Happy New Year! 
          
          All reviews and critiques for TEGSA 2025 are posted in their chapters and the winners are announced. 
          
          I'm going to give everyone a full day to check it out before announcing anything here. After that, I will give each of our winners one shout-out per day. 
          
          If you don't have time to check, just watch your notifications. 
          
          Don't forget to follow for next year if you're interested in joining. I will be making a few small changes as this contest doubled in size from last year, and I have no intention of ever letting it take this long again in the future.

Update! 
          
          Well, it's New Year's Eve here on the east coast of the United States, and I've been busy for the past week. 
          
          For those involved in TEGSA, the winners will be announced before midnight tonight. Your stickers will be posted after, since I didn't give our lovely graphic artist (sugararmy07) the list until today. 
          
          Keep an eye on your chapters for your critiques.

          A sincere thank you for your generous and concise review. If anyone should win something, it should be you, not many can boast a dedication to a project like yours and pull it off as you have.
          Thank you again, and give yourself a well deserved pat on the back.

@lyttlejoe -- Thank you. There are so many great stories. I'm honestly so humbled to have such amazing writers joining.

Update: 
          
          My Google Doc has topped 20k words, and most of it is still in my notes format. I still need to reread most of the stories, double-check my notes and leave votes and comments. 
          
          After you receive the second read, I am posting your review and critique in your chapter, with no scores. The decision to do it this way was simple: while I have the upmost respect and love for Ravendipity, I do not wish to follow her lead and put out a 20-30k chapter of results. 
          
          The results chapter will be scores and winners only. 
          
          While I have always thought my time management skills were in the normal range, I now realize several things: 
          *I had help with normal domestic things last year.
          *I had given much smaller reviews last year that I now cringe at.
          *I did not have my Amb duties (including leading a profile) last year. 
          *I was not writing while judging. 
          *I had half the amount of participants. 
          
          For now, I ask that you keep an eye on your chapters and watch for your reviews/critiques to be posted. I was not tagging originally, but will start doing that. 
          
          Once I'm closer to the ending, I will give a heads-up before the winners are announced. 
          
          Thank you for your patience.
