Can’t tell if you legitimately thought I was rainbowsockmoney or if that was some sort of sarcastic dig on my too serious answer. This is why I’m nervous about my comedy genre! Ahhhh!

I re-read my story on Monday and saw a huge typo in the 2nd paragraph that completely made the sentence not make sense. I'm assuming that'll kick me out. Although the fact that the romantic comedy I wrote doesn't have much comedy in it might clinch the deal for me anyway :S

I submitted my story at literally 11:59pm on the dot and I need to never, ever, ever cut it that close again.

Second round, I found a typo just like that the next day, on top of another word that was missing completely. Doesn't seem like the judges caught it, or if they did, they didn't deduct for it. *crosses fingers for you* |

I screwed up - my title page and story are in two different fonts . I was so careful to change the story to an "accepted font" - but I did the title page last and didn't notice that Word defaulted to Cambria for that page. Now i'm worried that they'll just look at the title page and assume the rest of the doc is in the same font. Not sure which would lose me more points - that, or having two different fonts!
ARGH! Has anyone here lost formatting points? How would we even know? Does it come up in comments?

Btw, where did you hear that it's 15%? I've been looking and can't find that info anywhere. No clue how the scoring works!

It's in the Rules and Participation Agreement - if you go to the main FFC page of the NYC website, there's a link. It's actually quite interesting to skim through: https://bit.ly/2qQcGgF "20. Judging Criteria & Decision of the Judges - The fixed standard and criteria used by each of the Judges shall be
instructed by the LLC to the Judges, and shall be as follows:
15% Format (Adherence to paragraph #14, but not including Length)
15% Spelling and Grammar
70% Story (Writing, Originality, Character Development, and Plot Development)"
