Quoted from FrankM
They're probably emojis.There's a crack team at the CDC working on eradicating the damned things, but it may take a while.

Spot on in this particular case. Go to the top of the class, Frank!
Lil glitches can also happen too, in my experience, if you quote someone's post and select EasyEdit instead of FullEdit. Doesn't seem to occur as much anymore which is good. Stevie just got carried away with expressing  himself.

Carry on.

I'm looking forward to reading some nail-biting and hair-raising scripts.
Not sure if I'm in yet.

Quoted from Zack


Challenge: The majority of your screenplay must heavily feature some sort of vehicle


So this specifically doesn't say that the screenplay must be SET in a vehicle, it says that your screenplay must HEAVILY FEATURE some sort of vehicle. So like Christine isn't set in a car but it heavily features a car.

How open is this to interpretation, Zack?

I've got an idea and some free time. The planets in the solar system must be in alignment or something.

Gonna work on it today and see how far I get as I don't have a third act or an ending yet, but when has that ever stopped Holywood!

And for the brits amoung us, if you want to be original with your vehicle, here's some inspiration.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head, Dude. It does NOT have to be set in a vehicle. The script just needs to heavily feature some sort of vehicle. The vehicle needs to be integral to the plot.


I'm not interested in coming up with a crazy twist or anything like that. I like my stories Simple. Straightforward. A to B. No C.

The title page does not count towards the page count.

Do Stevie's short denim shorts count as a vehicle?  I think they can, as they carry his tiny pecker around.

This could be sheer terror!

Too many ideas. I could do a whole anthology.

I'll probably pick the worst one.

Sounds horrifying. And moist.

There goes the idea of rebooting that.

One down, eleven to go.
