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.

@OfficialTEGSA 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.

@OfficialTEGSA omg, you’re a hero. I cannot imagine doing all that and not burn out. Take care of yourself, take your time, have a good day

To all TEGSA participants:
I appreciate your patience as I review each story.
To give you some background on my system:
1. I read each story at least twice, once straight through, the second with votes, and I take notes.
2. I'll write a review for you to add to an awards chapter, along with your sticker, if you want to.
3. A critique is written for when the winners are announced
At this time, I'm only partway through, due to real-life issues. I will need to extend this for another month to do it properly. Last year, the hubby picked up the slack so I could focus on nothing but TEGSA, but since his passing earlier this year, finding the time to sit and focus without interruption is a bit harder to do.
I plan to post the winners before Halloween.
Thank you all for joining this little indie contest. I'm honored that you took the time to write for me. I only hope I do you all justice with the critiques.
Don't forget to tag me in any comments, as I am not checking this account regularly now.

@OfficialTEGSA Don't worry take your time! The most important thing is your life outside the platform. Please don't feel guilty! We are all cheering for you ;)

@OfficialTEGSA My sincere condolences - been there. And admiration for your courage. The fun in TEGSA was taking part. Thank you.

@000anamika000 -- If you are writing, I will read it. Even if you're in non-compete, please still write. The more I have to judge, the better the critique will be.
