Everyone having this combo should hand in the same script... all of you will probably win your heat... food for thought.

Hello, fellow mystery/plagiarite!
Mystery/plagiarism really puzzled me at first. It took me four hours to get to the point where I could even see a storyline.
And people complain about THEIR assignments! Plagiarism is way narrower than anything else I have seen thus far.
You're right - there are about five different options, depending on how far you are willing to stretch both genre and subject. I hope mine is unique enough (and well-written enough) to win the heat.

I'm in your heat. And I agree. It's way too narrow a subject.
I think I found a somewhat unique take (hopefully not one of your 5!).

| Alright. I'm game. My script is really short on mystery and really long on plagiarism. And I don't mean me stealing from others. Okay, maybe I do. |
