14? Now that's just slutty!

I've just received my submission numbers: 10111192, 10111197 and 10111198

Just as a heads up I sent 11 and got this reply:

'Whilst we did not specify a limit - I'm afraid we have been swamped with submissions. To give yourself a better chance, I would be really grateful if you could perhaps give me your favourite 3?'

They clearly didn't anticpate the desperation of the sketch writer

I was only planning to send about 3 anyway so should be OK. (Always assuming they are any good).

Just sent three off and was told the deadline has passed.

I may have read it wrong but thought the website said the 20th October.

Hmm, maybe they should have specified a time on the 20th and a sketch limit.

Ahem. They've just pointed out the big red letters at the top saying 'Closes at noon today'.

Which one of these is hangs head in shame? >_<

On their competition page there is a link to a BBC Writers Room page all about formatting etc...

That makes it sound like they may not be able to read more than 3 per person.

They've recently tweeted this:

Ding ding, the bell has gone, put down your pens, the @cofilmic sketchwriting competition is closed 364 entries, It's been quite a journey!

I wonder how many of those 364 were Sootyj's.

One for each day of the year, and a break for a mince pie on Christmas Day.

Very good

That's not the feedback he usually gets!

Zing! <blows smoke off finger>

Got email at 10 to re-send only 3 but didn't get it until 6 so hope they're not disgarded becuase it's after 12
