The Veal Situation
When a 300-year-old vampire discovers an eyewitness to his latest murder, he must struggle with his own moral code -- and that of a fellow bloodsucker -- in deciding how to cover his tracks.
True to form, Snark - this really does sound awesome! Good luck 😉

Let's get this party started. @Nick, maybe edit the post to reflect that this is where we are posting titles and loglines.

Done!

Group 11
Thriller
Take the Blame
A Superintendent

Logline:
When a Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sergeant survives a not-so-accidental plane crash in remote Northern Canada, she’s thrust into a time-sensitive fight to find the criminals responsible and save her superior from a similar fate.

--

I spent the first 2-3 days of this round devolving into absolute maddness wrapping my head around the thriller genre. I'm a comedy writer (ridiculous, mindless, raunchy comedies), so I was thrown for a loop with this one. I'm super happy with the end result, and yet again, I got my money's worth from this challenge!

I hope there are others in my group this year, I saw a few chatting in the other threads during the round, so hopefully other Group 11'ers post their stories -- I'm dying to see what others did with these prompts!

These all sound so intereting, and the few I got to beta read were amazing. We're all against tough competition and I love it!
