This from Pia:
There will be a Review Page E-mailed to you for you to score the scripts you read...
From me:
Until then - Make constructive comments at this stage, Matt. Say what worked for you, what didn't, what can be improved upon, if you think it met the challenge parameters, if you thought it was a strong entry, etcetera. if you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the reply
Me being me, I am going to have to keep a spreadsheet of all entries, which ones I've read/commented on because I know I will lose track.
Will do - Later tonight when the kid is in bed, I'm going to crack open a bottle of wine and get my Rom-Com on!
Well done to everyone putting in an entry!
Aww man, a tired parent who finally put the kids to bed falling in love with a bottle of wine and a good Rom Com is the perfect premise for a Rom Com....if only I had thought of this!! I’m a parent so it wouldn’t of been a stretch to imagine hahah
I’m really interested to see what all these scripts end up looking like!! ROM COMMMM!!!

Matt, also, don't out yourself on your script in reviews. In the past, there have been writers who have taken exception to a review and commented back on the thread why they wrote it the way they did, or revealed themselves in some other way. You stay anonymous until the writers are revealed by Pia and Don.
