More Hits and Yet More Prompts

A few more hits to report. Two for Eclectica, one at Southern Ocean Review, a shortlisting for Caroline at Bournemouth and another finalist (results TBA) for "Britbird", takes the total to 166 for the year, down on last year, but we should pass 200.

Comp wins are still stuck at 14 for this year (compared to 26 last year) but places and finals take us up to 53 comp hits for the year

7Q4 is shaping up nicely, the Children in Need Marathon has 19 signed up (we want 50-100) and we are up to 181 stories 339 numbered flashes and 75 "recent" for the year, a total of 595 shorts/flashes.

Work-wise we've had

1600 Flash Crits & Scores
1500 Full Story Critiques and Grids

3100 Crits in 600 threads

add to that a hundred or so discussions of Quality Published stories and a few dzen craft threads, we are obviously getting lazy
