briellebates.bsky.social @briellebates.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yeeessss! 💃 Thank you @deankoorey.bsky.social for including my story as an Honourable Mention in this month's longlist for #furiousfiction 2120
briellebates.bsky.social @briellebates.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Wishing you luck 🤞. Congratulations on making the final! 🥳 010
briellebates.bsky.social @briellebates.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I hear ya Trevor! I thought my R1 entry was the weakest and R3 my strongest, but scores reflected the exact opposite. 8.13 average for me this Twist, so all in all, happy with how the cookie crumbled 😊. Well done on your results, and the 6th place in R2! 🥳 010
