Submitted. Please forgive me.

Quoted from Zack Submitted. Please forgive me.

If it’s full of shit jokes, I’ll forgive you.

Geez, with all the fear and loathing of this round, I'm starting to feel pretty good about my entry. But, alas, I felt pretty good before the last round, too.

I'm tired and so I have submitted whatever it is I have. It's not too bad, I don't think... I never know with you people - You will either praise the effort or you will chase me from SS, never to return again... I can never tell.

I promise to be super nice to everyone in my reviews, because this was bloody tough! The first round had the freedom of genre which made it so much easier - but taking a sewer, and a whistle and trying to formulate a complete story in five pages... oh and by the way, make it funny... it nearly killed me!

Well done to everyone who submitted something - I look forward to seeing the story children your brains have birthed.

Quoted from Zack You gonna get your girlfriend's approval before you submit? I'm curious what her reaction to your sewer comedy will be.

Yes, I actually am going to.  Oh God...why do I do this to myself?

Finished!

I like it...alot.  That means, you guys will hate it...alot!

Now to go back and see what I actually wrote.

Well...Teri read it...didn't laugh once, handed me back the script, and said, "It's good...much better than your last one."  I asked her if it was funny, cuz she didn't laugh once.  She said, "yeah, it's funny, but I don't feel good.  Good job."

So, I think that's actually high praise!  HA!  We'll soon see...

Yes, it is.

What boggles the mind is how you’ve subjected her to so many prior scripts that she hated, yet you two are still together.

From her point of view, it’s like dating someone whose hobby is blasting air horns in people’s ears.

Okay, I'm ready now.

And go...

Strangely, she actually really likes alot of my scripts.  She seems to have a problem with graphic violence, nudity for the sake of it, and overt swearing and sexual references.

I tried to keep all to a minimum this time around, and with some clever editing, this thing could be PG 13...maybe.

Glad to hear that.

So, SS generally only hears about her reaction when it's hugely negative.

Though now I'm curious what "minimal graphic violence" looks like

Well...that's a great question.  I guess, like less than 6 seconds of graphic violence per every, like...uh...4 minutes and 30 seconds of runtime?

Yeah, that's minimal graphic violence...maybe, or kind of, in a way, right?

Yes, I think that's the standard for a TV-Y7 rating on broadcast. Have to keep it under four seconds if you want a TV-Y rating

Only 20 out of 25 writers took part in round one. I wonder how many will enter a script for round 2? My money says fewer will be in this round. Writing comedy is brutal.

Can people that didn’t write in round 1 participate in round 2?
