Question: You ask for a "Twitter pitch" in one place and a "25-word pitch" in another. My 25-word pitch is too long for a Twitter pitch. So should I include both?
ReplyDeleteThat's a typo on my part! It should be twitter pitch, though I'm sure you can get away with a few extra characters if you need to!
ReplyDeleteHi, I sent the email, but forgot to state that I would like to be included in the forum feedback. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, we'll make a note of if
DeleteNooo, I entered my 30 word pitch, not my twitter pitch. What shall I do?
ReplyDeleteMel, you can email us the correct one (with a notation to that effect) at OperationAwesome6 (at) gmail (dot) com and we'll try to match it up to your entry
ReplyDeleteNot sure if my entry went through or not - MG called "The Trouble With Queenie"
ReplyDeleteHi Rita! Your entry went through, thank you!
DeleteI accidentally autofilled my registration in the Rafflecoptor with the wrong email. I submitted my entry from the correct one. What can I do?
ReplyDeleteNo problem Christopher. We'll make a note that the e-mail you submitted your entry from is the one you'd like to use.
DeleteThanks, the wrong one is Christopher (at) AShortseries (dot) com, and the correct one is ChristopherTNugent (at) gmail (dot) com
DeleteThere isn't a confirmation email for submissions, correct? Just want to ensure I didn't miss something!
ReplyDeleteLorien, there is no confirmation email.
DeleteI totally messed up the first part of the rafflecopter drop down for email entries. My name & email went in fine, but I wasn't sure what to put int he first part and...
ReplyDeletePlease forgive my ignorance. How do I fix this? Your email didn't accept my email entry.
Hi Elena! I found your entry on the Rafflecopter and I'm going to send you an e-mail from the Operation Awesome account. Try replying to it with your entry.
DeleteI might have messed up my entry. Where it said type: all I had was my name when it was sent. I did send required info via my email. Tell me if I goofed.
ReplyDeleteHi Debra! I see your entry on the Rafflecopter and in our e-mail, so you're all set.
