She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

Fantastic! It's worth a minimum of $25... ;)

Possibly. It'd be pretty awkward if they were love interests or something, though; if that's what you were thinking. ;)

No sharing that information with Top. O:)

Announcement on the Deadline
All entries must be entered by May 20, 2010. That is exactly 30 days from the start of this contest.

Nope, that's not at all what I was thinking, thank goodness. Yeah, I'm no good at writing that kind of stuff. I was thinking that I could have them being study partners. It's VITAL to my script!

I highly doubt it, but you be the judge: here's a photo, in the pink/green shirt. She's 13 in real life, so 16 might be a stretch. (Up to you, of course. ;))
I guess I could make her 15.

I don't think so. If absolutely needed, we could do a stuffed animal with sound-effects as the voice. ;) Otherwise, we don't have any animals besides goldfish.

Not really. :? Similarly to the dog, there's ways to get around stuff like that. I could film a certain group of people, then have them switch clothes and move to another area, and have crowd sound effects playing and such. So no, I don't have lots of people, but there's things that can be done.

...and a wedding reception scene? You amuse me. \:D/

So you reward writers for creating a more rushed and worse quality product overall?


Nice.
So you lost your trust,
And you never should have.
No, you never should have.
But don't break your back
If you ever see this,
But don't answer that.
In a bullet proof vest
With the windows all closed,
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon.

Wow... I hadn't seen this earlier. Though, May 20th? Right at the time, even know, when my talents are pushed back because school demands so much? wow... I'll try. I have a whole young-adult story going on... I'll check again the ages and think. :)

This sounds awesome. Script like... Now this might be interesting. Any length requirements?

AE, would you be able to film in a backstage area, or at least somewhere that could pass as a backstage area?

Possibly, if needed. I have a place in mind that might be usable.

In other news, we've reached 6 entries! Keep yours coming! \:D/

Yeah, but I'll need to find Michael Bay's cell number again. We haven't spoken in weeks. \:D/

I could do it with action figures and such... ;)

Haha. I was just joking (well, obviously, I hope) but it would be pretty funny to do a SPECIAL EFFECTS EPIC that just used... toys and firecrackers, etc. ;)
