@worldfaerysociety I’ve sent you a private message as my question is a little too long to post here. I just wanted to let you know so my message isn’t missed. I’d really appreciate it if you could get back to me. Thanks!

Congrats to all who made the final cut! Alas, mine was not included, but it was an honour to take part in this investigation. I can't wait to see the book when it comes out!

Pinching myself because I'm still in shock at being included in the finalists! Incredibly honoured and thrilled to be part of the project and to have met so many incredible writers along the way!
It's been a magical journey; thank you for taking all of us on a wonderful adventure!

@KellyGe Sorry to hear that. I hope it wasn't a scam, all of the hard work put into the entries deserved to be made into an anthology :( Hope I'm wrong, hope you hear from them soon :)
KellyGe
@MBKZakanj Hi, Thank you! Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything (nor have the other finalists I believe)!

@KellyGe Congrats! Is the book still in talks tho? I thought it was to be released in 2018? It's almost 2019.

Thanks for hosting the contest. I didn't get shortlisted, but I had fun during the investigation; it also introduced me to the world of writing contests. Thanks again, it was really fun.

@StarryeyedStephy No worries, you'll do better next time. That's the fun of writing, isn't it? The more you do it, the better you get. It's as they say: "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey."

Thank you @worldfaerysociety for choosing my story as one of the Winners. I'm so excited to see it published with tiny owl work shop.
WorldFaerySociety
@AshlynnCrow You're very welcome and once again, congratulations! We are just as excited for your story and the other finalists' story to be published in the Westbury Faery anthology book by Tiny Owl Workshop. Thanks for your many contributions to the Westbury Faery story. Best wishes, WFS!

@worldfaerysociety I have asked a while ago if I could turn one of my shortstories into a longer story. Since my stories are not among the winners am I allowed to do that? I will change the names of (Arthur and Willow Beck) if nesessary.
WorldFaerySociety
@HedgehogOptimist Hello! Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, you are more than welcome to do so, and yes, we do recommend changing the names so you can reach many more writers. Remember, investigations are ongoing, so don't forget you can always resume your investigation or start at any time by using the hashtag #westburyfaery. Thank you, WFS!

@johnkomarvel As @Malvika_Jha pointed out, we are entirely grateful to writers like yourself who had fun and contributed to the Westbury Faery story. Without you the Westbury Faery would still be an idea and not a real being. Everyone at the World Faery Society and Prof. Arthur Beck thanks and values you. All the best, WFS.
