Arts Council Bursary

Anybody apply for the recent grants from the Arts Council? I applied with a collection of short stories but was rejected (no great surprise). The rejection letter said the stories were 'well crafted and lively but over determined'. Whatever that means. Anyone have better luck?

Of all the people I know who get involved with the arts council and their assortment of handles I don't know anyone who gets anywhere with them. They seem overly choosey or fastidious about who they help.
