Quoted from Matthew Taylor On a scale of 1-10  (1 being like Ice, 10 being the raging fires of hell) How pissed will people be if I submit something but don't get to read/comment on many entries? I don't know how many entries there will be but the multiple submissions thing has me worried there will be more than I can handle (Got an exam coming up I should really revise for) Or I could submit it but DQ myself, then you guys have the choice of whether to read it or not

Echoing what others have said but if you manage to read a few that's enough I think. We've had winners in the past who haven't reviewed a single entry and that has not gone down well but you are a regular contributor.

I don't think there will be many multiple submissions, I struggle to get one done in a week as I suspect is the case for most mortals.

I echo-echo.  

Fine by me, Matthew.

P.S. I predict a biggish turnout regardless of multiple entries. The parameters are darned fine for much innovation and creativity.

I hope there aren't too many entries with babes in bikinis in peril on beaches.

Thank you all   I will deffo be reading some (I just always feel like I should read all of them)

Now I need to actually come up with a decent story - I'm close to abandoning my first one

Oh wow. How can you all just write and submit. I’m in the presence of some great writers here.
I’m finishing something pretty disjointed, badly spelled and overall whatever script. And then if I have time to rewrite and read it like five times I’ll submit maybe

Yeah, I agree, the params are easy to tackle. It’s gonna be many entries

I got one in. Looking forward to reading everyone's entries.

Kinda psyched. Finally had a spark and, although only two pages in, I'm having some fun with this one.

I like this Chinese restaurant approach of 'pick one from column A, B and C'. Having no genre and theme was the most difficult part. As long as it's not rom-com, I can usually come up with something.

I wonder if everyone avoided the obvious choices of sand, syringe and sickness. Being from NJ, it was the first thing I thought of and steered clear in a hurry.

Now I just have to finish this damn thing.

Rene - It just occurred to me that if you're running this show, does that mean you're not participating?

Quoted from JEStaats Rene - It just occurred to me that if you're running this show, does that mean you're not participating?

You got it. It would have been an unfair advantage, I've had plenty of time to think of the parameters and come up with ideas to make sure they will fly. Besides, I'm busy writing a series of shorts for filming and gearing up for running a First Draft screenwriting course.

What are those obvious choices? Like someone is sick and does something with sand? I don't know.

A question to Rene: is being a zombie concidered to be some sort of sickness?

Quoted from khamanna A question to Rene: is being a zombie concidered to be some sort of sickness?

I'd say that qualifies.

That would obviously be for the "b" contest

There's a real problem with used syringes and other drug paraphernalia washing up on beach shores.

OMG, that’s sickness!
