13 scripts:

3 Horror
3 Sci-fi
3 Comedy
2 Historical
2 Action/Adventure (one of which marked just as Action)

I did it at the beginning and end to see the favorite genres. If we did leave the least favorite to the end.
Western and Crime were in the lead as I recall.

Mystery and adventure basically depend on twistiness that’s nigh impossible to fit into five pages. I would have thought that crime would have to be simple at five pages, but I’ve been proven wrong on that one by the scripts here.

That anything remotely coherent came out of these variables in 72 hours (and in many cases a lot less) is amazing. Well done Sean and Sean’s victims!


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

The Mystery genre deserves to be kicked up the arse, clipped over the ears, wrapped up in a box and sent under duress to Kansas so Baltis can ensure it sucks goat nips for eternity

I think this WT has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the best genre for 5 pages is the aptly named, nonexistent genre.

I can't believe this WT is all but over! This was the best time I've had burning up five weeks of humdrum. Now we just have to wait for the fat lady to sing!

I guess this is one of those fantasy rooms. Don't understand the resort and dance studio switch. Characters were good and action was well described. Locations confused me though.
