Just got back on the PC and see we are outing ourselves.

I wrote Pearl of Wisdom - thanks all for the comments

Thought there were some solid scripts.

Toughest vote for me was between:

Blind Faith vs. A Hundred Midnights.

AND

You May Come In vs. The Apparation

In both of these the quality was very very close.

Nice work, Dave. Great script. You should do this for a living.

Thanks to all who read  mine - Missed It By That Much.
It was even funnier when I finished it but I was 3 pages over so had to really scrimp, slash and burn in the final hour before the deadline.

Kudos to all the other scripts - there was some real tough topics - and well done to Alex, my illustrious opponent who wrote a funny one a s well.

The new topic is up and I have an idea straight up and I will go with it. Good luck to my opponent Cam and everyone else!

Quoted from TheUsualSuspect
Is Ghosts of Mars sci/fi?  


Yes. Plus the word ghost is used figuratively.

So, I'd had a few similar questions from people about this round. I'm sure most of the trouble should stem from two specific issues. Hence, I've updated the round 2 thread here so that there will be no worries about whether or not something is acceptable. =)

Hi Sean,

I understand the can't be dead before the script starts, but not so much the can't be dying as your script ends?

So they can die on the last page, but can't be dying? So you have to see them dead or know that they are dead?

Okay so we are going with most, if not all, BUT MOST of your script takes place at your ceremony. I guarantee people are going to get caught up on that. To me this means there can be a small portion of your script that does not take place at the event and that is acceptable?

I still have absolutely no idea where to go with mine but don't want to be disqualified.

Exactly.

If I had it my way, they would take place at the location 100%. However, people like to have set-up, cutaways, flashbacks, etc, which might not necessarily take place at the location.

One thing I made a note of last round is that I do condone people bringing their own sets of values into the reviews. For some people, any time away from the location or genre (or modifier, in the last round) was a deal-breaker. Others were willing to look past that and see just the story. Neither one is wrong.

It's all about that line and whether or not you cross it. It's why art is called "subjective" and why I don't DQ, because where I stand is not the same as where everybody else stands.

Thanks, that's clear to me.

And I'm done!

Will sleep on it and have a look with fresh eyes tomorrow, but I got to say I'm pretty damn happy.
