I know of 1 person that definitely dropped out. I think there are new entrants this round that didn't submit to the first round or someone wrote more than one script.

Up to 4 page scripts, we should have 4 days to read and vote.

48 hours worked for 2 pagers. 24 hours per page is a nice formula to follow. That's my thought.

Definitely need a bit more time. But, if I recall correctly, LC said we'd have breathing room between this and the next round. So, I think we're getting it.

Wow! I thought more would drop out.
Brilliant everybody!

Checking with Don on what seems like an extra entry?

So, regarding time:
My thoughts are 72 days to read.
I'll have to work out the maths.

Thoughts on weekend writing going into perhaps Mon/Tues next week?
Or a bigger breather like I suggested?

We don't want to lose too much momentum.

I think 72 days is a tad extreme lol

1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it

Haha! It is a bit extreme.
What a breather that would be, eh?

72 hours?
Takes us up to Friday morning Oz time, rolling over to midnight Thurs/Fri UK Europe, and Thursday U.S.

And that would be from now time, so you actually gained 8 hours from me sleeping.
Something like that... Don't quote me.
