Quoted from PKCardinal
Cut, cut, cut. Choppity chop.

Doh, doh, doh, so much to go.

Getting closer. Written far better. Written worse. Struggled with this combo. The genre thing really added a layer of difficulty. Which is funny, because I think most scripts cross genres.

I bet they all are going to be a one combination of genres.


I bet you're right

Quick funny story, as I prepare to throw down...

Literally less than 10 minutes ago, I decided to run my idea on Teri, my girlfriend...as some of you know, that didn't go well the last few OWC's.

So, I started and within 15 seconds, she grabbed a file and started filing her nails.  As I continued, I paused at each important revelation...waited for a response...got none, and continued on.

When i finished, she said, "I don't think you should spend alot of time on it".  I asked why, and she repeated what she said, got up, and as she went inside, she said I have no idea what you just said and didn't get any of it.

So, there we go...

I'll write it now and submit and wait for the bashing to begin...

Submitted. I like the story I came up with, but man was it tough getting it all into 5 pages. Let's just say I'm not expecting rave reviews.

This sucks. I'm really happy with what I wrote, which means you're all going to hate it. Dammit.

Submitted.

BTW, when I went to submit, it said "Script submissions are closed for the Writers' Tournament." Kinda freaked me out thinking I was too late. You might want to check your wording!

So will the writers be revealed at the end of each round or at the end of the tournament?

The writers for each script will be revealed after the voting for that round ends. The scores will remain private until the end, but will be added to each script individually, as well as the overall scores added to the leaderboard.

I prefer shame eventually and shame always, personally. Sounds friendlier. =)
