Welp, I'm in... I just submitted mine Two seconds ago.  I had my wife read it 4 times.  I had a friend read it and to keep hacking away at it would just tarnish it further.  I'm happy for what it is.  I hope you all enjoy it.  Please note the format is not Cole & Haag, either.  I wanted to format it in that because of how beautiful and easy to read it is... It is actually formatted in Trottier's style, which, as many will know, allows for more on the page sadly.

I look forward to reading all the entries I can.

Reviewing the gamut of technical Q&A about writing for execution, I need just a skosh more clarity on the wheelchair ACTOR.

Approaching this as if a producer asked for a short with the given parameters, I am asking if the actor in a wheelchair, that I can use or not use - as I wish - , is an actual wheelchair bound actor and I should write accordingly or is simply part of the "fun" having some bloke in a wheelchair acting, or not?

And to the entrants -
Should we preempt some of the questions others are likely to have by stating our known creative work-arounds & justifications, like we would with a producer/director, in a post on each work's thread ASAP?

Or "Screwit", let A - readers find their own problems and B - directors figure it out for themselves?
(IMHO, neither of which sounds very professional or real-worldly since we've already figured it out.)

I haven't seen this come up yet, but after reading my work, I spotted a spelling error at the end and corrected it. While I was in the edit mode, I decided to up the ante as it were and change ropes to vines, remove a line of dialog I didn't care for (it was like a "zinger", coffin humor) and put in an extra bit of something else the antag does.

In any case, does adm. accept recent revisions before deadline?

Way I understood it, one of the two main guy characters has to be in a wheelchair. If not, then I am disqualified because my wheelchair actor would need a stunt double!

Well... exactly!

I wanna know if I gotta write a bit for Stephen Hawking or the late Christopher Reeve, post accident, or am I writing for Johnny Depp to be screwwin' around in a wheelchair.

World-O-diff when I'm told:
- Two males, one male in wheelchair
- One female
And the boss bolds ACTOR in one of his replies to a similar question.

I could be writing this for some PC, National Handicapped Horror Buffs League and I gotta figure out if we're casting NHHBL members or making something for them.
I dunno.
I can see some special interest gig wanting to see victory in wheelchairs! Or some political action committee testing public opinion on the wheelchair bound.

I sent in my script 3 times now.  I hope he accepts the last draft, because a scene is missing from the other 2 and some mistakes are present in them that I had gone back and caught.

Anyways, mines done.  I just hope the right version is uploaded now.

I just can't believe that you guys are re-submitting your scripts after finding mistakes, have you got no self control? Why can't you wait until Saturday to submit and have all your errors fixed by then? A real writer would not be so clumsy, Don must be pissed at you lot, Jeez Louise.

Actually, I have submitted mine three times too, feel a bit better knowing I am not the only one. I think four would be out of order though.

Mine isn't so much about self control, rather control.  If I held onto it anymore I'd cut and splice and remove even more from it.  After I had it read on print out did I realize an entire scene was missing... This due to me dropping it into the full on version I'm working on.  I've edited 6 pages worth of material from mine in total.  Mine was very hard to cohesively make remotely work in 10 pages.

I had 2 PDF's on my desktop and uploaded the wrong one 2 times -- I got the 3rd one right after viewing the file and seeing the mistakes made.

I would wait until people read your script before resubmitting it.  Yeah, they'll point out the typos and stuff, but they'll also point out other things that you don't see that may need correcting.  In this case, you may end up resubmitting a third time.

Mine is all about being an idiot and not picking up mistakes the during the first 300 reads. I guarantee that as soon as I fix up some errors and re-submit I will find more. I am so bad and finding mistakes, it's really weird.

Straight after my third submission and a grovelling apology to Don I found two more. So now I know I have two spelling mistakes and just gonna leave them there now.

Next time I am gonna put it away for a couple of a days then read again before submitting.

Ha, that's exactly what I did.  Crazy.  Good to know I'm not alone.

Now that would be the sensible thing to do, I just wish I was sensible.
