What happened to Honorary Cupid Angel Flair? Didn't she fire her arrows?
ReplyDeleteMaybe what she wanted was grabbed up before she could get it?
DeleteWhere, oh where is Angel Flair...?
DeleteIt's ok, Ms. Barnes, you can come out of hiding and still strike. We are easy pickins!
Maybe she didn't see anything she liked.
DeleteNah, I just don't think she has gone shopping yet. There are really good entries in here. Only Cupid knows for sure...
DeleteGood luck to all who have already had requests and good luck to those who still might. :)
Perhaps now we know why Ms. Barnes was absent from the Cupid-fest. A new job. Sorry to see her leave the agenting field, but wish her all the best! :(
DeleteCongrats to everyone! This was super fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteGah! Apparently Blogger gets to decide how far apart the paragraphs are instead of me. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Cupid! This has been an amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun! Ever since my number was assigned, I have been so tempted to walk around saying "I am number four." :o) Thanks Cupid! Your hard work does not go unnnoticed!
ReplyDeleteOMG that is so funny! And I loved the movie!
DeleteCupid, this was so much fun. I especially loved the threads at QueryTracker and following who got what!
ReplyDeleteDitto Mr Briggs - this was awesome. Congrats to the winners! May this be the start of something beautiful for all of you. :)
ReplyDeleteA big thanks to Cupid for all her hard work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to everyone, and thanks to Cupid for all the hard work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cupid! And bouncers and agents! This was an amazing contest!
ReplyDeleteBig thanks to Cupid, the participating writers, bouncers, and, yes, even my fellow competitor agents. This was a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteThis might depend on the individual agent, but can partials be rounded up a page or two to round out a chapter/scene?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to speak on behalf of just about any agent: rounding up (or down) a page should be fine. We'd rather understand what's going on in a scene. Rounding up 10 pages, on the other hand... well, that's taking some liberties.
DeleteBut on page 111, that's when the story gets REALLY interesting! :)
Delete@Ara Hilarious! Yeah, I hear you...! And at page 200, and 300, so why not just upgrade the request to a full, huh? haha
Delete@White Gardenia: I knew someone would understand this thing I like to call logic :D
DeleteWell, ideally the story would get REALLY interesting on Page 1! :)
Delete@Anon, now that's something to consider...! Back to the drawing board.
DeleteThanks so much, Cupid! I had a great time and wish the best of luck to all the participants!
ReplyDeleteYay, congrats to all the winners! This was fun to watch!! :D
ReplyDeleteAh, the mysteries of love... I've been struck by somebody completely unexpected!
ReplyDeleteUnexpected love, is the best type. Congrats!
DeleteCongratulations to all the winners! Lots of excitement here this week:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cupid for a great and helpful contest. Even though I didn't make it past the bouncer round, I still learned a lot. That my entry was not selected and solicited few comments tells me my query and/or first page still need work. Good to know before querying. Enjoy a much deserved rest and extra time to do the writing job that actually pays the bills. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThanks to all of you, Cupid, Bouncers & Honorary Cupids, for your hard work...and entertainment. Dedicating the contest to Britta made it extra special in terms of overall atmosphere and goodwill. Hope she continues to thrive! Cupid, you are a real angel! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for keeping Britta in your thoughts! :)
DeleteCongrats to all the winners! And thank you Cupid, Bouncers, Agents for this awesome month. It was so helpful and fun (just like a football game ;) ) but for me, more like a Quidditch match, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks again!!!
Wow, so many request! Congrats to all of you! And kudos to Ms. Cupid for being so awesome!
ReplyDeleteCupid - Question for those of us who get the additional requests today. Do you want us to email you for instructions too?
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you again for this amazing contest!!
Congratulations to all the winners and kudos to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cupid!

ReplyDeleteThank you, Cupid!!! This has been a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners <3 Hopefully some will get representation out of the contest.
Thanks to Cupid, the Bouncers, and the Honorary Cupids! This contest was a blast and way more than I ever expected. :)
ReplyDeleteCupid, this has been so fun to watch (even not being in the contest). Thanks for hosting this, and thanks to all the Honorary Cupids! Loving this site already.
ReplyDeleteCupid, this was a lot of fun. Thank you for all your hard work. You did an exceptional job at keeping it fun and organized. And exciting! And as a mother of a child with serious heart defects, your move to help Baby Britta made me smile. It is a long, tough road (emotionally AND financially). So thank you for your kind gesture. And, man, oh man...this was was all kinds of nail-biting action. So much fun.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners! Thank you Cupid, Agents, & Bouncers! This was so much fun!
