Considering most fairy tales are already horrific wouldn't a retelling make your story full of fluffy clouds, bright rainbows and  pink unicorns.

Completed my first draft. It's 11 pages (12, if you include the title page)? Can scripts go a hair beyond the 10-page limit, or do we have to trim?

Thanks.

NO! I did once and was SLAMMED for it! People didn't want to read it and many refused to because it went over 10 pages.

My submission is 180 pages, will that be a problem?

It's the Shrek script twice in a row

I think it clearly meets the guidlines, fine by me.

Quoted from Grandma Bear I was pulling weeds around my koi pond. It's about as much fun as watching football, if not more fun.

You're pulling weeds wrong, Pia.

Wait...maybe I'm watching football wrong.

Oh this changes my whole outlook on life!

That's what I was thinking, too.

I had to find a different source for my script when all I saw on Don's link were tales of incest, cannibalism, and human trafficking.

Thanks Brothers Grimm!

I'd have two days to write something, because I'll be on a meeting until Wednesday. Not sure I'll find the time for this one, but good luck to all who participate.

I just read a fairytale where a woman rides this large bird and the bird is hungry. They have to arrive on time, so the woman cuts her tigh and feeds the bird. How nice of her!

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films Check out that story I mentioned. It's a really good version of it.

I tried to purchase it but something is wrong with my kindle. Will try again - I'm curious to read it. Unless it's a total rip off and no addition at the end. But let's hope it's not. Thanks.

Just pumped out 4 pages of something. I'm definetly rusty, haven't wrote in a long time and my dialogue's a little on the nose and I'm struggling to make that transition from a thriller to a horror right now. I'm sure I'll get there though. It's an unconventional fable/ tale but hell, I like writing it.

Ouch. Had a little Wodka Red Bull scenario yesterday. Hell do I know why I drink that stuff only few times a year. Better back to routine now. I'm sorry for my unnecessary output

Not a scobby doo at the moment

Just trimmed up my script. Actually, "trim" is too delicate a word. I Jason'd the hell out of this script to get it to 10 pages and still make sense.

Second draft. A very impressive second draft, but then again, I always revise as I write, anyway. This may be the version I submit, unless I can think of anything to tweak or polish.
