All read, commented on and voted on.

Congrats to all for getting a script done and submitted.

Now just the 3 day wait to see who gets through!

I'm sorry - my head is not in this round as much. I'm reading and voting though. It's one pairing left for me and I'll do the round of comments on those I left out without feedback.

Although feedback might not be important here - many are so high budget that rewriting them will serve no purpose. I'm commenting to justify my vote mainly, though don't think writers need it either.

Left comments on writing on some fine writers scripts. Not proud of myself for that and already regretting my smarts but what's done is done.

I don't understand this high budget concern. It's a writing exercise. Have fun with it. Not everything has to be written with the intent to sell it.

Depends on the writer. Some do it for fun, some do it because they love writing and some do it with the intent to make money.

Do you have any idea how much the rental is on a bottomless abyss? It's the delivery charges that kill ya.

Personally I don't take budget into account so long as it's filmable in principle. But I am finding several entries that struggle mightily to fit in the assigned parameters.

To each his own, right? This is a creative endeavor.

That said, my approach is usually to make shorts cheap and easy to film. If I'm gonna put the work in, might as well have a chance to get something made.

And, a little cash in the pocket never hurts my feelings.

But, yeah, sometimes you just want to go really big and blow some things up!

Do you guys rewrite just for your files? Which is cool, and probably is a good exercise. But you won't even know if the rewrite is good unless you repost it to the site. But what for - I mean, I wouldn't post it, so it hangs here on the site on its own in the shorts section unless I wanted a producer to stumble upon it.

I usually know pretty quickly when my stories suck. Like, this round, for instance!

If you move on, you won't have to worry about that problem as much next round... =)

I think I've got two sets left. Were people saying the quality was lower or higher than last time? I can't be bothered to look back one page. I thought it was good overall. People seemed to try crazier stuff. Rhyming narrators. Jumbled sequence. I don't know if there was really a single stand-out script but some writers went for broke.

Worked for one of those two entries.

(Hand shoots in the air.) Ooh, ooh, I know... 9 pages. Any genre. Your story must suck.

Am I right?

But if it's a requirement, then someone could accidentally mess it up.

I generally don't rewrite just for myself anymore. If I don't think somethings got a shot at being made, I wouldn't spin my wheels. But, I used to do it regularly. I have five full episodes of a sitcom I wrote. I did it because I wanted to learn how to write deeper characters. I knew that nobody would likely ever see the scripts, but I learned quite a bit doing it. Plus, every episode ended up with more laughs than the one before. The last one is probably the funniest thing I've ever written.

But, that was a TON of work and not recommended as a regular practice.
