I know it's been said, but in future rounds pairing each of the two scripts together in one post with the topic would make reading/voting/discussion much easier. Would be nice to get some compare and contrast discussions on the paired scripts. It's very messy as is, but understand it's a trail run.

Thanks for organizing this.  It is appreciated.

Agreed, 1 thread per every 2 scripts would've been better. Granted, I can work with how it's been done this time. One suggestion for this particular thread, though, would be to link to the discussion pages rather than the scripts themselves; saves the trouble of going to every thread separately.

Sean, because of traveling commitments for business, I wasn’t able to enter, but I assume non-participants can comment and vote? Or not?

Good luck to those writing in the next round. At least you don’t have to worry about actually meeting the criteria in order to move forward.

I agree. And I would not mention this except for the rock. Why would a moon colony under a dome have a 1950s suburban town? Seems like a real stretch to meet the "criteria."

Really enjoyed the 'five page' thing on the ones I did get to read. Some really good writing on display throughout. This was a cool challenge. Great job to all who entered. And super great job to those who move on to the next round :)
