Quoted from MichaelYu When I saw the theme, I liked it. I came up with an idea. I haven't started writing because I have been busy. It is 1 day 19 hours left. Don't know if I can make it. Michael

Go!

Hey all,

Michael got me to thinking. Since I announced a day late, I’m going to push the deadline to Sunday at midnight. That and turnout has been a bit low so far, but hopefully this gives a few more peeps the time, and the incentive, they need to get rockin.

Okay? Sunday at midnight is the new deadline! Good luck!

So Steve, when looking at the current countdown clock, add a day.

Quoted from LC So Steve, when looking at the current countdown clock, add a day.

Yes. Don said he’d adjust the clock  

At some point.

The timer has been set.

Quoted from LC This is obviously key. The addiction/compulsion has to connect with the rest of the plot and not be incidental.

I'm not in but I think the addiction is being connected is an added later criteria. I see that Steve has "and what about that addiction" at the end of his top post but it's not that explicit. I mean it might be not fair towards those who already developed an idea where the addiction is not fully in or something.

again, i'm not in, don't have anything in my head for a really long time, sorry

While I didn’t specify that it MUST play a role in the story, it’s not just tacked on at the end. It was the very first criteria I mentioned. Now, I would think that peeps would realize that the strange addiction/compulsion should play some sort of part in the story. How big a part would be up to the writer.  Quite honestly, it could be used for a cheap laugh, it doesn’t matter really. However you want to use it. What I’m really interested in is a good story

Have started 3 different scripts, I really like two of them but not going to work for this criteria... came on to declare myself out as I thought I only had a few hours left.

Now I see there's an extension, maybe not out afterall!

That’s good to hear, Anthony. It was looking pretty light there for a few minutes, but a couple more scripts came in. Hope peeps take advantage of this extension.

Well, in the words of Fresh Fish from Shawshank ..."I'm not supposed to be here!". I should be busying myself with the stupid amount of work I have to do, but I figure this is as good a time as any for a time out.

Steven, you've served up a Double Whopper!

We started one a few days ago, then trashed it. Now recycling. We'll see how it goes.

Wow, Reg! A script from the First Couple of SS! Color me very intrigued.

Don’t forget, those of you who’ve entered already have another day and a half to rewrite and tweak if the mood hits you.

I'm not touching mine.  The old creativity ammo clip is empty.  Perhaps the reviews will reload it.

Liar, Liar, Pants on fire!  I went and reread it, found an incorrect word and something I totally meant to have in there, but forgot.  New version submitted.

I wish I'd seen this earlier - I have a great idea for this prompt!
