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