If Paypal flakes out on you, just keep trying. The Bot will hold your entry place until submissions close; you will not lose your spot in the meantime.
I made my submission this morning at the exact time everything opened up and I got my confirmation immediately… And then I realized I'd put YA instead of MG and tried to go back and correct it. Which is obviously a big no-no, and I've since been informed I was rejected. Have I ruined my submission chances?
I feel like I did something similar last year and got the digital boot as a result. By the time I found out, it was too late to change anything.
Garrett -- you only got a rejection because the bot cannot accept email responses--only entries. Send me an email to my facelesswords account with your entry number and CHANGE YA TO MG in the SUBJECT LINE. Then I will be able to change it once your entry comes through.
I am so disappointed! I had jut gotten up my nerve to submit, and read that submissions were open from 9 to 5. I work full time, and can only submit after work. Sadness!
Oh, well. I guess I will just send out a few queries by more conventional means. Good luck to everyone who did manage to enter.
I entered on Tuesday and all went well until I hit 'enter' on my keyboard after pasting in my 1st 250. But when I hit enter, it submitted for me before I had a chance to look through everything. I know I didn't add MG and don't know if I missed anything else.
Hey! Hope it's going swimmingly. If you haven't already gotten around to reading YA entry #67, I was wondering if I could send corrections--I submitted the wrong version of the first 250. If I can't, no problem! Just thought there's be no harm in asking. (I did read the old posts, btw and if I missed something related to this feel free to just ignore this comment! Thanks!)
Authoress,
ReplyDeleteMy PayPal receipt says I paid: "Wee Ditty." Just making sure this is correct. (No, I'm not nervous at all)!
LOL That's me! My anonymous Paypal account. :)
ReplyDeleteOops! Not so anonymous now. Please don't hold that against me, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe submission window won't let me paste

ReplyDeleteHi Authoress-
ReplyDeleteI'm worried and paranoid and annoyed with myself…

Thanks for your time - hoping for good news!

ReplyDeleteSend me an email with ROUND 1 and your entry number in the subject line, and your corrections in the body.
Entry number?!
ReplyDeleteI submitted Tuesday and my Paypal went through, but I don't recall having an entry number :0
Bonni, check your spam box for your confirmation email from the bot. It contains your entry number.
ReplyDeleteI received a Wee Ditty confirmation email with a transaction ID (long number) but I don't see any other number that would be an entry number.
