Do we have any idea what time tomorrow the results will be going out? Can we rely on the traditional Paradox lateness?

On a scale of 1 to hype, I am so hype.

With any luck, Tomas will have mercy on us and announce the results at midnight on Sweden time.

I'm really nervous but I went back and read my story and I thought I could have done so much better. T.T Hopeful...but not expecting anything.

That's how it always is. Even when you're wildly successful. See: Gaiman's First Law. There's always a sentence you could phrase differently, a more evocative verb you could use, or an unnecessarily redundant adverb you could nuke from orbit. Revision's healthy and all, but you have to avoid falling into the black hole of endless revisions. Or just eating at yourself over what you could've done differently, if revisions aren't an option.

... it would be wonderful if I could somehow take my own advice, though.

Tomas is taking a lot of chances on this, considering he is dealing with the most deceitful and murderous group of people since pretty much the Macedonians.

The longer you take, the more plot power someone gets.
