That takes me to the end of the Team Yang stories. Huge thanks to all who submitted for my team! There were some v strong contenders for longlist... and higher. 👀 Final count: One Favourite, 4 Yeses and 17 Maybe Pluses. Can't wait to dive in and see what Team Yin brought to the table!

My first Favourite (NQWP#4889), followed immediately by my fourth Yes (NQWP#5017). Both feature some wonderful lines, with the first having a particularly memorable take on the kicker.

Two significant Yeses in a row: NQWP#4943 for receiving an outright Y and an outright N from two different judges (quite rare). NQWP#4979 for evoking a particularly memorable 'Dishonourable Mention' of rounds past 👀 (this one was unanimous).

It seems that many of you have interpreted Yang energy to mean 'weird and disturbing af'... and I am here for it! Case in point: NQWP#4812, which leaves me at a loss for words.

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

NQWP#5032 is an evocative story dripping with Yang energy, and my first 'Yes' for the longlist.

To the author of NQWP#5009: What the actual F? (But in a good way).

1210

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

NQWP#4735 with a genuinely disturbing twist, and my first Maybe +

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Let the tweets begin! (Better late than never). First cab off the rank is clearly from around here, with some tantalising local references 👀 NQWP#4839

Some Ed & Amanda fan fic has snuck its way into my team's stories. Will it earn a Dishonourable Mention (or more)? NQWP#902145

I'm approaching the halfway mark of reading my team's stories. As always, I'm amazed by the diversity of responses to the prompts. There are a ton of strong contenders for the longlist, but alas, no stand-out 'Favourites' as yet, so I have high hopes for the second half!

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 03/05/2026

Seems several of you are hoping to stand out with some VERY provocative titles this round (NQWP#442435 & #530080, I'm looking at you) 👀

You can't tear me away from the FLESH Fiction editing desk at the moment. These stories are so HOT. 🥵 At this rate, we are on track to drop TWO category episodes next week. 🫦

Well done to this story with a single-word title. You are my first Favourite. #NQWP268074

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

First story read, and it's an easy Yes for the Longlist. Great title, excellent use of the prompts, especially the Kicker. I'm hoping this is a taste of things to come. #NQWP107612

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

I'm so excited! A massive welcome to anyone who joins my team (A.K.A. the best team). Can't wait to read your stories!

My final #NotQuiteWritePrize stats for this round of judging: Favourite: 2 Yes: 6 Maybe+: 25 Maybe: 72 Maybe-: 43 No/DQ: 24 Now, we are getting to the pointy end of the stick! Time to pick the longlist!

2120

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 09/11/2025

#NotQuiteWritePrize Story #693719 is Favourite number 2. This one is all about voice and prose, filled with wonderfully original and evocative turns of phrase.

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

#NotQuiteWritePrize Congratulations, lucky (and very talented) author of #571677! You are my very first outright favourite this round. Masterful use of close third and single effect, well done.

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

#NotQuiteWritePrize story #560484 with a VERY attention-grabbing title. Will the story deliver?

170

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Speaking of sexy things... To the author of story #523186, I sincerely apologise for reading a COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE meaning into the title of your story! It was, in fact, deeply heartfelt and emotional (and I need to get my mind out of the gutter).

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

Someone sneakily snuck a FLESH fiction entry into the #NotQuiteWritePrize (and I'm totally fine with it)

180

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Entry 762677- A very uncomfortable response to the burning prompt. It's a yes from me! #NotQuiteWritePrize

0120

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

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! #NotQuiteWritePrize

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

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

1110

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

Entry 3144 - Only three stories in and already found a creative interpretation of 'passive voice' that never even occurred to me! @NotQuiteWritePrize

1150

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

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.

We need 5 more attendees to make this viable, so please jump on board. If you can't make it, please consider sharing the original post with anyone who's interested in dipping a toe into the world/cult of flash fiction!

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

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

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!

0120

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

My final stats at the end of the first round of judging: Favourite: 4 Yes: 13 Maybe+: 46 With the remaining being maybe or lower. Let the games begin! #NotQuiteWritePrize

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

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 🥊🥊🥊 #NotQuiteWritePrize

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Results after the first 3 batches (including one small batch): Yes 2 Maybe+ 12 Maybe 20 Maybe- 9 No 2 So far there are a lot of stories on the cusp of the long list, but only a few elevating above the pack! #NotQuiteWritePrize

1181

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

The batch that began with dismemberment... ends with diarrhoea! 😂 #NotQuiteWritePrize

1150

quitewriteed.bsky.social @quitewriteed.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

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? #NotQuiteWritePrize
