#HLS2017 Round 4 Results Complete, Sudden Catch Deadline: Mon. Dec 4 @11:59PM CST

Hello Anglers,

After a bubbly debate, the judges were able to narrow down finalists in each category but it was impossible to agree upon a clear winner based upon 250 words and one line. Therefore, the crew has decided to put our finalists up for the ultimate challenge: Sudden Catch! If your entry was selected for this round, you must now submit the first 2500 words of your work (if novel) or your complete ms (if PB) before the deadline listed in the headline of this post. Please title your email subject: “Sudden Death: Entry #, Format, MS Title.” (E.g. “Sudden Death: #99, PB, If You Give a Fish a Frying Pan.)

For those of you who had entries with last lines but got the boot in this round, please know it was not because of the last line itself. In Round 4, judges began to weigh the total entry against other entries who were competing for the big one.The deckhands and skippers were sickened to see some strong entries let go. Be sure to review feedback on Twitter for further info on why it may not have made it through to Sudden Death.

For everyone else, we want to sincerely thank you for participating in the challenge and we hope you enjoyed the feedback fun on Twitter. Review past Round Results for notes on how entries were judged in each round. If you’re feeling down after reading your Round 4 results, please remember your free-tique oath. Watery opinions from three fish who can’t even type isn’t worth any heartache. Just keep on swimming and catch the big one, and if you haven’t already, sign-up for the free-tique email list to be notified of free-tique challenges on the horizon!

Happy Fishing, everyone! And stay tuned to see who will catch the big one next week!
