It might be a sampling issue, but I feel that there is a definite uptick this round of characters named Ed and Amanda. While it does grab my attention, it also puts me slightly on edge. I think I still have PTSD after the infamous Johnson & Johnson incident!

One batch down: three maybe pluses and no yeses at this stage, but one very suspicious entry that's giving ChatGPT. I'm looking at you, Entry 973499 👀

It's finally time for me to blow the dust off my social media accounts and join @AKScotland in the vague tweeting fun! Can't wait to get stuck into the judging.
I seem to be handing out a lot of "maybe pluses" this round, which speaks to the overall high quality. But that means it's going to be a real battle for the longlist. 2 favourites so far! #notquitewriteprize
After a week of sporadic reading, I am finally able to devote an entire day to judging your #notquitewriteprize entries. One batch in and I'm already seeing some very creative takes on the anti-prompt. This was really a tough one!
🚨Attention Not-Quite-Writers!🚨
We've released a new members-only article, with tips on delivering more compelling character descriptions.
Comp entrants, there's now no excuse for lacklustre characters who are little more than their emerald eyes and chestnut locks!

Just read favourite #2. And I know for a fact that @AKScotland rated this one a maybe.
Looking forward to 'agreeing' on the long/shortlist this week 🥊🥊🥊

I've finally escaped my tech support cave and started judging your stories!
I'm only in the first batch and already characters are threatening dismemberment of private parts.
A taste of things to come?
