Anyone else have trouble with the website trying to submit at the last minute? (I know I know should have submitted earlier, but I'm on the west coast so it's only 9 and I had a busy week). It finally uploaded but it was about 3 or 4 minutes past the deadline. Do you think that'll be disqualified?

That stinks, I nearly missed it myself for no good reason.
I can't say for certain but I would definitely email them and let them know you had technical difficulties. I can't imagine them taking issue with a couple minutes. Fingers crossed for ya. Good luck

as long as they are aware of the problems and see the time your story was submitted, within minutes, it shouldn't be a problem..

Writing is easy, just open a vein and bleed out the words.

Thanks, guys! Fingers crossed, and at any rate at least these contests always force me to sit down and actually produce something.

I had submission problems on Saturday, as well. I also live on the west coast. My submission finally went through by 9:15 PDT… Sucked...

I think if you sent the safety e-mail dated around that time, you should be OK ... |

They seek him here, they seek him there, those damned writers seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell, that damned elusive Scarlet Screenwriter! (Oh, phuck, that doesn't even rhyme!) |

Thanks! I definitely doubled down and sent the safety e-mail as soon as the website started giving me trouble, and I noted that I was having some issues. Hopefully they'll see the time stamps (like 9:05 or so west coast time) and it won't be so egregious to DQ me, but I'd totally understand if they did. Still, it's not like those 5 extra minutes would have been meaningful if I'd still been writing!
