Our hats off to everyone who is on their way to completing their Open Novella! Once again we've had a delight seeing all of your submissions and getting to read these developing masterpieces.

If you smashed the 8k milestone using one of our provided prompts, consider yourself a winner already. That said, it was still necessary to select the most promising of the potentials, so below is a long list of writers whose stories were amongst our favourites. If your name is below, you've progressed the second round and are in for a shot at the grand prize!

If you don't see your name below, don't feel discouraged -- you're still entitled to a special silver once you've hit 8k words using one of our 24 prompts. (More on sticker rules later.)

So read on and give a hearty congratulations to any friends or notable names on the list. If you're included, don't forget to sing it from the rooftops!
