    1. Everyone, the Authoress said on twitter that she's working to resolve the issue, so you should check back later to see if you can submit.

  7. I'm not able to submit either--I think the form was set up so it would only accept the first 50 entries, instead of randomly accepting 50 after 6:00pm.

  8. This still seems to happen: [401]Unauthorized: Permission denied

    Any ideas?

  9. This contest says it's full, yet the page itself says it's accepting ALL entries within the time window, and then randomly drawing 50. Please fix this and reopen again, or make it clear in the description. I promote this event on Twitter and I'm getting lots of confused and disappointed entrants asking what's going on.
