DON

i was about to submit mine, but i don't see the option of a dropbox link.

Have i had a senior moment?  As i would prefer it that way so i can update as the reads come in.

No point tin the same typos remaining

cheers

I'm back... got a request for a one-pager on Momma's Boy while away. I'll write that up tomorrow. May also have Time for Love optioned. I'll need to the deadline, but the script for this (TBV) will be finished to a decent standard.

118 pages in... Finally reaching the final showdown. I'm giving myself ten pages for that, then another five to wrap everything up. Aiming to get the writing finished on Sunday, then spend the five days before the deadline rewriting, editing, and working to bring the page count down to the 125 page mark.

Dustin and Reef-- Solid work, to you both. Really looking forward to reading both your entries.

How's everyone else getting along?

Since I didn't know about this contest until about last month, I'm not as far into my script as most of you are yours. Luckily, I'm at 28 pages and counting. Hopefully I have something I can enter by the next Friday's deadline.

And I'm dedicating mine to Wes Craven, even though it isn't horror.

submitted

thanks Don for the link.

However, can you check it got through as it didn't then like the fact i wasn't attaching a file.

i can still work on this, so will probably read again before being posted.

Two days to go and I've finally written the ending, well, almost. The story is there now, but I could really do with another week to make it better.

However, it's full of action, ne'er a dull moment, so it should read quickly and be fairly enjoyable. I've pretty much written this in around 30 days, which is a normal turn around time for a first draft for me. Not to mention the first 80 pages that I almost completely scrapped. To get to this first draft has actually taken me 4 drafts.

Anyway, good luck to everyone. Glad to see Reef and Toby still in. Anyone else?

^^ I know at least one other member from the boards will be entering their entry; so there will be at least four of us, five including Pia.

Looking forward to reading the entries!

Quoted from DustinBowcot Two days to go and I've finally written the ending, well, almost. The story is there now, but I could really do with another week to make it better.

I'm in the exact same boat, mate. Wrote the end. Realised that it was one of the bleakest, nihilistic endings ever put onto paper. Went back in and scrapped that, changed a few things around... But now I'm thinking nihilism might indeed be the way forward for this.

Normally, in situations like these, I would take a few days away from the project, and just let everything breathe. This normally gives me the perspective I need to make the decision on what path to take. Unfortunately, time is not a luxery I have! I'll make the decision today and then just spend the final two days giving everything a quick polish.

... Nihilism wins. I'm already preparing myself for the backlash

I'm not entering mine.    It was already written when this challenge started. It's currently on InkTip. I'll read you guys' entries though.

Bill read mine and I read his, so some reading has already been going on.  

Ah, well, I shall still give yours a read

Do you have a DropBox link? Or would you prefer to email it over?

(That is, if you don't mind sharing and still want reads...)

Can I take a raincheck?  

Two people have already read it and given notes and I also sent it to Screenplay Readers. Both readers gave it a CONSIDER, so I'm set for know when it comes to input. I very much appreciate the offer though.  

I'll be here! Just give me a shout when you want a fresh pair of eyes and I'll get to it ASAP.

Looking forward to these

I haven't written a feature in a couple of years, didn't really feel I could, so it's been nice to get back in the race.

I fired mine off to coverage, like Pia, and got decent feedback, but every script still needs work. I sure there is a mistake on the first page I haven't seen.

Thanks Don and Pia

I'm out, sadly. Too much got in the way and at roughly 50 pages in, there's no way I'll have something any way decent ready for Friday. Still want to finish this one though and will post it when it's done. Best of luck to everyone. I'll be reading.

Just finished and submitted mine. Man, it was a monster expanding a 21 page short into an 88 page feature. But I did it!
