HOORAY!! I ended up as #14! Thanks to everyone who voted!! :D [ETA: Actually in the final vote I ended up as #11!]
Now the Top 20 go to Neil Gaiman and 2 judges from HarperCollins, and one is chosen to win the Final Prize. I may or may not win, but I am sooo glad I have the chance to be considered, no matter what happens. :)
Here are my retrospective thoughts on the contest, in case anyone's interested:
