Quoted from khamanna I looked at my entry and must tell that this "WT" next to it is seriously missing an F.

Very funny, Miss K!

Quoted from Stumpzian Very funny, Miss K!

Nice entry you've got up there, Stump. Mine got everyone's back though so in a way it's a soul healer.

Yours is just as nice. And to think you considered not submitting...Ha!

I have a feeling I'm going to get annihilated this round. My competitor's script is just too good to compete with.

Quoted from ajr Did Sean not say "all or the vast majority" of your script has to take place in the celebration setting?

He did.

But, he also said that if the readers feel that is a detriment to their enjoyment of the script, to grade them accordingly. That way, everyone gets an out. If the writer wants to risk it and spend some time away from the location, they can do that, but the reader might not be quite so forgiving.

Then the body count will be off by one and your opponent will be disqualified.

Unless you're in one of the 4+ brackets. Then you're screwed.

Am I the only one that thinks Prom Night didn't fulfill the parameters?

Over the page count.

Story doesn't mostly take place at the prom.  Hell, we're barely even in the prom.

Who dies?  And since he relives the day, does that even count?

Don't get me wrong, I died from sugar death in the other oner.  But at least it followed the parameters.

I'm having a similar struggle with the graduation ceremonies. Neither one gives the celebration itself much screen time.

Yes publicly.  In PM vast majority isn't mentioned.  I'm happy I managed the PM requirements, just not the forum requirements.  I almost had to withdraw because of this target.  It's better to submit something than nothing at all.  If I receive one vote I'll be happy.

I’ve read a few but will start reviewing soon. I have noticed the difference in script quality compared to the first round. Kind of surprising given the criteria were way easier than most in the previous. I think the open genre and extra pages has caused this. Anyway I’ll read on lol

That seems to be the consensus. I'm not sure what happened, too many good scripts up against each other last round? Eliminating good writers? I've read a few that standouts here, but a lot of people again say that the parameters weren't really met this time around.

Any scripts get an automatic pass the first round?

Quoted from TheUsualSuspect Any scripts get an automatic pass the first round?

Three.

Finished reading and voting. Kudos to everyone for getting something submitted with no one bailing or forfeiting.

A couple all-star scripts and quite a few turkeys! Not sure what happened with this challenge. The themes with open genre seemed pretty simple and straight forward. Easy for me to say sitting on the side-lines.

Good luck!

Personally, not a fan of discussing specific scripts on a general thread - that's why they have their own thread.

Just over half way through - gonna take a brief break.

First general reactions:

- The overall quality was down a bit from round 1 in my opinion (at least so far)

- Have seen a few real solid ones - sadly two of them are in the same bracket.

- The number of deaths required is really the story driver for this one - not quite sure how to word it, but it changes the nature of the stories being told. i.e., one person dying at an event has such logistics than several people dying at an event.

- Congrats to all who submitted and continued luck
