The nice thing about the character prompt is it doesn't need to be the main character, and just has to have something to do with the story, but not be the main focus! You’re probably overthinking it!

Submitted with about 15 minutes to deadline . . . whew! This was a tough slog for me. Didn't get anything written until late Thursday, when I wrote all of 2 pages. Not good. Got a few more pages done yesterday, unsure of how I was going to end the story. Finally got some inspiration for the ending today, and cranked it out. Not my best, but done > not done, and that's all that matters!

Submitted about 3am this morning. 
I thought about changing the age range for my characters but since all they seem to want to do is put Zendaya into romances, I'm going with 20s. 

I wish they'd report the completion numbers. They never do but it would be nice to know how many out of 27 in my group actually completed. What was my rank? Was I number 6 and just missed the cutoff? Or was I dead last and maybe this genre just isn't for me.

I don't know if they're trying to spare our feelings by not telling us or if they genuinely don't keep track. I would love to know and would even pay extra for ranking info.

I miss that Coverfly used to get us that info.

Yeah, but in a couple of days we can post our scripts in the forum here. That is always a lot of fun.

I doubt you'll get the ranking info, but as for drop-out rates, assume 20%-25% (the cost may put it nearer 18-20%, thinking about it). So 21-22 probably submitted. (I'm going by the rate on other competitions and factoring cost.)
