Do we submit Week 2 travesties on same link as week 1?


All travesties are expected to use the same submission link, yes.

Submitted mine. I actually think it's a good idea and I did what I could in five pages but I am definitely going to be revisiting this and turning it into the ten pages the idea really deserved!

I also think, as per usual with some of my ideas, people won't quite get it, but I will use the feedback to figure this out for the second draft.

I can’t do better with mine either. So the only other option is to not submit but I can’t do that.

But look at the plus side - I got your backs!

I probably will add a few pages to my entry after this, since I already had to cut out a page to get within the five page limit, and I think the script might have suffered for it.  
I'm still debating if I want to rearrange some scenes. And I did notice a mall but noticeable error, so I'll resub by the end of the day anyway.

I do hope that reviewers are a little more chilled this time

it's fine not to like a story, or that it doesn't work for you etc, but I hope we appreciate the challenge everyone faced and that a perfect combination of the elements is not required.

well, do that for my script

you can roast the others

yes, yes and yes.
what a difference one extra line and one line zapped away can make.
bah
it's probably still a trainwreck

The thing is I'm sort of not against mine this time. I don't know why my daughter is so much against it. I knew exactly what was wrong with the other one. It was sort of obvious.

Oh, anyway. I'll wait a couple of hours just in case and submit

I'm coming to think that the sweet spot for telling a layered short opens up around page 7 or 8. 5 is just a tad tight.

I know my first-rounder would have really come to life with 2 more pages. As it was, it felt thin. I think the same of many of the other first-rounders. Good idea, good script. Just needed a tad more depth.
