I'll keep adding links to the finalists as they're posted on Substack. At the end of the contest, I expect that Scott will reveal whether he is the author of any of the finalists.

For context, Scott submitted two entries last year. One of them was a finalist and would have won first place in the contest, except that Scott decided it was in poor taste to win his own contest.
