As for the *ahem* 'hardest' story to read, I'm going to say the first story in the Final episode (yet to come). Just because I've been editing that and it was very hard to get the tone right through its various twists and turns. There may been others which I've repressed 😂

Your memory of that story is very different to mine! 😂 But in the end it did make it slightly fairer as you were reading the vast majority of stories.

Well, you're in luck, because we've decided we can't wait either! The first episode will be dropping tomorrow.

You can't tear me away from the FLESH Fiction editing desk at the moment. These stories are so HOT. 🥵

At this rate, we are on track to drop TWO category episodes next week. 🫦

Thank you 😊

Congratulations, Elise! You did so well 😊

Well done, Claire!

I'm alive, but locked in the dungeon until editing is done 😂

Well done to this story with a single-word title. You are my first Favourite.

Initially we will be reading our own team's stories, but not exclusively, and there will be some overlap especially as we move towards a longlist. We always want to make sure we have at least two eyes on every story.

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.

Thank you, Sarah!

Thank you!

Thanks Athena!

Thank you, Holly! ❤️

Thanks Trevor!

Thank you 😁

I am still recovering from another epic recording session + birthday fun, but the reading will start very soon 😁

Well done, Elise (I will forgive you... this time 😆)

Woohoo! Excited to read your story 🙂

Hell yeah! Welcome aboard, Jenny!

Absolutely! I even posted on X! 🤮

Haha, just choose the prompts that speak to you. There is no right or wrong answer. And if all else fails, flip a coin!

I'm so excited! A massive welcome to anyone who joins my team (A.K.A. the best team). Can't wait to read your stories!

I know who I'd choose! 🤔

Well done, Michael! Loved your story.
