*Huffs on the dusty and cobwebbed glass, peering inside timidly*
What is IN there? He shuffles over to the door and raises his hand to knock...but the door creaks open ominously as if of its own volition!
He steels himself and puts one toe forward cautiously. He eventually enters in and shakily, almost whisperingly, says "Hello?"
Congrats ya'all.
and good luck!

First, Christopher Wasko fights me for the "spirit of wood that's been harvested and used as building material" design space, and now Nick Wasko is encroaching on my "Banshee's whatever" territory?
Am... am I a Wasko separated at birth?

Um, are alternates allowed in here?
Ummm. Hi?
Well guess this is going to get interesting fast... I see some familiar faces from Flying Pincushion games and a couple of folk I work shopped around with the past couple years. Guess hard work pays off.

My stomach won't settle down, but I don't know if it's because I'm an alternate or because I chugged really cheap cream of tomato soup for lunch. Probably both.
Congratulations, everyone! I think I need to go for a walk now. Or maybe just lie down...

Well, I'm in here now. I... I guess it's time to tidy up that map I was working on, off again and on again.
Good luck fellow contestants. I am anxious to compete with you some more.

It's a fantasy RPG; anything is possible!
Aaaaaaa I'm so excited to see the old hands getting on the stage and all the new faces stepping up too!

I'll skip the reviews for top 36 given the situation... But Congrats to the lot of you/us. I'm not surprised to see the items that made it good job!
Congrats, everyone. Really excited to see a lot of familiar faces (and several I recognize from Villain Codex II pitches!) and looking forward to getting to know the new folks as well.

Congratulations everybody! Give yourselves a pat on the back, and take a deep breath....
Before you realize you're on the lift hill, and the chain is clicking up, up, up, up.... don't look down, and get ready for a big ride!
Good luck in the next round!

Well, this is just awesome. Now if only I knew how to draw...

I know the feeling.
Congrats to me fellow top 32s and alternates! This is going to be a tough, and wondrous season (well, they have all been great imo).
I'm still reeling. Seriously, thank you for the hearty welcome.
I will NOT disappoint in the next round.
Congrats everyone!
Hip hip huzzah!!! Good job, you rock stars. I grinned to see so many of the items that I had consistently upvoted take their place in the top 32.
Make the most of this chance, and have fun.
I know we're supposed to stay quiet about our future round submissions, but are we allowed to talk about our open call items/other people's open call items in their respective threads?
*stumbles in, blinking in shock*
*looks around at all the old hands and immediately takes a deep breath and gathers himself*
I honestly didn't expect to make the Top 32. Insane! And wonderful and terrifying both. Congrats to everybody else who made it, and best of luck!

Wow. Thanks everyone who voted for me. Now I have rather a lot of work to do.

Yep, should be fine to talk about the round that's done. But a word of advice: be cautious with your tone where other people's items are concerned. Everybody's watching....
I'm keeping quiet on others' stuff until after the competition. Just to stay safe.
Maybe that would be prudent, but I've already posted a few things. Oh well, I'll stop for now!

Me too. I'm stuck at work and got a little overexcited.

Wait a second, were you implying that I might be petty? :P

*drags over a love seat to replace his somewhat aging armachair*
And especial welcome to Kalyna who adds us to the dynasty of Marlowes, Keloggs and other familial units with multiple Superstar contestants.

Lol, I actually had written another sentence in that post to the effect that "not that I think you have a particular problem in this area...", but I deleted it as long-winded and unnecessary. Though you made your avatar, you tell me! ;-)

Yep. Someone might think that your "honest critique" is just an attempt to undermine another contestant's work. So, I recommend against commenting on other people's entries as long as you're still in the running.

Congrats once more. I look forward to seeing what everyone does.
In the meantime and as long as we are hanging out in this haunted house, may I interest you in some lady fingers? They came from my wife. They are delicious.

HOW DO ANY OF YOU HAVE TIME TO POST IN HERE OH GOD I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE WORK DONE ON THE MAP BEFORE NOW NOOO NO NO WHYYYY

haha procrastination my friend
I think I've acquired a dozen more gray hairs in the past hour, ever since I realized that, yes, I really do have to finish a map by Thursday.
And that I have a test tomorrow in Computer Science.
And an art project due tomorrow.
And and and...did that rocking chair just start moving on its own?!
Focus on your maps, everyone. It's easy to get distracted by all the praise rightfully coming your way, but that's the last thing you want to do.
But once you've submitted (or if you're taking a break so you can look at it with clear eyes and/or waiting for feedback), come back and introduce yourselves. Some of you we know, but others are new to the Top 32 and we'd like to know what you've done in the past and anything else you want to share.

It would seem that the Waskos and the Kelloggs are well represented in here. The Marlowe dynasty is working on it's next generation, you guys better get a move on or we'll be in the lead ;-)
eta: Wait?! We have the Conrad-Hindleys now too? AWESOME!

You don't! You need to turn this box off and go map. This is a place for you to enjoy next year.
I believe alternates were supposed to be in the attic, so...

Congratulations to all the newly true named and the returning Toppers from years past. Today is exciting, tomorrow you work! :-)
I live in GMT +1 (+1 more for summertime), which means I'm 9 hours ahead... Does that mean no exciting for me, just work? :(

Or give up sleep. You might as well go with the sleep deprivation thing anyway, it's just a matter of time these next two months.
I'm home now and eating dinner. Then the map.
But I'd like to share this clip. This is how I feel right now, and how everyone should feel.
