Came down to the wire on this one—submitted with 26 mins to spare. As soon as the prompts dropped, work exploded for me and consumed every evening I should have been writing. Thanks to my 30-min bus rides to and from work and a couple hours of free time on Saturday I was able to pull off a Swashbuckler! Whew.

First duel was fun, read two good and very different Westerns that made great use of their object prompts.
Max, in both cases the ‘read in new tab’ did not work. Was able to read both by clicking ‘Download.’

Yes, both the scripts I judged downloaded on to my comp as well. Go on the site and let Max know, I did.

Hi @Dark&StormyNight and @Suave,
Thanks for giving me a heads up about this. I messaged you both on the site, but I will give a longer explanation here -- I had to change the buttons because with the new creative writing competitions, there are two ways to read a story. However, with PDFs -- you just download them and the browser will open them in a new tab. I noticed what you are both describing last night and I thought I fixed it by not showing one of the buttons (because they should both do the same thing), but I have a feeling my changes didn't make it to every part of the world last night. This all to say, I will fix this today. If it bothers people that PDFs are being downloaded, Thanks again everyone, -Max

Awesome peer feedback (so far), everyone! It's really cool to see peers giving honest, constructive feedback to each other. Love it!

This is my first battle and I was so nervous about giving feedback but I actually enjoyed it. When do we receive our feedback, when everything is judged and decided? Thanks for all your work. This has been a lot of fun! I’ll definitely participate again!

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it :) All feedback is released to everyone on June 8th, but before that -- around May 29-31st (when the final 8 scripts have gone to the industry professionals), the Writing Battle Debrief forums open up and you can share your script on our forums with a press-of-a-button, then give feedback to each other similar to these nycm forums. If you participate in all of it, you end up with an insane amount of peer feedback. Let me know how you enjoy the rest of the competition!

I got Western! Wonder if one of them was mine? Are we allowed to say the names of what we've read or written?

We definitely can’t reveal what we’ve written until the judging is over, and genre is the only part of our prompt we can reveal. I know it’s tempting to spill all like we do right after NYCM submissions but since it’s peer judging/reviewing it has to remain as anonymous as possible
