I didn't finish with the polishes on my script until this past weekend. I was going to wait until the 25th, but when Greg said they have received 1600 entries, I figured I might as well submit.

I am entering on the 27th, as I still have some work to do.

Your script probably won't be among the first scripts read by any reader, but it will be read early enough that burn-out and familiarity with premises and genres probably won't be a factor.

Wow Monkey....that sounds like a nightmare I had recently! Lol! And Joe, ditto on the kudos for Greg. It's great that he is so accessible to us! Lastly, lordmanji, I'm still chuckling over your post. Tee hee!

It's really not that frickin hard (especially with FD) to open your draft, change the cover page, and 'Save As'...
C'mon, really, are people that obtuse that they can write a screenplay yet not follow the simplest directions? Yeesh, even actors can do that!
And there are versions of FD that don't allow what you are saying. Not everyone is using the same software.
The idea here is that with large populations there will be varying levels of adherence and skills. The idea is to make it "difficult" to not get it right. Why is this so difficult to understand?
