I'm not sure I'll submit mine. didn't have time to rewrite and will be travelling tomorrow. Planning to be absent for the next week which means not much time will be left for reading and commenting either. Too bad, I wrote mine a while ago and was sure it would be in.

Good idea! She'll open her own account. She's very opinionated though and I know she likes everything I write but hates everything everyone else writes.

Guys, guys, guys! I just thought about something. Shouldn't we include two loglines? One for the series as a whole and one for the particular episode we're submitting? I believe both will differ big time and it will give the reader a better idea on what he's about to read, no?

Also, shouldn't we include a brief summary of the original show? For the lazy ones among us who would never take the time to watch or even check the original show wiki page.

Just a thought.

The story should stand on its own legs. Needing to know the old show shouldn't be an issue, IMO.

I think it's up to us, as judge and jury, to be informed. There were a couple shows on the list that I was unfamiliar with, so I took some of my oh-so-little precious time to either watch the opening or the pilot episode to know what to compare. It's the least we can do.

It’s important for the episode to stand on its own because someone who has ONLY seen the pilot will not see the fully-formed characters.

Absolutely correct. You can't count on the reader to know of previous events/episodes that may influence a characters reaction or decisions.

TV shows only have one logline when pitched. It should be what the show is about, not the individual episode.
