Badly formatted summary
Over the last weeks I have submitted several summaries for the Belgian TV-series "Heterdaad". Some of them have gone through without a hitch, some were declined as "badly formatted". After going over them with the guidelines I can find nothing wrong with them, and "badly formatted" is rather unspecific.
Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the following contributions ?
#230407-141653-359000
#230407-104834-142000
The first is a second submission for the same one as #230402-095512-908000 .
PS : I have contributed numerous summaries for a.o. "Slisse en Cesar" and "Lily en Marleen". The problem never occurred for those submissions.

Hi Damienklael-
Thank you for posting the submission reference numbers! I have taken a look at them and the reason why they were declined as 'badly formatted' was because of the length of both plot summaries.
Generally, our preference is that Plot Summaries are a brief paragraph between 239 and 299 characters. If you want to provide a more lengthy context, you may want to consider submitting a Plot Synopsis instead.
However, in this case, I encourage you to make the corrections on both so that they will fit within the word count range and re-submit them so that our editors can review them again.
Cheers!
