    Yikes. I am thrilled to have found a spot in this bunch. I feel a little like the ugly stepsister--the other entries were that good.

    Thanks, Ms. Bradford and thanks Authoress!

    congrats to all the winners and thanks to those who took the time to crit.

    #30 was my top choice, too. Good job, Ant. The other four runners up were also four of my personal favorites. Again, congrats to all and good work.

    Congrats to the winners and thanks to Authoress and Laura Bradford. Number 30 seemed the natural winner to me as well!

    I was the one with the confusing genre (Women's/book club fiction with potential YA crossover) and left a more rambling note about that on my own entry (#11) in case anyone is interested. :) I appreciate all the feedback.


    Thanks for doing these contests, Authoress. Much fun!

    Authoress, you're amazing for running these contests and the secret agents are amazing for giving up their time to judge them (thanks to Ms. Bradford!).

    Congrats to all the winners!

    And a note to SFF writers: If you want your first 200 words critiqued by an editor (and anyone else who chooses to comment)check out the First Page Game at http://electricspec.blogspot.com/
    They normally crit short story openings, but they've thrown in open to novels in deference to Nanowrimo

    A special thank you goes to Laura Bradford. I appreciate every comment.

    And thank you to the Goddess Authoress for this website and this forum.

    Now where did I put that chocolate…I know I had a pound of that caramel/gooey stuff somewhere.

    Congrats to everyone on the winners' list. All deserve to be there.

    One observation after reading them: each one is first person either past or present tense. Interesting. Seems to work best for YA.
