(1) You didn't submit hardcopies of your work; and (2) the stories were a bit too long for the workshop. If these are true, then it's something to think about for next year. And I do hope you try again next year. It's actually a lot of fun. Hi, Lauren: I spoke with the secretary and it turns out you didn’t get in based on two technicalities.

I applied last year, too, and didn't get in. I almost didn't apply this year, but it was a good thing I changed my mind. For what it's worth, I am a Dumaguete resident. Yes, I did get the same sucky treatment last year. Personally, I think you write very well. It just so happens that you sometimes have to appeal to very subjective tastes, whether its workshop qualification or writing contests. See http://villageidiotsavant.blogspot.com/2005/05/literary-scorecard-zero.html for more info, specifically Sean's (http://lengthofwords.blogspot.com) comment. If you're ever in Dumaguete, workshop or otherwise, let me know. Lots of things to see and do there. P.S. The X-23 action figure looks uncannily like you. Hey, Laura,
