YAY! So, they're deciding by the end of next week, which is Friday? Cause of the holiday?
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Wow, that's an excellent report, Kristen. I think you'd have to be considered a frontrunner after that kind of interview. Fun interviews usually mean connections were made. Also, the kind of things they loved about your script are very telling. (Back me up on this Scrappy.)
Congratulations and well done!

That's what they thought, Kat. So it's either gonna be a very merry christmas or a really depressing one.
Thanks, Hec! And, yes, I made a point of thanking everyone (even the assistants) all at the end of the interview. Because, regardless of the outcome, the whole experience has been wonderful and I truly appreciate every compliment they paid me.
It's all so cool!

First, congrats because it sounds like it went well. Second, I second David's idea about good connections being made. Committee decisions are notoriously wonky because the uniqueness that causes a strong positive reaction can just as easily turn off someone else and committees by definition need to accommodate all the reactions somehow, & one way of doing that is gravitating toward the mean and staying away from the margins, even if that means not going for something half of the committe thought dusted everything else. BUT it's not all about Disney. If you get it fantabulous; if not you've still met and impressed rainmakers and/or those who have the ears of rainmakers so something great will result. Ergo it will be a GREAT Xmas either way. QED.
Congrats again & sorry 'bout the longwindedness.

Thanks Perkins!
And thanks, joe! Someone did make a comment during the meeting that seemed somewhat promising, regardless of the fellowship outcome. So if this door closes, I'll just find another one to open.
I won't lie. If I don't win this, I am totally going to cry my little eyes out. But then I'll get over it and go back to working on my next spec.
I think it's gonna be dark.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think it's gonna be dark.Also good.

YAY KRISTEN! Worth shouting again. I am hoping for the best outcome for you.

Thanks! Thanks!
I am totally abusing exclamation points but I don't care! I'm so incredibly relieved that it's all over. There's nothing more I can do at this point but wait. It is what it is.
And now I am off to celebrate with cheesy goodness!
