Congratulations Paul, very well done.

Congrats Paul! Great scripts throughout!

And congrats to everyone else, tough challenge and some great writing on display!

Congrats, Paul. You did it!!!

Well done Paul!  And good job to the other dudes and all who entered.

Job well done, Paul, and to Don and Sean and all you got through this grueling torunament

Congrats to all winners!
Paul hands down earned it, he�s been going strong in every round!
I love reading all the writers on top. And, Marnie, your last script is the best in the tournament for me)


Don and Sean, how amazing are you?!

Thanks all!

I was mentally prepared for my 3rd straight 2nd place finish (writer's tournament).

What a group of writers! Would have been happy to finish behind any of ya! That said... I'm very proud to have finally taken the top spot. I was gonna have to go all Moby Dick on this thing if I didn't. :)

Now I can sleep without dreaming of AC, Mark, John and Marnie sneaking up on me.

I demand a recount! I mean, well done, Paul. Congratulations!

Quoted from PKCardinal I was gonna have to go all Moby Dick on this thing if I didn't. :) .

Moby what?
@c (Matilda)

Well deserved Paul. And you were breathing down his neck, partner!

Great job top 4...and everyone!

Thanks for sqeeeeeeeeeezing my name in there, Don. Lol

Quoted from khamanna Moby what? @c (Matilda)

I've already been boat shopping. Bought me a sweet harpoon. 360 days to hunt the 2021 Tournament... now I don't have to. Which is good, because I would have almost certainly pulled a Gregory Peck: ended up all twisted in the rope, my arm flapping lifelessly as Sean pulled me under for the last time.



I'm a little euphoric right now. It's possible I'm not making any sense at all.

Quoted from PKCardinal Now I can sleep without dreaming of AC, Mark, John and Marnie sneaking up on me.

You know, they don't need a tournament to sneak up on you ;)

Quoted from FrankM You know, they don't need a tournament to sneak up on you ;)

Yeah, happy for you, Paul. Me? Maniacal rage is starting to seethe.

Quoted from JEStaats Yeah, happy for you, Paul. Me? Maniacal rage is starting to seethe.

This is a good time to point out that Paul isn't my real name. It's Dave, and I live in Southern California. I think. I'll have to check. Not Kansas, though. Definitely not Kansas.

Well deserved all.
Congrats, PK!
And lovely to see the female contingent represented in the top bunch.

Well done, PK

You seem to rise to the top of the pile in these challenges a lot, much congrats.

And well done to all who stuck it out, these tournaments are tough going!

Hi Paul,

Would you please forward to me, via PM, a mailing address where you can receive a package, say something the size of a package that one would received containing ones unsolicited script sent out that has been sent back to you with a rejection letter attached?

Thanks,

Don

Haha! Very good, Don. No cat's head, then?
Must be a different prize. Ooh.

I think my wife is about to get a very wrong impression of what SimplyScripts is all about.

Gulp...

Or one big enough to hold a thong.

Atta go, Paul - nice!

Quoted from eldave1 Atta go, Paul - nice!

Thanks Dave! And Mathew. And everyone else.

I wonder if Sell It Sally and Inverted Jenny should consider a crossover?

Quoted from MarkRenshaw I wonder if Sell It Sally and Inverted Jenny should consider a crossover?

Haha! I'm sure Sally could teach Jenny a thing or two about getting what she wants in life.

Perhaps Mark...
Milly, Molly and Mandy could join them for a girl's night?

Well done Paul and all those that did all five weeks

And thanks to Sean and Don for this

It was good to take part as much as I could

Quoted from LC Haha! I'm sure Sally could teach Jenny a thing or two about getting what she wants in life. Perhaps Mark... Milly, Molly and Mandy could join them for a girl's night?

;D

Just received my "prize." Not what I expected, thank God. :)

Thank you Don, Sean and gang!!!

As soon as I clean my bad self up, I'll take a picture. Right now I look like a screenwriter mid-pandemic.

Related note... I'll be changing my profile pic soon. :)

I wanted to come and apologize for disappearing for so long, right when everyone was crossing the finish line. What a hell of a time, right? Needless to say, time didn't allow it and, by the time it did, you were all already two weeks past the ending.

However, it goes without saying that I'm proud of all of you for participating. This Challenge was designed, literally, to be as difficult as it possibly could be. It was fun coming up with all those insane things (the objects, at least. The other two were a hell of a lot more difficult than I expected them to be).

Just wanted to get my two cents in for everyone and I hope you enjoyed yourselves (but not too much). =)

Also, Sean… there appears to be a rogue communiqué between Don and the Mods via the previous challenge?

Any page, hit your ‘end’ key and let your eyes drift to the left bottom corner…

Unleeees, it’s a hidden gem from the webmaster as to some strange future event?

Or… an orphan, lol. Just got me curious is all.

Gum,

Thanks for the heads up. I forgot to remove it.  I have removed it, but for historical purposes, this was an 'astrisk' on my comment at the top of the page, "Everything is fine and this is going according to plan*"

at the bottom of the page I had, "*No, it isn't"

- Don

Ah! case cracked. T'was just being curious to point it out, I figured you might have been up to something, err… bohemian, lol.

It was the best of times,  it was the worst of times.  I had an absolute blast! Thank you so much for organising this.

Thanks Sean, was a great challenge... when's the next one? ;-)

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Thanks Sean, was a great challenge... when's the next one? ;-)

Whenever someone else decides to run it. Lol.

;-)

Thanks to Don and Blondie for keeping my shoehorning skills up to date in July  ;D ::)

I finally have a photo of the tournament prize.

Unfortunately, I'm too dumb to know how to post it. I've sent a message to Don for instruction.

Once he edumacates me, I'll post it.

Until then, I hope you enjoy my new avatar!

Alrighty... if anyone still cares...

I think, with Don's help, I should be able to post a pic.

Drum roll, please...




And, there it is! My face-based SimplyScripts pandemic safety device.

Special thanks to Marnie, whom I'm guessing is responsible for making/procuring the high-class face covering.

Looking at the picture, I see that I have failed to pinch the schnoz protector. I shall commence to rectifying that particular deficiency.

Great pic!

Want one!

Great mug-shot, PK!

Ant, I'm pretty sure you can actually buy one.
Hang on, gotta see where Don put a link...

Marnie makes them!

I can vouch for the quality!

Thanks Libby (and Paul for modelling)... going to add one of those to my mask collection ;-)

Thanks, Paul. Perfect plague year prize! Lol
