Yeah I've gotten so used to writing comedy than it feels so weird to jump back into serious writing & find my footing there, but hopefully I can serve more of that vers in the upcoming entries if I make it 2 the next round or just work on it more in my writing in general. It was obviously a bit on the weaker side due to being rushed but yeah if I survive 2 next week I am gonna put more time into it. |

Ahhhh omg Ken ty 4 liking it so much, I changed so much so I could try & deliver the least predictable plot possible, so glad that paid off, even tho ya, I can definitely c where some of the dialogue needs tightening up, so I hope I improve next week if I'm not gone!

. And honestly the rest of the script was just as amazing. First of all omg @the Tara Reid reference again. You aren’t slick. But wow this entry was hilarious & creative and honestly your best entry by a longshot. It was 21 pages long but doesn’t drag at all. I LOVED your creative use of the genre and murder conspiracy, and thought you tied them together perfectly without taking away from either. They meshed surprisingly well together and you really made me feel & ship the romantic interests (which is one of those things that if you go wrong with it tends to be a disaster). You really nailed the challenge. I also loved the characters a and dialogue so much. Honestly everything about this entry was great. It was so wild & entertaining and enjoyable to read. It was just an overall amazing entry. I especially loved the music choices which really lifted the entry. This review is only so short because I can really not say much beyond how much I loved it. Keep up the great work!
. I thought you took an idea that could’ve been pretty predictable (losing virginity to an alien) and made it really fresh & unique. The sex scene itself was WILD & had me screaming the whole time, though tbh imagining it as a real scene it could actually be pretty horrifying depending how it was done. I also thought the dialogue was really great for the most part, though it was probably one of the weaker parts of the entry (mainly because it just didn’t stand out as much as the other aspects). Ngl, this is an entry I’d probably actually like to see as a full script/movie, since it’d really work as one with the great characters & setting. Overall you really slayed w/your first entry so I’m glad you decided to join!
This entry was really great I thought. You took the genre/scenario and portrayed them in a different yet effective way. I thought that you’d go the expected route & just have a bunch of zombies attack someone at a tea party, but you chose to go a more subtle route which really I thought really benefit the entry. That being said I do wish the zombie aspect was explored a BIT more, which could've been shown through flashbacks or something. Because as is it really nails the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse but it doesn't really show the zombies as much as it could've. I also have to say that I wish the tea party played a bigger role, but it wasn’t so small that it hurts your score that much. I really loved all the characters! The end actually made me pretty sad too with it ending on such a dark note. But really great first entry from you!
). I was honesstly really shocked by the entry, not in a quality sense (since you typically serve that
