I'm fairly irritated and a little let-down. I didn't get shortlisted or win 3rd, 2nd or 1st place in a writing competition.
Not only that, but I was not even contacted that I lost at all and had to contact someone who actually won in order to find out that I had lost (after sending out two unanswered emails to the sponsors of the competition). Basically, they left the ones who lost in the Dust, not knowing what happened with the competition.

That's what I Hate about competitions like that, you have 3 or 4 winners and 10,000 losers. If it makes you feel any better, I liked the story you entered (I'm assuming thats The One you posted in the "General Chat"?)

It sucks that you don't get announced on how you did.
Anyway, don't feel bad or give up, it's not like that was the only essay competition in the world. You just keep reading, learning and getting better and you'll get some recognition in time.

Um. This is a little embarassing but there were about two dozen entrants, not Ten thousand.
And if you're talking about the short story with the teenagers that run over a hitch hiker, yes, that was the story I submitted.

Thanks, and you're right, although I admit it was kind of a blow to find out about losing by asking one of the winners to find out for me, I can't give up. I guess part of it is about feeling sore about the hosts of the company not bothering to contact the people that lost (I checked their website and people I knew were all asking what the results of the competition were, completely unaware that they had already lost). Anyway, after learning I had lost my mind was like, swept blank from creative Ideas, which sucked.
...Then I went to bed and came up with two different short stories, which I'm now excited to write down. 0

Didn't end up getting to see Fleshgod Apocalypse live at summer Slaughter today... Might as well hang myself now that my life has no meaning

I wasn't able to go. My buddy just now texted me to tell me how awesome they were... I had to stay home and register for some lame ass community college
