And so day three begins.

Saddle on up to the bar and tell Anya what you would like today.

It's noon where I am. Heck, it's always noon somewhere!  naughty

WhiteGardenia's spreadsheet is amazing - colour coded and everything!


Thanks Allegretta.  Too bad my query and first 250 is not so amazing.   Waaaaaaaah!  sad

Hi all,

Just found this thread. I'm a QTer in the contest, too. Women's fiction. Entry #61. Like many of the other adult entries, it's gotten no love in the agent round. There's still tomorrow, and here's hoping... but I've been forcing myself to send out at least a query a day this week to keep from going nuts with all this arrow stuff.

Welcome in! First drink's on me. Drunken Duet

Looks like the agents have been quiet today. Tomorrow's gonna be interesting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the QTers (almost spelled cutiers).

Well, since we're on the cusp of thursday, which will probably be insane tomorrow -- I thought I'd take a look at what our standings were and who has been active and requesting what. WhiteGardenia's spreadsheet made this SO much easier. Thanks hun!

Edited As Per Cupid's Post Below!
Honorary Cupid Just Desserts      55   63
Honorary Cupid Sugar Pants      14   48   57
Honorary Cupid Tainted Love      59
Honorary Cupid Plum Charming      7   36   50   55   63
Honorary Cupid Agent Amour      4   18   30
Honorary Cupid Ryan Gosling      3   22   43   59
Honorary Cupid The Mock Turtle      7   29   40   58
Honorary Cupid Care Bear         2   14   22   45   48   53   56
Honorary Cupid Waffle Fries      4   8
Honorary Cupid Red Razzle-Dazzle    45   50   56   58
Honorary Cupid Nausicaä         6   28
Honorary Cupid Agent Angel Flair

So by my math (and this is keeping Kimmy's in the running since hers didn't say the arrow was given back to the agent) is as follows. Granted, I could be wrong. Always possible. :D Also? Didn't look like there were any requests went out today, but if there were, I'll adjust accordingly.

Honorary Cupid Just Desserts      2 arrows used; 8 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Sugar Pants      3 arrows used; 7 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Tainted Love      1 arrow used; 9 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Plum Charming      5 arrows used; 5 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Agent Amour      3 arrows used; 7 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Ryan Gosling      4 arrows used; 6 arrows left
Honorary Cupid The Mock Turtle      4 arrows used; 6 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Care Bear         8 arrows used; 2 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Waffle Fries      2 arrows used; 8 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Red Razzle-Dazzle    4 arrows used; 6 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Nausicaä         2 arrows used; 8 arrows left
Honorary Cupid Agent Angel Flair   0 arrows used; 10 arrows left

Well, I'm sure you can do all the math. Quite a few of the agents were playing tricksy with what was left for requesting. Remember -- fuels are worth 3, partials are worth 2 at this point. *wibble* Good luck my fellow QTers!

Dang, Anya. That's impressive work!

I'm anxious to see who takes out those partial requests since a few of the entries have at least 2 agents requesting partials. Tomorrow might be a blood bath....er....

Drink please.  Violin

Well, I know I was curious as to what all was left on the table. And figured you guys were too. This is all part of the service at Anya's House of Drinks!

Next hour, drinks are on the house! Get 'em while they're hot!

Am I understanding this right? 

Looking at the remaining arrows for each agent, with a minimum of 3 arrows for a full, I count 25 possible full requests.

Assuming agents will most likely be interested in the entries already with partial requests, can we assume the fulls will be requested from those indicated already with partials, with no surprises? 

Anyone agree/disagree?

I disagree. I think there will be some surprises. The agents who requested partials probably have other entries in mind that they're saving for tomorrow, so that they can request fulls. 12pm should be exciting!

Could I get a drink, too? Something pink in a fancy glass with sugar on the rim?

Love this.

I believe Care Bear has only 2 arrows left. And she did use some arrows today.

And Sugar Pants gets her arrow back after TRIANGLES was withdrawn.

Not sure if Angel Flair is asleep or strategizing.  Smiley

Should be good. And expect more excitement after it ends, too........
