Nice one, Sharkey. I'm entering this one, damn it! Well... after I finish my Guiness...

[GreenEteaProductions]

Idk why can't you just write and finish the guiness hmm.... lol I'm definitely entering this too.

One question:
Are we talking about hell hell? Like fire and brimstone hell because I would I say being at an Anne Murray concert would qualify as hell lol

[japostol]

My mug is all watery with condensation so every time I drink from it, my fingers get all wet. Don't want to mess up my keyboard. Plus its a beautiful day today. We've had rain for the past week and this is the first clear day in awhile. I'm just kicking back on the balcony and soaking it all in. With my laptop and beverage.

Ah... a Hell on Earth... a Hell of our own making... good question.

[GreenEteaProductions]

Hmm.... That makes a lot of sense lol

And yeah I was wondering about the hell thing? or is that the point of this choice so we can create our own hell?

[Sharkey]

Any hell! Doesn't have to be fire and brimstone to be hell.

I wouldn't want to exclude the atheists now, would I?

[japostol]

Well... here's mine.

Title: The Hell I Am!

Synopsis:

Lou Siefer Jr., son of Lucifer, escapes Hell, only to be recaptured by his father.

I wrote something tonight but its running around 19 pages lol

Do I have to trim it down for this?

I had the same problem. Initially I thought fifteen pages would be a little long but far from it. I wrote about 17 pages in two days (two sessions lasting about 2-3 hours each, actually). I didn't realize I went over. It was just a matter of minor editing and rewriting to trim down to 15 pages.

Btw, good luck, Green, in this comp and every future project.

[GreenEteaProductions]

Good luck to you too JaPostal lol

Here she goes:

Title:[b] 8 Circles of Hell: The Trials of Seth and Saddam

Synopsis:

Two men travel through the 8 Circles of Hell

I feel like a jackass I put csfc as a tag lol instead of cfsc lol it happens

[japostol]

ROFL! I almost did the same thing but caught it at the last moment. Why does it seem more natural to type 'csfc' than 'cfsc'?

[CriticalTodd]

My hat, it is thrown into the ring: Somebody Up There Hates Me

Cheers!

[vedus hate]

Nice three entries in already. Looks like this will be a good one.

[GreenEteaProductions]

I have no idea Ja lol haha

We still have what feels like forever until voting starts lol

I wanted to make the title 8 Circles Of Hell: The Trials of Seth and Saddam but it was too long lol So it was just 8 Circles of Hell lol it sounds funnier with the trials of seth and saddam lol without it the movie sounds like a horror flick lol.

[vedus hate]

Mainline - drama/horror - 12 pages

A xenophobe with claustrophobic complications attempts to take the subway to an appointment by leaving early enough to avoid all other people. Unfortunately he falls asleep on the train.

My thanks to Sharkey for answering my questions about Irish folksongs. Acting as a resource for me saved many hours of research and uncertainty for what is arguably an arbitrary portion of the script. I found the tone and words I was looking for however. To that end, I thank you, sir.
