Scripts are up! Thanks, Don. I have some time now for a quick feature, luckily 90 seems to be a hit for most writers, should make it easier. I know Tobes and I certainly haven't.

Glad to see peeps jumping in on reads already. I struggled with the genre for a while, it's easy to classify it as a sci-fi concept, but it's really ingrained into a sense of realism which is hard to quantify, especially since it's predominately set in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Upstream Color lends a good example.

Whoops.   I sent you a revised draft and logline on Thursday. Did you not get it? Thanks.

Edit: You posted the correct draft, but the wrong logline. Hmm.   It's all good, though.


Chris,

Email me the revised logline and I will get it up.

Congrats to all who finished.

As for me, I ran into a bit of a problem earlier this week with my main computer. About 80 some pages in, aiming for a 90, my video card chose to go belly up.

A friend was going to sell me a card for cheap, but they been dragging feet I should have a new card soon and I will be able to finish up by the end of the month.

But now I'm curious, because the The Feed thread is zapped out into the ether..
and it is something I am really proud of. I'm not disowning it or anything like that.

Are late entries allowed?






Darren,

When submissions open up again, you can submit it.

To all who have planned to read this, the word count now sits at (a mere ) 131 pages. Managed to cut out 7 pages this evening.

If I save this one till last it could be down to 90 pages. I'm a third of the way into Reef's at the moment, then I'll read Mohammed's as they've both read mine and i have some catching up to do. Got some good notes for Reef at the moment though.

Sounds good, bro. No rush. I'm going to finish Mo's today, then I've got Reef's next on my list (as I've never read anything by him). Yours is after that. Unfortunately, I don't imagine that I'll have time to read yours before I head off to Amsterdam on Thursday morning, so it might be a 'notes-next-week' kind of job.

Cool loglines gentlemen, I'm looking forward to some reading. I thought "Blood Harvest" sounds unique, I'll probably dive into that one first.

I'm digging the list of talented writers here, all male, inking a female lead. Did any of you feel it was challenging if you're used to writing male leads?

Hey Johnny, awesome! Thank you Really happy to hear that BH caught your eye.

Interesting question, as well. My previous feature also featured a female protag, so this script actually felt like a natural progression from that. I grew up in a household of mainly women, so a lot of their personality traits have seeped into both these protags... just don't let them hear that, otherwise they'll murder me! Haha.

I found it challenging as I'd picked an action type of story involving vampires and really wanted to avoid any Buffy references. At one point I almost had her being able to do some type of martial art, then I even considered making her a werewolf... in the end, I found a direction to go that was out of the ordinary.

I don't normally struggle with female protags though unless it's action. Men are so much stronger than women it's difficult to swallow when they take men down so easily. Unless they're Chinese. The smallest, oldest Chinese lady could beat the shit out of five guys at once. Perfectly acceptable. Sexy white bitch with popcorn muscles, not so much.

I started on The Treasure Chest yesterday, but have no idea how long it will take me to read. I have company here for a while. Have patience. I'll get to it.

thanks Don.
By the way, in case anyone was curious, my script also dealt with vampires.

Not far wrong... Got it down to 126. Edited the link in my thread to this leaner version. Not touching it again until I'm back from Amsterdam at the weekend, but I'm hopeful of getting it down below the 120 mark.

Looking forward to it.

Just to let you guys know that I didn't drop the ball. I've just been away for a few days at DW with my kids. As always, I planned to read a lot and write a lot...as always, I didn't read one word, nor did I write anything. Had a lot of fun though...
