Looks like this is going to be a really big challenge as far as participation goes.

So ready to start the reviewing process.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood
I looked at the BBC Radio Play format template included in FadeIn but it looked weird, stuck with normal screenplay format instead.


Just had a look at this on their website, god-awful. I'm sure it serves the purpose for the medium but it has no flow whatsoever. It's more like reading a shopping list.

Submitted. I like it...so I'm sure it sucks. Totally fits the parameters, though...so I'm sure it doesn't. My confidence is overwhelming.

Suppose I should have clarified... I feel pretty good about my entry's chances of being destroyed in the reviews.

Anyone else find themselves reading and rereading and rereading their script once it's submitted in an attempt to convince themselves that they're actually onto something? Finding themes and subtext that you didn't consciously put there when you wrote it.

I think I'm up to reread 20 or 30 and this is a god-damn masterpiece.

It's great to see all this excitement!

Don really hit on something - even if it was by accident.  
Just ribbing the boss btw.

I have a few half-baked going nowhere ideas at this point. Should be easy. Oh, well.
Looking forward to reading a gazillion stellar four-pagers.

You've still got plenty of time to get something in. You've got this!

I tend not to go back once submitted - I am lazy like that.

I just wrote a children's book....

I didn't mean to.

Exact opposite for me. Lol. The more I reread it, the more I question my sanity. The reviews are gonna be... fun.

I do that sometimes, but I'm never convinced it's brilliant. Usually it's just -- dammit, I should have used "a" instead of "the." Stupid shit like that.

That said, people often find subtext and cool stuff that I had no clue I put into the script. I always take credit for it, though.

My 'Bullet-proof-perfect' theme crashed, burned, and sank, but I can't be happier with the results.  Every script is in the spirit of the theme and while the execution hasn't precisely been as I envisioned it, so far there are no scripts that are disqualified.  

However, it is a bit of a peen fest ... Need more Yang to balance out the Yin

I guess that's the kicker though, it never is brilliant, I just have a knack for convincing myself I have something more than I do. Reality is that this script is going to get eaten alive.

I do the exact same thing with words and sentence structure, that will literally drive you insane.

Of course
