I'm in! Last SS I ended up with ghost stories in R1 and 2.... I wonder who I bribe for a nice drama?

Wait, character assignment? What is up with that? I'm assume it's a vague character and nothing specific about them, right? Like a doctor or a teacher? And I assume it's like the object in Flash Fiction, they don't need to be the main character, but just included?

First round I had "a braggart," second round "a firefighter." It doesn't have to be the MC, but they do have to be significant to the story. (Unlike the item which can be mentioned in passing.)

I think I will go for it, just so I've had a go at each of the competitions at least once. The extra breathing room on word count in Short Story does appeal.

I think going forward I'll settle on just the two prose competitions each year, but the script writing is fun too and something different for me, and will be hard to say no to.

Basically I love the whole process and the forums that support it - definitely addicted!   

This is exactly my situation.

Addicted to EVERYTHING, but choices will have to be made. Since Prose is more up my alley, I might cocentrate on FF and Short Story, but Screenplays are FUN, dammit!

I'll see how things go in Short Screenplay and take it from there. My performance in Screenplay (a 2nd and an HM) was nothing to be frowned upon, either, so...

AARRRGG! CHOICES! LOL

I have 8 days and a more liberal word count? Gives me a 96.435% chance of winning!

In the era of spin, you just made stats talk in your favor, sir! LOL

This FFC is my first foray into NYCM. It's been so much fun! I'm going to try short story, but I think the expanded word limit is going to be strange.

Ooh, be careful. Last year's FFC was my first time with NYCM, too, and since then I've done SSC, both screenplays, back at FFC again this year, and well.. Yeah.  It's addictive. But a blast! Hope to see you in Short Story! :)
