Quoted from Don





I just kicked back a script that exceeded the 10 page limit.  So, I'm going to have to stick to that.  

Don


Good stuff Don! Keep these people in line!  I don't have to worry about my script being 12 pages...

It's actually 13

Bummer, I'm out this Challenge, too much work on...but I will be reading.

Gee, I see the Don's being a real hard arse (ass) about page count.  

Good to see. Those 12 page entries are a real chore to get through.

P.S. That just made me laugh - it censors (ass) but not our English/Aussie version 'arse'.

God, Lib, talk about behind the times! I've been pissing myself about arse getting through for years, lol.

Have done 8 pages of my entry! Only slight prob is I'm not really to the end yet and there is zero horror! Am saving that for near the end but it will be a huge juggling act! Too tired to do it now. Will get it done tomorrow morn(Saturday here). The entries are due in at about 1or 2 pm our time so will be sweet.

Seems I am not prolific enough with my swear (y) words.  

Get some 'gore' going in that 'Witchy' script Stevie. I'll be looking out for it!

Quoted from dogglebe
Unfortunately, my laptop died on Tuesday.  Between that and my new job, I'm officially out.  Too bad, as I started something I would like to have entered.

*Pout* - and I really liked the concept for that one, too...

Can't he borrow yours?    

I sort of started something, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood to finish it.

I'm halfway there on the first draft. It's going to be a close call but I should squeak it in.

I'm sorry but what does a pisser mean? ahah. Does it mean scripts that are absolutely horrible?

Because mine's pretty terrible, and I've been lazy with the editing. I'm also slightly discouraged seeing how many people did sketches and outlines before starting their script. I personally didn't do any of that, because I figured it was only a ten page Halloween script. But I should have done it.

Anyways, I'll read it over and try and do some editing in the next ten hours.


A bad writer, trying to become decent...

Thank you for all who put up with my work and try and help me improve.

Practice will hopefully pay off for my writing.

A pisser is a purposely horrible script.  The best ones are so bad, they become good, in a humorous way, that is.

Seb, you've got plenty of time still.  Edit that thing like crazy. Seriously, there really no excuse for more than a few mistkes in a 10 page effort.  IMO, you should read it over at least 10 times before even thinking about submitting it.

Now, if you're racing against a deadline, that won't happen, but that doesn't apear to be the case here.

God for it, bro and put your best foot forward.  Looking forward to reading your script.

C'mon, Rene.  You can do it!

I'm about 70% done and I've edited the first 7 pages at least 15 times already.

I'm far from thrilled with my script, but it will be completed and entered.  My favorite character so far is my octopuss - he's 1 badass Warlock!!!!  His special Warlock power is that he can shoot out a cloud of black inklike liquid - of shit...wait...all octopusses can do that, right?  WTF?

Damn, back to the drawing board...

Damnit, Pia!!!  WTF????

C'mon, girlk...get on it.  You can do it.  You need to break this slump you're in.  I'm rooting for you and expecting an Angry Bear entry.

Start drinking Mich Ultras and you should be fine!!

Half way through one. I think it's a decent concept, but it will be rushed. I think with the feedback it might be turned into a cool story, and very filmable. Hopefully its present form won't 'horrify' the readers!

My concept isn't much to write home about.  It's also being rushed, but I am on the finale now.  Tough to properly set this final scene though.  I may have to start drinking to get it rolling.

Mine will not be filmed...that much is for certain.  Budget wouldn't allow for it.
