It was basically a 50% chance, with almost 600 submissions and 300 books in the running.
I'm very excited. Of course, we will wait for the finalized list, and then we'll wait even longer for the reviews to trickle in. Eventually, each reviewer will list three favorites, and the final winner will be chosen from those 30 books.
I doubt South will be among those, but one can dream.
South Breaks being one of the SPFBO finalists would be an absolute dream coming true.
I just can't let myself believe it.
(I had one book in there before, Dragon Prey. The reviewer didn't like it much, but then, he admitted to not liking dragons. Needless to say, it didn't make it to round 2.)
@Firlefanz I've never entered, but I did the SPSFC two years ago and made it all the way to the semifinals, but I'm not sure how because every review I saw seemed negative. Regardless, I was pretty pleased about it. I'm rooting for you.
