Well done to this story with a single-word title. You are my first Favourite.
#NQWP268074
First story read, and it's an easy Yes for the Longlist. Great title, excellent use of the prompts, especially the Kicker. I'm hoping this is a taste of things to come.

Do it.
Give in to temptation.

We all know the dark side is way more exciting!
My final #NotQuiteWritePrize stats for this round of judging:
Favourite: 2
Yes: 6
Maybe+: 25
Maybe: 72
Maybe-: 43
No/DQ: 24
Now, we are getting to the pointy end of the stick! Time to pick the longlist!
#NotQuiteWritePrize Story #693719 is Favourite number 2. This one is all about voice and prose, filled with wonderfully original and evocative turns of phrase.
#NotQuiteWritePrize Congratulations, lucky (and very talented) author of #571677! You are my very first outright favourite this round. Masterful use of close third and single effect, well done.
#NotQuiteWritePrize story #560484 with a VERY attention-grabbing title. Will the story deliver?
Someone sneakily snuck a FLESH fiction entry into the #NotQuiteWritePrize (and I'm totally fine with it)
Whoops, forgot the story number: 924527 (for @AKScotland & @deankoorey's reading pleasure.
Entry 762677- A very uncomfortable response to the burning prompt. It's a yes from me!

It might be a sampling issue, but I feel that there is a definite uptick this round of characters named Ed and Amanda. While it does grab my attention, it also puts me slightly on edge. I think I still have PTSD after the infamous Johnson & Johnson incident!

One batch down: three maybe pluses and no yeses at this stage, but one very suspicious entry that's giving ChatGPT. I'm looking at you, Entry 973499 👀

Entry 3144 - Only three stories in and already found a creative interpretation of 'passive voice' that never even occurred to me! @NotQuiteWritePrize
It's finally time for me to blow the dust off my social media accounts and join @AKScotland in the vague tweeting fun! Can't wait to get stuck into the judging.
I seem to be handing out a lot of "maybe pluses" this round, which speaks to the overall high quality. But that means it's going to be a real battle for the longlist. 2 favourites so far! #notquitewriteprize
After a week of sporadic reading, I am finally able to devote an entire day to judging your #notquitewriteprize entries. One batch in and I'm already seeing some very creative takes on the anti-prompt. This was really a tough one!
