    I've got three pages, a title and an insipid logline, but I'm not sure how you DM a text file.

    EDIT: Well, I thought I had it figured out, but it wouldn't let me attach a text file. Said I wasn't authorized to do so. I guess the Done Deal Pro gag reflex kicked in.
    STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I'm a wannabe, take whatever I write with a huge grain of salt.

      Too funny! One entrant sent me a txt file via DM. Perhaps (s)he could offer some suggestions. Can you convert it to a pdf? If not, we'll have to wait for the DDP techies to chime in.

        You can attach files via messages now. I sent a PDF as test to buddy on here. Maybe even a way to exchange specs without using email which may open more people up to reads. So don’t see why a text file wouldn’t work easily.

          However I was trying to send it last night didn't have bioprofessor's name at the top (as recipient), so I guess I was trying to go with the wrong option. It pretty much looked the same, except for the lack of a recipient. At any rate it looks like I finally found the right route, got past DDP's gag reflex mechanism and (I think) it was successfully sent. At least it shows up in my Sent folder.

            I'll send you mine one hour before the deadline, like I normally do.

              Sounds good. That's EDT, btw.

                  I'd better get on it! (Seriously, I will be sending you something and I'll aim to have it in the day before the deadline. I'm trying to change, man.)

                      Hey, no judgement. Some people work better against a deadline. Of course, they also require more medication. 😆

                              If I were you, I'd be curious too.

                              This will be a fun one. Usually it's eight-page shorts or loglines. I don't know if we've done first three pages before.
