Man what I wouldn’t give for a confirmation that someone got my submission. By the way, I tried to attach my treatment file in .pdf form and it didn’t work. Did this happen to anyone else?

You know, if you are done with ur script and you still have 10 days to go, then its not polish enough.  As the winner of the treatment and issue 1, they are obviously looking through the scrips and they should have no obligation to confirm the hundreds of scripts that they are getting.  I didnt know i was the winner until the night before the announcments were made.

I been lurking and reading the comments on this board and its helerious because i dont know if i should even take you serious as a writer.  Half the questions you ask are so assine that you just need to stop.  chill and wait until the winners are posted.  If the PDF doesnt work, then send it in word.  We’re all in the same boat.  Just do what you have to do.  yesh.

This is in response to Wilson Trang. Are you so childish that you have to belittle other contest competitors? I wouldn’t talk so tough if I were you seeing as how you can’t spell “hilarious” in your rant. Not to even mention the poor grammar. I went back and read your work to try and see if you could back it up. I found it to be boring to say the least. You couldn’t even make up your own characters, instead you looked to history books to write most of the story for you. Winner of the contest or not, your not as hot as you think you are, and should show other competitors more tact.

P.S. Again with the spelling factor there is a spell check button located on the bottom. Next time take the extra second to click on it so you don’t look so stupid.

First of, congratulations on winning both the treatment and issue 1 script.

If I may take a moment to defend myself:

First I’d like to point out that when I made that post it was three months ago. At the time, no results had been posted. In fact, even after the official deadline, it was several days before your work was posted. I readily admit that I was anxious for news and that did make me a bit impatient. But I was certainly never rude or pushy about it; only curious.

Secondly, not being sure as to whether or not my .pdf posted, I DID, in fact, also send it in a .doc format.

Thirdly, I am well aware they have no obligation to confirm anything. Again in my anxiousness, I was simply musing that I would like to know that the electronic system had not failed me.

In regards to the time factor, I posted that comment shortly after sending in my treatment. My treatment was three and a half pages. At that point, it was done and polished and had even been read by a third party editor/proof-reader. It was done and I felt good about it. I was very comfortable with what I submitted. They chose yours and again I congratulate you on it.

The script, however, was a very different story. My script was not ready to be turned in until the proverbial eleventh hour. To the point, when I tried to submit it they had taken down the link a day early. I sent an e-mail pointing this out probably due to the fact that I need to “chill” to use your word.

I hope this hasn’t come across as too asinine (or maybe I should put assine so you understand) but I do take myself quite seriously. I labor hard to produce quality work that I take pride in. I do not write professionally, but I would like to someday. I appreciate criticism, even yours, but I would like you to do a little more proofing of your thoughts before you go and announce them to the world. My parents used to tell me to “think before I speak” and I hope that you will also take that thought to heart. Hiding behind the anonymity of the internet is not an excuse to vent your huffy and self-righteous opinions.

If you or anyone else are interested in seeing my work, I would be happy to post it publicly for any who are interested to read. I know that you “don’t know if you should even take me seriously as a writer” but I am willing to put myself out there. You obviously have what Spacedog Entertainment is looking for and I am happy for you. I hope the money goes to good use.

Good luck in future endeavors both here in the contest and in whatever work you do.

i dont use this board so i didnt even use the spell checker.

I didnt come trying to belittle jedipetesolo.  I didnt realize the post was from months before because i just visited the board every once in a while.  It would just seem that he is more wrapped up about the circumstances of the competition so far.  From his posts, he seems more picky and demands more information here and there.  It seems that half the posts he makes are due to unforeseen circumstances, which is understandable.  But again, he is the only that seems to make a public spiel about it.  I have said that we are all on the same boat and we are.  We all had problems with the submission and we all had problems when the page when down.  It seems that its one of those things that you just roll through in life when problems arises.  If you are a writer, you should have been damn happy that i had an extra day.  I ended up reformating my script in the extra day.  Again, he got the message, “just chill”.  We’re all in it together so if you are having problems, odds are we are having problems.  Just concentrate on whatever your writing and it should be fine.  IF my post ended up being more insulting, it was because i was annoyed but you are right, it was touchy and that was my fault.  It seems that everyone is demanding this contest to go smoothly and we should jsut be thankful for this opportunity.

And to the criticism of the script being boring and historically based without any true “character creation”.  The intention was to use historical and universally known characters so everyone would have a fair chance at winning this.  The treatment was used as a equal opportunity script so everyone can participate, instead of just hte winner of the treatment.  It wouldnt make sense to have different contributors to a linear script when one person can change the script so drastically.  So i used historical characters instead of the characters i wanted because that would fit the format.

Last three posts were good and all, but I was wondering if anyone has heard any news about the winner of round 2’s script????

Just wondering, because if it takes any longer than I don’t know if it’s even useful to put in a script for #3

Anyway good day all and here’s a link to my own orgasm pill
