Hi there,
I just got notes back from the Blue Cat screenwriting contest and am thinking whether or not I should re-submit an updated version of the script, or keep the original in the contest. The reader pointed out very minor things, and prefaced it with "the charm and likability of the script is enough to ignore these minor faults." For example: he said 2 of the main characters and 1 minor character being in the same gym at the same time is too much of a coincidence - but I did this to get the hero in trouble, and i've read coincidence to get the hero in trouble is okay, but out of trouble is not.
Anyway
My question is: Is it better to get a different reader or the same reader? I would think using the same reader might bore him to read the same script again. He said the script was a fun read. Are there advantages to getting another reader?
Thank you. Sorry this was a but long winded.
