I know the requirement says "your last line of dialog should contain" but it doesn't even have to be the very last line. I wrote it like that for clarity. If you have it as the last line all the better. And if Steven has a scene after that - that's okay. The point was to have it at the end for a specific reason. I'll talk about it later when the entries are in. I'll make sure to go through the entries as soon as possible and leave a comment about the RIP's in them.

Luckily in my story the RIP line at the end makes perfect sense. I think some people are trying to relate RIP to the phobia itself...which would obviously make things harder.
Last line of dialogue okay IMO if it is substantially near the end of the story. If it is the last line of dialogue but followed by a three page non dialogue scene, you might get questioned.
For me, the spirit of the rule was to have it at the end. My own parameters are going to be that at minimum, RIP has to be in the last full page and ideally somewhere in the last third of the last page. Nor will I accept derivatives (e.g., piece vs. peace, arrest vs. rest, etc.) - but that's just my view of the guidelines.

My "rest in peace" is the last piece of dialogue. The story ends after the next scene which is only three two-line action lines and there is no dialogue.
Still sitting at ZERO written words, but I'm getting close to ready to start.
I should be able to pull this off and get it in tomorrow.
That's good Jeff. This Jeff, however, will not make it in time. Couldn't get my story down good enough. I will be reading them though. Maybe next time.

I'm too busy working on stuff for these two films Dena and I made, so unfortunately, I cannot take part. However, if anyone needs a read either prior or after posted for the OWC, hit me up. I'll try to read during breaks from this other stuff.
