Dammit, saw a few typos, edited and submitted again. Not looking at it now until it goes up. I'm really done now.

Well, now I am panicking lol - I want to get an entry in as I don't like not finishing what I started, I want to see it through.

But, it's amazing how, in your head, an idea can be great, but turns to absolute bullshit as soon as it is written down lol

looks like it's going to be another late night, wine fueled entry

Finally! just written FADE OUT on round 5... holy crap was this tournament a bigger challenge than I had ever expected.

This last entry was the most rushed, the most drink fueled, the most uninspired piece of word vomit I have ever produced... but I did it, and I am strangely proud that I have managed to complete the entire challenge.

Well done to everyone who has entered, entirely or partially, this challenge. I have learned a lot from you guys, it has (mostly) been super fun, and I wish you all the best of luck with your new scripts - it will make me immensely happy if I see atleast one of these produced.

Forgive me if you don't see me around here much after this... I'll be sleeping

Congratulations on finishing, Mathew. It's a marathon for sure. You did a great job, got a couple of excellent scripts out of the deal and earned some bragging rights along the way.

Can't wait to see what you came up with this round.

For the record, I'm editing my entry as we speak.

It's either a load of garbage, or pretty good. I seriously can't tell which. I can only guarantee it is nothing in between.

1.15 am UK and i've just submitted... phew!

Have lost all sense of perspective on wether my last script is rubbish or merely average

Have enjoyed the challenge though, the 72 hour window has been brutal but I'm happy I stayed the course.

Well done to all!

Well...it's been five weeks of mediocrity for this cowboy. Riding that flatline between seven and thirteen. I just submitted another meh short for your dissection. Serenity now.

It's amazing how a good story can be just obliterated by the focus of just a line or two of dialog.

Damn it.

Funny, Warren.   Don't we all love the candour and anonymity of these challenges.
...
I'm not going to make the deadline. Yes, I know, you're all with baited breath at that announcement... After ditching my second idea last night for a third brainstorm this morning there's not enough time to finish. I might finish it later without being hamstrung by the handsaw.

Gonna be mighty curious how you all weaved that in.
Carry on.
Sadly,  out here.

I went with a broken down car made entirely out of handsaws.


Oops. I’ve said too much.

OMG, I'm laughing so hard at the both of us on this one. I went back and read my review...sorry, mate. I think that's one of the harshest I've ever written! Maybe I was riding that rum-runner highball, who knows. But seriously, I would expect more from you!
