Quoted from ReneC


I'd like to think so, but it's becoming more and more mythical. Practically an urban legend now.


Haha... nice one.

Car. Sean, can we extend this to vehicle of some sort?

Quoted from ReneC
A handsaw is the most un-sci-fi thing...what the serious fuck.

This is going to be a gong show.


I mean, duct tape I could understand in a sci-fi story... it can fix just about anything. But if you thought the hand sanitizer felt shoe-horned into stories, just watch out for this next batch.

I had a great idea this morning, then I re-read the criteria and it evaporated ;-(

Back to the drawing board.

Think I'm gonna bow out for the final round. Nothing is coming to me for the parameters and I don't want to put out another crap show like my round 4 script. I'll still try to read as much as I can. Thanks for doing this, Sean and Don. It's been fun. Good luck, everyone.

Come on Zack, you can see this thing through! I know which round 4 entry is yours and considering you said it was 1 hours work, it's far from a crap show. The premise is fine, if you had more time to fine tune it would be the kind of story I would really enjoy.

Not entirely. Road vehicle, four wheels. Beyond that, you're at the reviewers' mercy.

Some cars have three wheels.  

Sober Rene's got this.

Thanks for the encouragement, Dude. If an idea hits me, I'll run with it. The broken down vehicle is no issue, but I have no idea how to incorporate a hacksaw with out it feeling shoe-horned in. There are only some many uses for a hacksaw, and when you factor in the sci-fi genre, this round is particularly brutal. As of right now, I'm totally stumped.

If it helps, the criteria is “handsaw” which could be a hacksaw, coping saw, keyhole saw, etc.

If the story is set on Tralfamadore, you might be able to sneak by someone saying “my hand saw that.”
