Are these just for people who got stuff on, or for the 'nearlies' too?

Dan

Dan, don't get your hopes up, we're on the mysterious blacklist remember. :)

You're right. I'm out of straws now anyway...

Dan

As a fellow mysterious blacklist-ee I shall be watching my inbox for something to not appear in there as well :)

I had Death to the West Club (ep. 3) Sex & violence pre-sig and Elephant Man (ep. 5) and Lost Data (ep. 6).

Ah, right. Yeah, I remember two of those as I listened to ep 5 the other day. :)

I can't recognise anyone else from BSG. (apart from Griff)
I assume many didn't quite make it on.

Seriously though, what is going on? Our stuff gets shortlisted or used, yet we never get invited to these other opportunities. I might just email someone and ask why.

Mine got on. It died (essentially), but it got on.

I'm workshopping in March. I assume people who got stuff on other open-door shows are getting invites too.

My Sudoku quickie was pre-titles in Episode 2 (the one you missed, Mikey!)

I have no idea who is getting sent what but I am also going to the March one.

I would imagine they're just rolling out the invites in blocks. Yours will probably arrive in the next week or so, they're just dealing with the priority writers first. ;)

I got the e-mail - will be trying to get on the March one but had to check at work today before responding so may end up on one of the others.

I had two sketches used, but the workshop e-mail referred to promising writers who submitted sketches rather than who had them recorded/broadcast, so presumably a few slots for people with things that were nearly used. It does seem to be entirely for RFTP writers though, rather than people who've had things on other shows.

Ah I'm guessing the boat has sailed on the emails but as always I hold out a little hope as 2 of my sketches where both on the 'going to try to record list' without edits, but think I may be (a little) in denial.

Good luck to all the guys who did get invites.

I'll be here with Dolly and t'other Dan patiently watching my inbox, phoning up my ISP to make sure it's working and getting paranoid over my junkmail filter :)

11th May for me. Should be interesting.

Bo.

I'm now confirmed on the 9 March workshop, so will see some of you there

Has anyone received contracts for their sketches yet?
