    RLGL: We Love Libraries, Round 2 Results! New Racers may enter at any time.



    Snoop says, “RED LIGHT!” Snoop has examined everyone’s work that was submitted prior to last night’s deadline. New racers, you will receive entry numbers when Snoop reviews all entries for the next round. YOU DO *NOT* HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE YOUR ENTRY NUMBER TO SUBMIT YOUR FIRST HALF-PAGE. Just send it in along with your registration.

    The following racers interested Snoop enough to see where your work is headed. Now that you have an entry number, please include that in the subject line of your email along with page no., book type, and MS title. (i.e. #14. p.2, MG, NO BUNNY’S BUSINESS).

    #33*, #34*, #35*,  #41*, #50*, #52*, #53*, #55*, #63* – Due to a stupid email glitch, these entry numbers may not have gone out to the contestants in time to make last night’s deadline. If your number is listed here, please send in your next TWO full pages. If you did not receive a number AT ALL and you made the deadline, please let Snoop know at snoop AT cynthealiu DOT com and send in your next two pages as well.  Apologies for the technical difficulties!

    The following racers should submit Page 3 of their ms.

    #30-YA, 43-MG,  #51-YA, #54-CB, #57-MG, #58-PB,  #67-MG,  #69-YA, #74-PB, #75-MG, #76-MG, #78-YA, #79-MG, #82-PB, #83-YA, #84-PB, #86-MG, #87-MG, #88-MG, #92-MG, #98-YA

    The following racers must return to the starting line. Snoop says, “Not right for me.” You may submit the first half-page of a new work and begin again. Remember: anything can happen to those who are ahead of you!
