This was great! I really enjoyed it. Good work with the prompts - I especially loved the use of the whip. It was so interesting how we were never really sure where Christian is coming from. Is he good or bad? Excellent job!

One tiny nit: It looks like your entry was a copy-and-paste of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey in its entirety, with nothing changed. Fifty Shades is prose, which means some of the formatting may have been a little off for a screenplay (at least, I think! I am new to this and not an expert!). Oh, and at 514 pages, you were a shade over the five-page limit for this competition, which might count against you.

But this is minor! Excellent work again, and good luck with the judges - not that you'll need it!

Sadly, this sounds cheerfully close to a review I could write. 

Wow.

10/10, would get whipped again.
