The window is open from 8 am to 5 pm EDT. If you run into any technical difficulties, please post below.
IMPORTANT: If your formatting looks wonky or a part of your text appears to be missing after you've already paid, DO NOT RE-ENTER THE CONTEST. You will be charged a second time, and I am not offering refunds (simply because it's an administrative nightmare). Simply SEND ME AN EMAIL with your ENTRY/POST NUMBER in the subject line, and include your full/corrected submission in the body of the email, IN PLAIN TEXT.
Again -- DO NOT TRY TO RE-ENTER THE SAME MATERIAL! I don't want you to double pay.
Good luck, everyone!
Did the contest open at 8am or did it open at 5am? Not that it matters much now, but I was just curious :)
ReplyDeleteIt opened at 8 am EDT. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Authoress, my first 250 words is missing from the preview after I hit the "submit" button. I've made my payment. To which e-mail shall I send the correction?
ReplyDeleteAnd how do I indicate italics in plain text? Thanks.
Authoress, it's me again.
ReplyDeleteI've figured where to email you. I hope I get a confirmation that everything will be fixed now. Thanks.
Hi Authoress, I plan to submit next week. If I've never commented before, would I just "make up" a screenname and then use it to comment on posts when the entries are published?
ReplyDeleteP.S. I know... Once I post this question, asking becomes a little bit silly :-). But others might be wondering too.
Better to ask a question now than to risk looking silly later because you DIDN'T ask! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, just make up a screenname. That's all you have to do!
Hi Authoress,
ReplyDeleteDo we receive our entry/post number info through email? After I submitted and paid, the only message on the website was that I was that I was all set and should look for my post in the contest. I was emailed confirmation of payment from paypal. Is that all I'm supposed to receive, or was there supposed to be an entry/post number confirmation?
Thanks!
You should have received an email containing your post/entry number. Check your spam box.
ReplyDelete(If it's not there, don't worry; the Paypal confirmation means that your payment went through and your entry is now in the database.)
Thank you!
