Probably a wise move.

Roll on the next round. Curious how hard it will be...

It's interesting, I have no idea how to mark the entries.

For example, I marked Iron Egg as a VG. Now when I try to recall the entries, Iron Egg seems to have the most impact on me. And at the same time, I thought some other scripts were kind of finished work when I don't think the same of the Iron Egg.

Sorry, Iron Egg writer. Might look like I'm tickling you - just taken with the visuals in the script. (and it might be not the right place to discuss individual scripts, but the threads are locked, so..)

@Anthony, I remember that post but you weren't very explicit in it, so I don't know which entries you were talking about.

But some people are smarter than me, haha.

@Kham - yep was leaving clues/teasing and then the voting thing became a thing...

And you are pretty good at guessing script to writers... a lot better than me!

It seems things get in motion again. Nice.

Is anybody else interested if some of their choices or favorites belong to the same writer?

Definitely interested if there's some pattern between stuff that convinced me and those which not entirely did. Like, will I find one of my least favorites together with with stuff I found stellar, written by same person?

Therefore, from my sight, it would be really cool if the hosts can serve a clear arranged result of who wrote what.

Yeah, on another note, if I get it right, Don and Sean received each and every scoring, which is great, actually wouldn't have thought that. An impressive proof of the care the readers have with regards to their colleagues. We all get a big solidarity bonus, folks.  

It also seems the hosts have chosen the perfect way to fix it through this break.

Enough flowers... The big task will be to get back this crazy tension we had and bring it into the semis.

You remaining guys were relaxing for too long now :-)

I don't think the extra wait has been relaxing at all. The boards might have been quieter, but it's been a tense wait and still is.

Haha, good to hear. Nobody said it would be easy ;-)

I got a feeling the challenge will re-launch soon when the results are online-

Just thinking about the new stakes to go

So far we had

round 1: topic and genre bound script 5 pages max
round 2: different celebrations with specific body count 8 pages
round 3: three one-pagers of different genre each

I'm with Warren not found it relaxing at all!

I'm pretty sure I'm out this round, which could be a blessed relief!

The original (broken) voting system kept track of who voted to prevent double-voting, but it did not keep track of the individual ratings. That’s why they had to have everyone vote again.

The backup voting system did need to reveal individual votes to Don at least.


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.

To everyone, the votes were tallied by Don and confirmed by myself. I'm in the process of posting up the results now. Thank you, everyone, for your patience.

Yeah, I know, I revoted myself. I meant that it's great that people seemed to care and revoted again, at least there was a comment of Don that the majority did, I believe to have read somewhere...

So, I wrote the mess that was Iron Egg: Origins.

I have since rewritten it, to address the obvious shortcomings. (I counted four major errors in one page. Ugh.) I also wrote a 2-page version of the script, because I just flat love that little guy.

For the record: it was supposed to be a Marvel-inspired (Iron Man) Easter story, based on Humpty Dumpty, told as a superhero origin story.

Also, my original idea was to base all 3 scripts on nursery rhymes. I ditched it when I realized the scripts would be posted individually.

For anyone that cares: here's a link to the rewrite, plus the 2-pager, plus the Jack and Jill script that I decided not to enter (all but the 2-pager are in the trilogy pdf): http://www.paulkwrites.com/writers-tournament-entries.html

Thanks for all the great comments!
