Something a bit different this time. While we are waiting for a challenger, I'm going to let you all vote for the next logline. Choose one of the four.
Obviously don't ACTUALLY combine them. Unless you combine all of them:
A narcissistic comedienne, a pair of gamblers, an indecisive sorceress, a protester and a tax collector get completely trashed and find a magic lamp in a luxury castle resort, before being eyewitnesses to the murder of a gangster in a forest by a werewolf.
At least eight major characters, three major plotpoints, two distinct locations, five pages, two days. Go!
Wednesday (Thursday for Libby). Though if no one else votes then you already know what it is.

I voted, but I don't like this as much. I like to see a logline blindside the writers 48hrs prior. This way they don't have five days to start thinking about story. Pressure cooker. This is getting close to an OWC now.

I agree. But, for me, the main problem is that the logline doesn't have enough elements.
Did I say elements? I meant elephants.
A narcissistic comedienne, a pair of gamblers, an indecisive sorceress, a protester and a tax collector get completely trashed and find a magic lamp in a luxury castle resort, before being eyewitnesses to the murder of a gangster in a forest by a werewolf. All while riding sarcastic talking elephants.
I. SHOULD. BE. REVISING. Christ, I'm stalling so hard I'm starting to sound like Rendevous...
