Awesome is the word. Thanks, Don!
Thanks, Blondie for the continuing torture.

Hmm, no horror genre this time around.
Saving till last maybe?

Couldn't agree more. It's either going to be a whole lot of horror and sci fi or...Skinimax type stuff.

I've been so giddy with excitement for what you guys do with the week 4 and 5 themes. 3 is a bit easier, but with limited options (although most of you did seem to play it smart and save the easier genres for later. Props for that), it should be a-tanker-truck-filled-with-human-waste-exploding-in-front-of-the-Pokemon-factory levels of fun.

So excited. =)

Wow, a Baltis reference! Was he real? I thought I dreamed him.

Oh and I don't know who's figured this out yet but by week 5 there will be a 50% chance of each writer being guessed. Actually, higher than that, if you look at which teams have used which genres.

Anonymity gone.

God help us all...

Yes, lol. And those who will write 'blank here' next time will be figured out! Crime is all gone I suppose.

Hopefully we are past all that. Or are we. Hmm.

I can hear Sean laugh, I swear. You, Sheldon you

Finished

Some great stuff in there considering the time, space and parameters. Really good variation.

What is now increasingly clear to me, which could be age but is more likely a lack of writing over the past few years, is that I have lost that ability to spot the problems in my script, perhaps like I used to.

Mind you, the time limitation hasn't helped.

So, my goal, which is going to be tricky to pull off, is to try and get a better score with each script as I get used to writing again.  

Actually, I've just checked the criteria left - what a stupid idea  




My scripts  HERE

The Elevator Most Belonging To Alice - Semi Final Bluecat, Runner Up Nashville
Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.  Third - Honolulu
Ultimate Weapon - Fresh Voices - second place

Lol, Bill. I still remember some of your stuff from long time ago. Like Ultimate Weapon and there's no way I'll ever forget Alice. So, I don't know  - I wish I written those and then forgot how to write.
