Great turnout, short short challenges rock!

Thanks, Don!

Well, from my reads so far, I am pretty confident that this is going to be a scoring challenge - everything is pretty good and pretty close to each other quality-wise.

12 down with 12 to go. loving this challenge and how quick the reads seem to be. So much variety too.

Great job, Don!

Wow, excellent turnout for such a complex challenge.

Thanks, Don for providing the space for this to happen.

Yay! Boards are going full pelt. Great to see the big turnout.

Once again, thanks Don for the inspiration and for something very different in the way of a challenge.

Busy writing and other things this weekend, but I'll get to these during the week. Good turnout,  looking forward to see what you crazy cats have come up with.

Haha well mine is going about as well as I thought it would.

Quoted from Warren Haha well mine is going about as well as I thought it would. Looking forward to getting into these.

Take the feedback where you think it's apt and improve bits later, but if you think it's good don't talk yourself out of it.

This is what I tell myself.  

We have to imagine these scripts coming through audio. Reading on paper is different.
I've been listening to Calls on Apple TV and some of them are great. I notice one of the Eps seemed to be taken direct from a 911 call, but they added an additional spin/twist which really made it memorable.

With a rewrite mine would fit in perfectly.
I'm talking myself up here btw, for the crack.
