Results of Flash Fic #3!

Only three participants this week, so they all won! Yay!



Week Three's judge was Tinsley Warren, and she had lovely words about each entry:

Thank you everyone for flashing me! And thank you, Q, for allowing me to do this! All the flashes were awesome and you guys all won!! *throws confetti*
Congrats to @lolosofocused on first place!

@lakermom37: I really liked how you set the scene so well. I felt like I was there with how you described the telegraph wires. Hoping she receives good news!

@lolosofocused: I really liked how she was doing that for herself. She came off as so powerful and strong. She wanted to help and she wanted to do something other than worry. I think he would be proud of her too!

@darcysmom: I loved the end! I wasn't expecting to rank higher than her brother and was totally fist pumping when I read that line!


Thanks again to all participants! We'll see you next Monday with the winner from the second challenge, @lakermom37, judging!

Stay sexy!

xoxo

Results of Retro Wonder Flash Fic #2

Thank you so much for the amazing flashes. I'm loving these wonderously retro words. THANK YOU! 

Here's what Andrea has to say:


All of these stories are wonderful and made me feel so much, it's such a hard decision for me to pick a winner. 

@thewolfswriting - so sad because this is reality for some but so touching
@tinsleywarren - Had me in tears, I could feel all the emotions she was feeling
@bebeginja - such a great mystery, I didn't think it was possible for a flash 
@lakersmom37 - I felt like I was at the train station waiting for him, absolutely love the last line
@darcysmom - so much emotion in just 100 words that that's true talent 
@kare831 - I love that this is their reunion story from their daughters point of view 


Thank you everyone for coming out to flash me, you are all great writers and I'll be searching to read more from you guys. 


As hard as it was for me to make a choice congratulations to @lakersmom37

Retro Wonder Flash Fic Premier Weekend #1 Results

Thank you so much to the three lovely ladies we had enter the contest. We really hope to see you enter the one tomorrow as well. 

Here's what darcysmom had to say: 


I had a great time choosing the prompts and judging the first Retro Wonder Flash Fiction Contest!
We got three outstanding entries. I am in awe of the creativity and talent displayed by these ladies. I loved how varied the stories were - reaching for change, unrequited love, and love in the moment.
I never thought it would be so difficult to choose a winning story. After countless re-reads and gnashing of my teeth, I came to a decision.
Congratulations Tinsley Warren!
sulliedsoles and lolosofocused you are both tremendously talented and made my job as judge incredibly difficult!
Thank you so much for flashing me!


A note from Madi:

Ladies, thank you all so much for making this a fun little Retro Wonder Flash premier. I really appreciate your love and support. 

xoxo

Next week's judge will be Tinsley!
