Wow! Thanks Chris, Elinor and co., and well done to everyone else selected. So excited to be included in the book. My appreciation to everyone who gave feedback on my story - I owe you all. It's been a great experience.

Well done and congratulations to the winners!
Howard Ellison (Monday, 12 February 2018 12:32)
Boo hoo! Almighty Dog's MEGA Plan bombed. Never mind, it did make the first shortlist, and as a newbie I learned a lot. A fantastically high bar was set. Congratulations all you deserving winners, and sympathy to the cohort of 'try harders'. Never give in!
KT Parker (Monday, 12 February 2018 12:34)
"... but she persisted."
Third-time lucky for me. Surprised but pleased.
Congratulations to everyone.
Kim L. Wheeler (Monday, 12 February 2018 12:35)
Fabulous news; thank you so much, Elinor, Chris and the team. So many awesome stories have made it through; the book is going to be amazing!

The Thunderclap went out and I am over the moon!

Absolutely over the moon to have made it into 'Singularity 50'! Thank you judges and thank you fellow writers.
Congratulations to my fellow winners! I spotted some of my favourite stories in the winners' list and there are a lot of stories I haven't read yet but am looking forward to.
Create 50 is a priceless source of honest, considered feedback. I have learnt so much from the process. A huge thank you to anyone who took the time to read my stories.

A huge congratulations to everyone, and thank you to the Singularity and Create50 team. Gutted to not be included in the final cut with so many stories I loved, but just have to live, learn, and keep reaching for the stars.

I'm grateful for having had the opportunity to participate in this Create 50 project/community and for all the helpful feedback other writers shared with me. Thank you to the Singularity50 team! Write on, all!
Chris (Thursday, 15 February 2018 12:29)
Congratulations to one and all! I am surprised that this story of mine was selected over my others, as it was just a bit of fun - hopefully it will just be put in as an epilogue or some such :)) Really pleased to see so many of the stories I enjoyed reading have been included. Congratulations again to my 49 comrades, and commiserations to those who were not selected: don't give up! Keep writing - success is just a pen-stroke away
Yvetta (Friday, 16 February 2018 09:14)
I am so happy to see that my story made it through. Still can't believe it and feel very honoured to see it among the gems I enjoyed reading.
