    Re: Nicholl 2008

    You can read the script Ghoul School at triggerstreet where it's posted. Check out the competition. It's a very tight, entertaining script.

      Dude or dudette, hope you're being funny or sarcastic.

      Hey that's a GOOD problem to have! lol

          I'm in NYC.... just got my letter. I DID NOT make it. BUT --

          Greg Beal put a nice note that said "close -- in the top 10%"

          So I have to thank Greg for that. Very cool of you. And after all our heated discussions on this board about the merits of contests. Of course he didn't know who I was when I entered. Just funny. My goal was to win and tell Greg the story so we could laugh about it over drinks.

          I've never seen that personally touch before in a contest.

          Thank you for that. Restores my faith in people.

          - Matt

            Doom has certainly befallen me. Got my letter yesterday (in LA): a very nice, polite, big old fat rejection. Ah well. Just found out I placed in the quarters for Scriptapalooza, so I guess that's some consolation...

              Greg,

              I'd think the online account should have the function of letting you know if you moved into the QF, no? Is this something that'll be in place for next year?

                  Important classic post from past writer Deus on what to be aware of if you have a postive experience from a contest.

                    EJ you're being a real downer today. Is it raining in the UK?

                    I think if anything they should post a list on their website, but it's a more classy affair. Old school.

                        Placing entrants' results in the online accounts near August 1 has been discussed. Several problems with this approach: our online system has resisted all efforts and still does not work properly. If four people think about logging in, it crashes. Having 2500 entrants log in on a single day would leave many, many people frustrated and angry. We plan on replacing the entire system for next year. Plus, not everyone has an online account, which would leave them out.

                        I don't think we'll simply place a list of quarterfinalists online to let people know results. Call me old-fashioned, but that just seems wrong.

                        When we have our new system, we should have a new e-mail system as well. When we can instaneously send 5,000 e-mails with various, appropriate messages to distinct groups of entrants, we might switch over.

                        We do like the letters, even though they are far more work. In the future, if we go electronic, the letters probably will disappear.

                          Sounds like you've got a great script there --- can't you use both of those to market it? I think so.

                              Greg's note: "Close - top 15%."

                                No letter for me today.
                                On the bright side. No rejection either.
