Significus — I like that — we might have to use it, some time!

Thanks for the update! I’ll be making my BBQ ablutions to Significus, too!

Looks like it’ll be another weekend of praying to Significus…the God of Made Up Stories Based On Assorted Bric-a-Brac.

Sorry to keep you on tenterhooks, but it looks like we’ll announce the 11 runners-up next week, when we announce the contest winner. And it doesn’t look like any of this will happen on Monday; we’re aiming for Tuesday. Also: No, we haven’t notified the 12 finalists. They’ll find out at the same time the rest of the object-story-loving world does. And finally: We do like the idea of publishing some runners-up, but no promises. Have a good weekend, thanks so much for all the stories!!

Tremendous amount of talent swimming around out here, treading water for the next 72+ hours, it seems, with sharks to the left and sharks to the right….

Gah! I keep waiting for the winner to be announced! That is exciting though, to have so many entries. Will you be announcing the top 12 entries at some point? Or notifying the top 12?
(just curious, I did enter the contest.)

If they are that good, maybe you could publish a couple of the runners-up as well, like with the cartoon ones.

Who are the twelve finalists??? At least give us that!

So is there a chance that you’ll let us know who the finalists are? I just need to know if I’m going to spend the weekend in the cold sweat of anticipation.

I’m embarrassed to even ask this, as it’s so transparently hopeful, but would the 12 finalists know who they are by now?
