It's fun to have a Top 4 tag, but it's also natural to be nervous. I think I was in California at Disneyland with my son last year when the voting closed and the official results finally came out (though by that point it was pretty obvious from user comments that Christine was gonna be the winnah). The final voting last year was kind of an anticlimax, but it'll be interesting to see if there is as much of a clear-cut favorite this year. Either way, that moment when you're hanging on the cusp of seeing how folks like it... that's stomach-churning time fo sho.
But hey, win or lose, it's great all the way. My hope last year was to make it through every round and take my shot in the final. I did. And this year, so did you and the other 3 finalists. You get to the end, you gotta shot, so take your best shot and enjoy the ride, butterflies and all!

I cant wait for them to be public and see what everyone has to say. In my view, there were 2 of the 4 that I thought were the best of the 4 that I recommended for consideration as winners and I recommended one of those two as the overall winner. I cant wait to see what the voters decide. I think everyone should be really proud of thier work this year.
The 4 final submissions this year were in some ways improvements over last year. Last year we had a couple that were just way out of control and were not possible in a 32 page module. This year we didnt really have that issue, which is great because it means we can judge the submissions on the merit of their content without worrying about external factors such as does it fit in a 32 page module (now, that said, one submission was pushing it, but not enough to make me say "this isnt doable at all").
I also commented on body of work. How much the voters take that into account is up to them.
You all should be very proud of yourselves. There are some great submissions here. In fact, I think last rounds' lairs and this rounds adventure proposals have been really amazing.
Good work and best of luck!
