So for voting it's going to be 1 to 5 in dialog, story, prose, ummm... what else?


Single 1-5, catch-all. For reference, Marnie, MoviePoet-style.

Only read three so far but bloody hell. I'm impressed. Considering the constraints, time being a major one, these are excellent.

Also, is it just me? I have to keep going back and checking the elements used to makes sure they are in there. I keep forgetting what ones they say they are going to use.

Not just you, Mark.
A few clever people have written the elements on their title pages.
I think that's a nifty idea for successive weeks.

Do we find out who missed their entries each round?

Is it just 1 in this week?

Great job, Don, getting these up so fast.  Very impressive!!!

So, not to hijack the thread (but I am), I rewrote "In the Red", a OWC from back in Oct. 2016, had it illustrated and our favorite host (my man Don!) posted it today on the home page.

Check it out if you need a quick distraction: https://www.simplyscripts.com/2020/07/07/in-the-red-by-john-staats-produced/

So, we're supposed to write these scripts over the weekend?  For 4 weeks in a row?

That ain't how I spend my weekends.  Sadly, I'm going to bow out, as this is not what I thought I signed up for.

Which bit of the below from the Intro thread (June 18th) was confusing Jeff?

"Scripts are to be submitted by 11:59PM on July 6th and each of the four following Sundays, at the same time."
