Quoted from ChrisBodily ...an 88 page feature...

I like the sound of that.


The thing about it being a slog isn't so good though, lol. Makes me think that perhaps there's going to be lots of exposition or unnecessary dialogue to bump up page count. Hope I'm wrong.

Either way, you have plenty of time to improve it. I doubt that any of us will have written a perfect script this time. With the holidays, kids being off school (it's during summer break in my country and I have 4 of the little feckers) etc, etc, I always find it hard to write anyway. I need perfect silence or music with perfect silence in the background, else I'm wearing headphones with them on full blast and then it can become unpleasant, almost a chore to write, especially when there is a 'deadline'. Maybe not a real deadline with money involved, but it's nice to pretend.

To my dismay, a bumpy shoot over this month meant I didn't have time to finish my 7WC script. However, it'll appear around here soon enough, and I look forward to reading everyone's entries!

Will there be a list of who wrote what?  Or is it anonymous?

It's not anonymous ... Well mine won't be.

As far as I see it, this is just a club set up to help us improve what we've written

Quoted from Reef Dreamer It's not anonymous ...

Ok, good.

The 7WC is not like the OWC, which has become more of a competition. This one is still just a challenge. A challenge to write a feature in a set amount of time. Some people do better with deadlines than without. When finished, you won't get a mug. All you get is the satisfaction of having written a feature and you will also get others to read and comment on your work.

I don't really see why anyone would want to enter their script anonymously.

Looking forward to see what you guys came up with and I'll miss those of you who didn't make it.  

Mine has been submitted. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but it all works for now. 92 pages.

Here's the logline I just made up on the hop:

An unbeknownst descendant of the Van Helsings must finish what her family started when the last vampire, kept alive and farmed for her blue blood that gives users vampire powers for one night, escapes and seeks her rightful place as ruler of the planet.

Looks like I'm going to take top prize for word count... 138 pages. I really did try my best to keep the page count down (and even trimmed a good 10-15 pages), but the detective aspect of the script just needed the pages to breath... Apologies for everyone that reads it

I'm just polishing up the final 10 pages, then I shall be submitting mine. Logline's still the same as it was for when I posted the first 10, six weeks back.

Looking forward to reading all the entries!

Don,

I uploaded my script with a DropBox link (instead of uploading the script file), and got this error message:

Quoted Text "One or more files failed to upload. The reasons returned are: No files were selected for uploading"

Did the upload go through?

P.s. I will also PM you the information, just in case it didn't (or just in case the DropBox link didn't upload properly...)

Quoted from Toby_E Don, I uploaded my script with a DropBox link (instead of uploading the script file), and got this error message: Did the upload go through?

I didn't get the error because I ignored the upload screen. usually when you use a link the upload screen becomes unnecessary and there is a little message that tells you this. I noticed that the message wasn't there this time, but if you submitted a link then that should be fine. That's exactly what I did.

You got the error because you clicked submit on the file upload screen... without actually uploading any files. Hope that makes sense.

Ah, cheers for confirming that, Dustin. Much appreciated.

Don -- You can ignore the PM that I just sent (unless the initial DropBox link doesn't -- for whatever reason -- work; as the one in the PM definitely does).

Thanks all, looking forward to reading the submissions!

Okay, mine's been submitted. Ran across the same problem as Toby, but I put the dropbox link in so it should be fine. It too is on the higher end -- 124 pages. Although, it's actually somewhere around ~117 or ~116, but I added a few page breaks which increased the length. Seems like we have a solid amount of entries, will be nice to see what people wrote.

I've been laying low for the longest time because I had no idea if I would make it. I was averaging about a page a day for awhile, buoyed only by the fact that I'd written a one page synopsis and had a decent idea of the structure.

Then I got a bunch of good writing days... then I spilled beer on my laptop in the middle of writing the last scene. Luckily the only thing I lost was my keyboard.

All in all, I haven't had a lot of time to edit. Basically one pass through after the draft was done, though I did manage to cut it from 102 pages to 99, which was nice since my starting goal was in the 90-99 range.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone came up with. I'm gonna close my computer now, before it has a chance to spontaneously burst into flames (it's been that kind of week).

Mine is...

The Memory Map

After a traumatic mission, a covert agent goes on the run only to discover that her survival depends on an experimental procedure to unlock part of her memory.

Well..I think that's the log line I entered. You know what it's like, you start to enter  a link and suddenly remember you've got to put one together, could have been anything  

Dustin - like the sound of yours.
