Just had a quick catch up. Thought it would all have quietened down by now but there were several more pages since I last looked. Just for the record, I would like to have known whether or not my script made the top 200 but I see that's off the cards now.
Also testing to see whether the photo I submitted since I last posted comes up now. (It didn't. What paranoid interpretation should I put on that?)
I note no one has seen fit to point out that the infamous fishfinger helmet was revealed not by Simon or Declan but by the writer asking a question on the forum.
I suspect the writers who submitted unstageable scripts because they couldn't be bothered to read the rules can't be bothered to read the forum either so won't have been offended by their exposure but, if any were, hopefully they'll learn by their mistakes and read the rules next time.
To suggest that anyone, who entered this competition, 'couldn't be bothered to read the rules' seems rather insulting. Of course people read the rules...now, of course, it's entirely possible people may have misunderstood them.
Believe it or not some people who enter this competion aren't experienced writers. This may well be, as it was for me last year, the first venture into writing that some entrants have made...that is one of the great things about this competition. It offers a genuine opportunity for the more experienced and able writers alongside an avenue for people to start to write. The very fact that people entered the competition rather indicates that they COULD be bothered.
