Did anyone get a prior email about this opportunity?
I'd written something that RFTP liked, but they didn't use it. However, I got an email from the producer of RFTP shortly afterwards and he said that he'd be back in contact about the new Tilt. I never heard anything though!
Perhaps he'll be contacting all the other 'RFTP nearlys' closer to the transmission of 7 on 7. I don't know.
No, didn't get a 'prior email' either and I'm in much the same situation as you.

Yeah, one of the producers was my mentor on something and - to be fair - has been very encouraging. It seems to be the other producers though...
So do I assume we're all waiting for rejection/acceptance before posting these in 'Critique'?
Maybe their "prior email" of "we'll keep you informed of forthcoming open door shows" metaphorically means "actually, we won't email you. Instead we'll post it on Writersroom as it's your responsibility to check frequently."

As the deadline's over, there's no reason for people not to post their submissions in Critique now, I suppose, if they want to.
Because the actual 7 On 7 show doesn't start until May, those submissions will only be "calling cards" anyway.
(although, saying that, a couple of mine have a long shelf life, i.e. about the economy.)
I would post mine in Critique but frankly they were a bit crap.

Show me the writer who doesn't have the odd loss of confidence and I'll show you...
No don't worry I was probably going to say something rubbish
The turn-around for this next phase should be pretty quick as the masterclass is in a week's time.
By what day this week do you reckon the successful applicants will have a response?

no idea, but I would hope they would have told successful people by midweek as they'd have to plan for the masterclass.

Let's hope so.
Any ideas on what the masterclass might entail?

Say 'comedy' into the mirror five times?
I'm presuming David Mitchell will waffle on, giving tips on how to master the craft of radio writing.
Would be cool to meet up with fellow BSGers if I got through.
