Drew Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Symphony said: My second summary is about 10 words over the 100 word limit - is that ok, or do I need to get it down to under 100? That's completely fine. My summaries used to be like 150-200 words. 100 words is a only a small paragraph, as long as what you're saying makes sense and feeds your scene, which makes everything make sense, then all is good. It's better your summary makes sense rather then cutting out parts just to make 100 words.
Eduardo Bearo Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 It's the final day now, one day left, that's still plenty of time to put pen to paper, hands to keyboard.
Drew Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Get those minds working! Prizes! Prizes! Prizes! Great feedback! Great Feedback! Great feedback!
Red Ranger 1 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 I wasn't going to do a second one but then I thought "Oh, what's the worst that can happen?I finish last twice?"So I hastily came up with an idea, hammered something out and sent it off today.(It is still today, isn't it?Oh yes.)
Dan F Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Exactly 12 hours left for you procrastinators to get your entries in! Again, competition closes at midday UK time - 9pm Sydney time

Thanks - I did whittle it down a fair bit, because I wanted to send it in then, but it was still over so I was just gulping and hoping that was ok ;)
adellejefferiesxox Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Dan/Drew/Eduardo Bearo it doesn't really matter how long the summary (as long as it's not over the word limit) is as long as it sets the scene and explains the background of the characters/storyline hey?

Jolly good old bean. Apparently Shakespeare used to write his plays under great pressure of time, so you never know Ranger, maybe you are a budding Will. I did think of doing two but time got away from me You see I prefer quality to quantity Hope everyone knows I'm only teasing and not incredibly big headed. What will happen when its midday? Will there be a loud 'bong, bong, bong' and Eduardo and co. will say: 'attention, your time is up, step away from the script'?
adellejefferiesxox Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Yes they probably will! Maybe they'll have a count down lol. 5....4.....3.....2.....1! Step away from the keyboard. lol
Miranda Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 I'd better leave my computer on and turn the sound up then That would make everyone jump wouldn't it, if an alarm suddenly went off at midday on every computer
