I just didn't take Jeff for someone who enters competitions. I hope he does well and there better not be any formatting errors!!  ;D

Just kidding. Well done, Jeff. Whoever you have tied up in the basement is doing a great job.

Forgot I entered tbh.


Realised the script I sent in was all fucked up as well, so no chance I'll progress....but bit of fun.

Yes, Congrats to all who advanced, and to those who didn't advance, remember, it's all a matter of opinion.

I decided to enter on that earlybird special, after reading a bunch of posts on another thread, and thought, what the fuck...why not?

I also entered "No Meat" and "Of Cannibals and Cabins" in the short section, but for some odd reason, they didn't move forward.   ;D ;D ;D

Good luck to all.  Let's keep the SS ship floating forward with another winner this year.

PS - Bert, please send  1, any, all of those girls my way.  Any babe that enjoys Jagie, while sitting in a bathtub with other babes, is exactly my kind of gal.

Thanks guys - and congrats to all the other SS QFs that made the cut!!  Fingers crossed we all make SF, as well.  But it's an honor just to be nominated...  :P

Am so tickled for all of you!
Be very proud of yourself -- PAGE is a prestigious contest.

Way to go SS!  :)

...being slow and dim, I didn't see this-- congrats all & I hope you do well -- and Jeff, what script did you enter?
Posted by: Grandma Bear, July 16th, 2015, 5:48pm; Reply: 22
Jeff entered Unforgettable and Rick entered Bone Deep. Both made the QFs.

Both of those were originally written for a 7WC. The 7WC also gave me two produced features! I think Khamanna has interest in one of hers as well. Maybe we should do another 7WC soon? The last one was a year ago.

I like that idea Pia... That is where Quarantine Island got its start as did others that are in the works for me. :) It forces me to keep a goal/schedule and these days working full time it's harder to feel like writing.
Posted by: Forgive, July 16th, 2015, 7:07pm; Reply: 24
Yeah, I've never done a 7WC. I'd throw my hat into the ring, but it's quite a task isn't it?

Dena, sorry, I forgot!!! You had Dead Cell too, from a 7WC as well!

See, they work!  :)

Yes, but that's the point. A lot of times, as a writer for hire, you only get a couple or three weeks to  write a first draft. Sure, most of these scripts are rough early drafts, but once you receive a lot of feedback, you know where to take the rewrites.  :)

It's both harder, and easier, than trying to write one in your own time.

Time can get really pressing, but it also gives you a drive and motivation that you don't always have at your own speed.

I can say categorically it will improve you as a writer.

If I can do it, you can do it. I am a very slow writer, usually.

Congratulations, everyone! I'm relatively new to SS, but I'm already blown away by all the talent on here. Hope to see more of these names in the semifinals!

Congrats Scar, eldave, and Mr. Z. Rooting for all of you, although probably with a little more bias towards eldave's The Last Stateman. Enjoyed reading it a fair amount some time ago. ;) Good luck!

Great to see, guys!

Rick, didn't have to look far to see your name. :) Handy picking a title high up in the alphabet.

All the best to the three of you.

Congrats, Rick, Dave, and Mr. Z!  Awesome!!

Just got back from a pool party, wasted, hot as shit, and drunk as a skunk.  My flag got squashed.

Keep it going, guys!!!!

I see Z man has two in there as well!

I've read those two and Rick's. Have not read Dave's. All I can say is...this will be a nail biter!!! Good luck to all of you!  8)

Yeah...and commiserations to those that didn't make the cut.

Re-write submitted. It's a pretty polished script now, so whatever happens I can't complain.
