Resub!

Remember the edit in this entry?

Well, I was reading the comments section on one of my favourite blogs today when I read that some peoples entries were returned due to their mailbox being full.

So, I decidecd it may be a good idea to check the email address I sent my entry from.

(Quick aside: I used my professional email address, which I have because an email from William C Forbes looks better than one from Spike from Buffy.)

Sure enough, I got this:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

save to /var/spool/virtual_mail/redplanetprize _redplanetpictures.co.uk_d/
generated by redplanetprize@redplanetpictures.co.uk
mailbox is full

Followed by my original email which I’m not putting here dur to character limits.

Went to the website and discovered that they had set up a resubmission email address. So I re sent my entry with the following message:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please find enclosed my submission for the competition, which was previously sent back due to a full mailbox.

I have also resent the rejection notice I recieved so that you know I’m not trying to pull a fast one.

Yours faithfully,

William Forbes

And promptly got this reply:

‘Don’t worry. Red Planet has your entry’

Red Planet Pictures

So, now I really have been entered. And, can I say that Red Planet would have been well within their rights to say ‘Tough, but we didn’t get your entry in time’ so fair play to them for doing this.

They also had this on their website (emphasis mine):
Tony Jordan comments: ‘Thanks to all who have entered for your interest and enthusiasm. We’ve had around two thousand entries to the competition, which is daunting but shows how much talent there is out there. We’ll be working through the entries this month and those that make the next stage should be notified in October.’

Yeah. Any good luck you could send my way would be more than appreciated.

Will
