When and where will the results be posted?
I have a feeling the time difference means it will be different for me, xD |

| Sorry everyone for the huge delay in getting the results posted from the first event! I couldn't do anything yesterday because of a severe allergy attack, and today has been hectic. The good news, though, is that I am now two hours into judging and I expect it to take only another hour! I'll explain why it's taking three hours to judge here soon. |

Awesome!
(Hope you're feeling better, by the by)
On another note, do you mind if we put up our entries as seperate pieces in one of the writing forums? Like, should we wish to continue the piece or just to see what others think of it?
Would that be cheating, I wonder? |

After I lock the thread for the event, you can do anything with your entry that you wish. In fact, I hope many do. So many of the entries are excellent that some of them could be developed into something much more. Right now I'm reading the children's stories, and I'm confident a few them could be published.
On the A to Z event results, expect them from about nine hours of the date of this post. The means 10 pm for me, but that's eastern United States daylight time. |

Excellent, that's cool.
I didn't enter the Children's Story competition because I'm currently enrolled at university in Genre Writing Workshop: Children's Fiction - lol, gives me an edge others don't have on one hand and on the other, makes me somewhat sick of the genre XD. |

I already said this in the Questions thread, but I'm guessing not everyone will read it there.
Anyways, the third event results will be not be published until sometime early tomorrow my time (Washington, DC). I apologize greatly for this, but I did not have enough time today to give the entries the attention they deserve.
However, the fourth event results are almost done and those should be out just a few hours or so after the the third event results are out. |

Nate, I think that you should have an Honorable Mention type thing for the person the you thought did good but didn't make it for some reason, maybe make a thread for it?
just a thought
