Snoop and I are taking a break. Snoop already went hiking but now he wants to wear mudboots and a fly-fishing vest. He's hung up the Gone Fishing sign and set out for a river somewhere. Meanwhile, I will be hunkering down to meet some deadlines.
This means I will not be accepting free-tique redemptions, Why, why, whys, or emails which require my immediate response. No free-tique round this week either.
I get a brand new one! The screen is twice as big which means I'll be able to write twice as fast.
Whoowee!

Hey, what about me? My Apple IIe sucks.
Snoop read the remaining standby submissions and noted where he decided to stop reading. When two contestants surpassed the highest pages, he marked them as winners for the two reserved slots available.
These slots expire at the end of September. If you can't remember what a reserved slot was, it is a three-chapter look at your manuscript. The first chapter will be line-commented and the rest will be read for perspective.

WE HAVE A FULL-TIQUE WINNER. Snoop is so happy he has literally taken off for the heavens in a permanent state of green-ness (as indicated by the picture. He's not dead, guys. He's just floating, okay?)
The winner is entrant #23. You made it at 19 pages. Congratulations!
Now that RLGL is over, entrants, feel free to out yourselves if you so wish. And pat #23 on the back.

YA-18, please go back to start. Snoop wants you to know he is crushed to have to do this. But he hopes you will view this as an accomplishment, not a defeat. Please do ask Snoop why. He hopes to hear from you.

No one goes back to start. But he also thinks one of the leaders will get sent back if the next page confirms his suspicions. So stay on top of things and good luck!
