And, submitted! Twice! I always find a typo after handing something in. A little joke my subconscious likes to play on me. Good luck to those still editing, this has been a whirlwind round. I loved being able to participate, and I'm very intimidated by all of you. You're so talented! Can't wait to see what you all came up with.

Group 4. Romcom/Cohabitation/An Optometrist.
Stick a fork in it because it's DONE. Just in the nick of time. I found Romcom even more challenging than Fantasy. Hope you're all celebrating completion and the very best of luck to all you talented humans. Can't wait to read your scripts!

Submitted! As has become an unfortunate habit of mine in these contests lately, I threw out everything I'd written with four hours to go and started over completely. What I submitted is very much a first draft, but at least it's complete. I'm going to go have a glass of wine that's filled all the way to the rim. Good luck to everyone still working!

I noticed we were in the same group when I searched "thriller" on the list -- was catching up and read through this thread and saw you were having doubts on whether or not to submit earlier this weekend. I'm glad you ended up submitting! Hope you enjoyed that glass of wine (maybe a second). Speaking for myself, I just submitted! "Thriller"... maybe? My recent sensibilities had me make it a little ridiculous, so I guess I hope the judges find it, uh... unique. I also was quite distracted this weekend with family obligations for Memorial Day Weekend here in the States. But excuses are #lame, so onward we go. I did have fun writing mine, so I guess that's what's most important. So hyped to read everyone's stories!

I’m the same way—is it ‘thriller’? I think so? Might be more action/adventure, but we’ll see!

And after I sent that, I edited it three more times. If I ever get 'wrestler' as a prompt...watch out.

Yo heatmate! I'm right there with you, I almost did the murder chickens too, but I couldn't bring myself to do it haha. I ended up writing something with good horror potential, but cramming too much character backstory in it so parts of it read like a drama. But some good beta readers pulled me to my senses, so I gutted those scenes last night at 4 am and ended up with something I'm reasonably happy with (or maybe I'm just delirious from sleep deprivation haha). Hope that yours worked out well :D

That makes sense! I've found in the prose comps the judges are really open to genre-blends so long as the assigned genre is clear. I decided to steer away from horror comedy though, because I'd have absolutely gone too hard on the comedy if I did it haha. Glad the judges liked your dark humour! In my last horror (why do I keep drawing horror?!) they liked some of my character-based interludes, but I was super unsure about them until I got the feedback. So I guess it just depends on the judges. @Skylerautumn, I'm sorry the judges didn't like your horror-comedy. I bet it was really good! So much of these things depend on the judges that you get. Good luck all!
