Wow.  Looks like a bit of a shut-out happening.  But what if C is the red herring?


All due respect, and I suppose it makes it entertaining, but why did you even allow the ring-in?

Kinda defeating the purpose of the one on one imo. Anyone could just throw one in the ring and it's a diff. ball game then.

I figured I'd give the red herring a try because lots of people were complaining it was too easy to guess whose was whose.   I think it's less easy now.   The red herring can't win the challenge, it can just take votes - so it's still only Ray vs Ryan.

Hmm. Not bad reasoning.  Long as there's only three, good thinking.

For me A and C were somewhat alike but A was somewhat simpler, no fancy characters. I like fancy but the simpler the better...

Good job for writing from the hard logline. I thought about writing something for this (just as an exercise) but nothing came to mind.

A was okay, B didn't do much for me, C was good.


Be excellent to each other

I guess its cool as long as Ryan and Ray are fine with it. But, I didn't like the Red Herring idea neither. Better not be you Cornetto!

I voted C because it was the most fun, Though I didn't see it as lopsided as the voting is showing. Again, I didn't think either were particularly good, Don't expect to.

I couldn't write a script in a few hours that's going to light someone's trousers on fire.

Very solid writing on short notice Ryan. That boy and his keyboard are dangerous.

Those were just Greg's guesses.  Who wrote what has not yet been announced.

If Ryan wrote either A or B, there's something rotten and rotting in Denmark...

My bad. C was very well written. A and B showed more of the time constraint, very understandable. Not bad work, just rushed.

Whoever wrote C, for just a day or two's work, nice work!

I'd bet A and B were written in less than an hour's time...between the 2 of them!

Uh O...I feel a delete coming up...

I think other challenges were lighter and more fun.

And writing off the logline (any logline) is very hard I think, I've never done it... and with this logline - probably won't be able to come up with anything if it was me.
Although I enjoyed the entries submitted to other two challenges more actually. Probably it was easier as they had more freedom. Also, I really liked the two hour bracket, two hours - crazy but doable.

Personally, I liked these entries.  They better reflected the writing of the authors.   Plus the stories had a bit more meat.    

The two hour contests had timing problems because of the different locations people are in.  This allows for more and different competitors.

Sure writing from a logline is hard but it is an appropriate real life writing exercise.
