grin) That's the worst aspect of the WOTF, really -- for everyone who wins or is published, many someone elses don't. (double-jeopardy-grin)

Looks like you did some real detective work on your competitors for the coveted Published Finalist category. For the record, they took the longer of my two stories, 14,200 words versus 10,500 words, so for them to have taken two stories, the second would've had to fit into the spread of stories and been under 4000 words. Huh, come to think of it, my Q1 2008 story is under 3900 words. (triple-word-score-grin)
