It is definitely a drama, as my life has been for the last 24 hours. Not least of all because NYC. don't accept final draft doc's and for some reason they also rejected my word doc, which had to be copied, pasted and re-tabbed in word when it blew out of final draft, (inhales deeply). Then eventually with 13 (obviously) minutes to go my dramatic script loaded as a pdf. Now just filled with trepidation to see if the whole process was worth it and if the drama lives up to the script!

Anyway, rant over; I got: group 31 - Drama / A Horse Jockey / learning to read and write

First of all, AWESOME logline! Can't wait for a chance to read it. (If you were to share it with us, of course.)

But I feel your pain!

I have a reflexive dislike of PDF files because when they are shared in Google Drive they have this wonky interface that puts black bars at the top and bottom with NOT HELPFUL RIGHT NOW navigation controls, and try as I might I can't dismiss them. I actually downloaded an app that converts them to a readable document format.

I dinked around with a few programs, all which can import/export Final Draft content, and ended up with a mix of Fade In and Writer Duet. (Fade In for writing, and Writer Duet for final PDF because my copy of Fade In is still the demo version.) When I purchase Fade In, I think I'll use just that.

Best of luck with the judges! And remember, life is what happens when you're still planning for life.
Pithy sayings are for the apt. For a longer message, you need a condo.

I would have avoided using the word "secret" twice.  But I think it has a zero chance of hurting your entry.

R1|GR19 - Fantasy | Faking an Injury | A Sailor

Redamntion
Love between an angel and a succubus can last centuries, if they don't destroy each other.

***

     Okay, so I had this nice start on a sweet story about an orc sailor who fakes an injury to get out of joining the war so he can see more of his son.  However, I ended with an erotic-ish fantasy where a succubus fondles an archangel.

     I'm thinking those pictures in the Dungeons & Dragons manuals of my youth are still kicking around in my id somewhere equating fantasy to hot monster.  Let me know if I'm beyond psychological and/or literary redress.

Cheers & Good Luck All!

Soldiered on with my most dreaded genre- Political Satire/ A fundraiser/ a furniture mover. Fairly certain what I submitted was absolutely wretched, but I'm glad I finished. Not quitting is my big achievement here. Plus, I ran out of cares to give and used of my favorite absurd words in my title.

The Snollygosters' Ball

A small town jack of all trades is a fish out of water at a fancy D.C. fundraiser, but he may be more welcome than he imagines.

These are sounding great! Can't wait to read some of the completed scripts. Here's my two cents for Heat 34: Spy / Mail Forwarding / A Loan Officer:

Western Heights

An introverted loan officer, on the brink of redundancy, decides to follows the instructions of a series of anonymous emails; becoming progressively more involved in an obscure conspiracy.
