Some good things here to maybe extend your scope.

Thanks for the fair reply,  Sean.

Thing is I think your method is nifty but I think you should take the blindfold off.

Thanks for clarifying re the plane btw.
And now I'll ponder...

I feel like I can already see a whole lot of WWII scripts.

ARGH...so obvious what will come of this, and as Libby said, highly unlikely any of these scripts don't get thrown away, as quickly as they can be.

Can't wait to read these...NOT!!!!

Woah, you promised to make it easier, Sean!

Well, my mom arrives to the US tomorrow and then other things are in the way like school and applying to jobs... Too bad for me. But after seeing the requirements I'm relieved. It's a tough requirement, really really tough.

Well, good luck to those who stick around. I envy you if you come up with something. Some great writers here.

I'm already mapping out something exciting. The setting, the location(s), the all-important hand sanitizer...just got to decide which horror angle to go with. There are so many...

I have faith in the writers in this tournament. You've all surprised me so far, I expect more of the same this time around.

I can't tell if you're joking or not?

This is an incredibly hard set of criteria to work with. I really can't see there being too many memorable scripts this round, mine incududed.

No, really. If you discard the most obvious ideas, some real gold bubbles to the surface. I love what I have so far, it's shaping up to be a real gritty horror.

Maybe I've said too much. If mine is the only gritty horror...

And I think this is the first time I've quoted myself.

This one should be easy. The hand sanitiser is merely an object that must be in the story, it doesn't claim that it must play a large part. Reviewers should consider being more generous to each other during this round on the object.

Mind you, criteria is either a yes or a no... I was going to suggest giving top marks to those that use the object more effectively, but in the current set-up that doesn't work. With a yes or a no, I would have to give out a Yes to only those who used the object as part of the story and not an aside.


Loving Rene's enthusiasm... reminds me of myself when I have a great idea. I then write it and I'm like... meh.

Okay, I have an idea. Don't know if it's one of the obvious choices or not, but it's probably as good as it's going to get. Will mull it over for a day or so and see how it feels.

I have no clue what the obvious ideas with this are either.

Also, surely the sanitizer  (as in prev rounds) can't be just a token aside. It is the object. I doubt very much (again, based on prev rounds) reviewers will go easy on it not being pivotal. Jmh.

P.S. I love Rene and Rick's bravado, and now Warren too. Well done, chaps.
