Typical, I had set aside my workday today for writing this thing - and now the world and his dog are asking me to do jobs for them.

I have, however, managed to squeeze in an entry. just remember though that if you find plot holes/grammar errors/ poorly structured sentences or are just utterly confused by the plot (or lack of) it is completely by design and the script is actually perfect  

Genuinely looking forward to reading these

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it

Well...I'm out. Had today and tomorrow off and an idea...but just got called into work tonight, which will be an insanely busy shift due to Memorial Day travel.

I'll still read all of them.

Nice touch by Don to add the evil laugh sound effect every time you look at the countdown clock.

I mean, everyone else hears that too, right?

I've managed to submit something. This was a tough one for me and I just hope I've met the parameters.
Good luck to everyone who managed to get a story in, I know how hard this has been.


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.

I'm actually enjoying the meticulous construction of what I have. It's almost like directing and editing right on the page. Which means nobody will get it, but at least I know what I'm talking about.

Hi all,

Has anyone else had issues uploading a script through the submission link? I tried twice and keep getting an error,
Here's the message:

‘One or more files failed to upload. The reasons returned are:  Upload failed : No data in (file name.pdf. No size on server's copy of file. Check the path entered. ‘

'File name' in the error is the name of the script I’m trying to upload, I just swapped that out for ‘file name’ to post the error message. I’ve never had any issues before, just curious if it’s my end (the file loads fine on my PC) or the SS server side. Thanks in advance...

I have a quick question, according to the contest rules, do these submissions have to be created within the time frame of the challenge? What I mean is If I had and Idea or something I've been working on but not necessarily in script form,  would this be allowed to submit in this contest? Or is this more of from conception to completion piece, no using ideas for scripts we already have laid out fairly well?

In short, you need to submit a complete script in screenplay format within the parameters set out on this link: https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1621637270/

I can't recreate the error.  You can also email the script to webmaster@simplyscripts.com if you have issues.
