Okay, it's a deal ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
-
@zomaraH yeah I am haha
-
@zomaraH at this point, idk. i recently did a whole revision on my story (basically the writing style) and the one I submitted in the contest is the old version (same plot flow, diff. writing style). I hope the judges will let it pass. I will be the happiest person when that day comes.
oh, now's that day. HAHAHA
-
@Mugen exactly it so weird we waited over three months but can't wait another couple of hours hahaha
-
@zomaraH when will they release the round 1 result anyways? around this time right?
-
@Mugen i think the "judging" ends today but last year the results were announced around April the third on social media so I'm not sure if we are going to know prior
-
@zomaraH at the page it was stated the round 1 ends today, march 31. did they delayed the announcement last year too?
-
@Mugen maybe the round ends today but the results takes time to be announced? Last year it was announced the 3rd of April.
Lets assume its going to be any time this week and dwell in anxiety lol -
And lets not forget about time zones. In America, depending on the place, it should be between 4:45 and 7:45 am right now. But we may need to wait a few days more...
-
@shiratori-keira oh that's a good point, lets wait and see 🥵🥵🥵

Oh my god, my heart went all dokun and crazy, almost had a heart attack (seriously). Then I noticed it was only for the "Ongoing" stories (mine is complete). And I'm glad I did notice that before I checked the passing titles 🥵
I am still shaking here. I know I said I wanted to know the results as soon as possible, but now I was barely able to click the link. I better not come here and wait for the email because my heart won't last the stress of searching over a list of titles.

FYI—If anyone is looking to the forums for updates—as of 6/2/25 9:15AM EST no results have been announced for the 2nd round of contest other than we should hear something by 3:00PM EST today (per discord), I am not sure if something means a list of folks who move on, or just an update on when results can be expected.
Thanks and good luck! -
Update, per Discord:
“ Hello,
Our apologies for the delay. The round 2 results will be delayed.
While we do not have a set date for the results to be announced yet. I will be back with a further update later this week. At the latest, Friday the 6th US time. Probably around 3 pm ET.
Thank you”
(yeah, ”something” was a whole lot less impressive than I had hoped!)
-
Update, per Discord:
“ Hello,I will keep this intentionally brief. We will ask for a bit more of your patience for the round 2 results.”

sad faceSorry to hear that, just know that it doesn't mean that your work is bad or anything.
By the way, was it only announced on discord/email? Well, I guess the passing works will be made public soon anyway.Shiratori Keira

@shiratori-keira - They haven't announced the actual passing entries - just that they have sent emails to 13 lucky people so not getting an email is a sign you didn't progress (I say sign because there was a horrible hiccup with someone's spam filters or something from memory last year and they didn't see the email).
Given it is the weekend over in the US and they'll have to set up the previews, etc, I would not expect a final confirmed list until mid-next week.
But I am guessing and my guesses have been way off the ball so far this year.
