Quoted from ReneC
You haven't even seen what the last round will be. It might call to you, like a flame to the moth. You'll be over there minding your own business and it will suddenly light up the dark and draw you in against your better judgment, against all reason because it simply will not leave you alone, until you realize the only way to rid yourself of it is to dive head first into it.

Burn, baby, burn.

Ha! Nice one, Rene.

Quoted from Warren
Nine scripts to go and I'm a little over it... I'd say this will be my last round.


Hell no, Man! You gotta' hang tough. Wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy.

I definitely have the urge to write, I'm just not enjoying the reading and reviewing process that much. Nothing to do with the amount of time or having a potentially great idea for a script.

I had the same issue in the first round, but now the slightly larger page count had made it even more choresome (is that a word?)

Nothing to do with the scripts, just where I'm at.

I do have a new idea for a feature which I'm really keen to get started so I will aim my new found enjoyment for the actual writing towards that.

I'll knock over the last 9 scripts and then will exit stage right

Just a reminder and a note of clarification, which I added on the main page.
Probably my fault for adding a /

Genre selection in this challenge can be either, or, or a combo of both genres in the particular chosen category.

Gonna have a break now and read the rest tomorrow. I'm enjoying the scripts, I just find if I try to go through too many in a single go I get a headache and cranky and that isn't fair on the writers.

That's a good idea, Mark.

I think there's a temptation to get them all read and the 'job' out of the way but I think everyone's work deserves fresh eyes e.g.
a break in between. Jmho, of course.

I'm really struggling to find time to read these - Whenever I can grab some time I am getting through 1 or two.

Very sorry if I don't get round to reading anyones entry this round

Amazed at the similarity amongst the entries this round and how the majority seemed to toss budget out the window. Many also seemed to take three pages to set-up and the fourth page for the quick reveal or resolution. Quite a few didn't seem to have an ending either. I'll admit, I fell into a few of these categories as well.

I hope not to read another comedy set in a public restroom with an urn for a long time.

That said, a lot of really good work for 72 hours. Congrats to all that entered.

Just read comments on mine for the first time bc I was afraid to see what people would say, it's not something I'm very proud of and I'm still not sure why, out of all the directions I could've gone, I went THAT direction. BUT... the comments are not nearly as bad as I thought they'd be lol. But I stand by what I said... it is BY FAR the worst thing I've ever written. I thought of so many better ideas after I hit submit, it's excruciating.
