I think we had a great turnout this time. Almost all the scripts were written by contributing members (not sure about the Shyamaladingdong one) and for the most part, they're pretty promising.

I hope everyone actually finishes... a lot of these look like they could be really interesting.

Ha! Laughed at that.

Yeah, decent turnout with some solid scripts. Would be great if we all finish.

I missed the original deadline for the first 11 pages. However, I'm not writing off the whole thing. You may well still find me in the end.

Finished the entries, some good stuff here, hard to judge since it's the first 10 pages so a lot of comments seem familiar. Oh, well.

Come on, guys. Why so quiet?

I'm going to start outlining on the weekend, very excited. How's everyone else doing?

I have an outline and 10 or so pages written. I need to finish rewrites of some other projects, but I am trying to get at least a first draft ready by the deadline. Like I mentioned earlier, the title is Dead Ringer and is a thriller...hopefully.

I've written 15 additional pages, but it's a rough draft. Haven't sent anything to Steven yet. We aren't using an outline.

I still have two entries to read. I haven't forgotten-- reviews coming soon.

What's an outline?  

In truth, this time around, I feel a destination. Not an outline, but good enough to lift my spirits and want to dance upon my grave.

Do good stuff! Looking forward.

Well done to those who entered, stuck their necks out etc. I think. Have a couple left to read.

If anybody wants a read, second opinion etc let me know

I wanted to enter to get me off my arse and write another feature. I enjoy the shorts at the moment, but there is a time to move on. So, having failed to turn up, i dusted down all my ideas,  tried as best as possible to choose the one with the most interesting  hook, and am working on the detail.

Every time I look at a feature I go through waves of 'this is good' ...then...' I can't work it out' and often end up feeling a bit deflated by it all.

Even deciding on the genre is an issue. This may some weird  to some but with my idea it could easily have been drama, thriller, slapstick comedy and it was only deciding that I would take it down the Dark comedy route that some of the issues started to clear.

Next I need to nail down my protag - poor sod. I have a lot of ideas for him but they have to link with the script, the tone, genre and how the comedy plays out. When i throw all these things into the melting pot, something feels off. Needs some work.

Anyway, end of my rambles but whilst I'm not part of the 'the script with a new phone gang' I am happy to be on this thread.

Cheers Folks
