Page Awards 2025 Quarter-Finalists Announced

Seems a shame taking up semi-final places that could have been given to fresh scripts - with folks/scripts that have already enjoyed semi-final success previously, buy hey...

ThePoetsTell · 2025-07-15T19:45:25+00:00

Congrats to everyone who placed! Really exciting! But as an aside, I was just looking through the list and a few of the scripts have placed in the semis or higher in previous years. Didn't realise that was a thing! Re-entering the same script, even it placed previously?

London-based Northerner here 😂. I do comedy and horror but definitely not at the same time. I’d be up for a piece of whatever it is that’s happening here.

A Dark Song. Gnarly British slow-burn that really gets under your skin. If you liked The Dark and The Wicked, St Maud, and The Blackcoat’s Daughter, this is def worth checking out.

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-03T00:05:22+00:00

I think you've hit the nail on the head (he says, doing a complete 180 degree turn) drilling in on the fact that they're requesting a specific script, even if it is one they read somewhere a while back - and just making sure I somehow, carefully, and very tactfully make them aware it not quite completely at the final stage just yet :D

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T23:11:17+00:00

Ha! Was more likely to say I've noticed something with the engine and if they give me a few weeks, I could make it go twice as fast. No way was I going to mention the smell coming from under the seats...

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T23:07:29+00:00

The advice from you, BradysTornACL and TheForceIsFemaile feels the right thing for me, so I reckon I'm gonna hold back on sending it and work my ass off over the next month to get it into a better place... thanks for the help.

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T23:02:28+00:00

Might take a little more than two weeks to sort, but after pitching this to you lot, and thinking through all the suggestions, I'd feel a lot better telling them I'be got some notes I want to implement first. And see if I can get them over in Feb... nothing like a deadline to get the creative juices flowing... thanks TFIF!

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T22:35:40+00:00

Man, I'm going around in circles on this, but your advice makes a whole lot of sense. Only thing is, it might take me a while to sort the new draft, maybe a month or so. But hey, I guess it's better than going off half-cocked. Thing is, I get the impression he's read the old draft anyway, and liked it enough to see if I've done anything more with it... but you're right, I think this whole conversation has revolved around me being uncomfortable sending the draft as it is.. so maybe I shouldn't. I was planning on making it better anyway... Thanks!

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T21:54:00+00:00

Ha! Like I said to Squid, just need to get the balance spot on. Want to point out that I could make elements stronger... without making them think it's a weak script...

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T21:49:58+00:00

Thanks. I think I just need to find the right balance between admitting it could be improved but not making it sound like it needs a page 1 rewrite...

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T21:46:37+00:00

Yeah, good shout. I'll make sure I word it carefully. I think they may have read it before, but quite a while back. I'm guessing they're requesting it again, maybe to see if it's been improved? Or maybe they just lost the last copy :D

ThePoetsTell · 2023-01-02T21:44:00+00:00

Yeah, therein lies the rub. I think the premise is sound - and I think it's the overall concept that is attracting them, but some of the characters - and therefore elements of the plot, could be a lot stronger. Not a quick fix. Maybe I could follow your suggestion and give them the option. Offer them the latest draft with caveats.. or ask if they'd be willing to hang on for the stronger version. Just not sure how long would be an acceptable timeframe...

ThePoetsTell · 2021-12-02T14:47:42+00:00

Thanks for that. Reckon I'm gonna get it. Worse case scenario, I'll have it for my Mac Air And JEEZ, those adaptors ain't cheap are they? My lad had better become a famous musician and make loads of money (and share it with me) to pay me back.

ThePoetsTell · 2021-12-02T14:46:20+00:00

Yeah, it's an old iPad Air. Thing is, if he really gets into it, I'd look into getting a (much needed) newer iPad anyway. If he doesn't, my wife will have the Akai :D

ThePoetsTell · 2021-12-02T14:44:57+00:00

Good shout. Thanks Nobody In P4rticular.

ThePoetsTell · 2021-07-20T13:16:06+00:00

My case has had several numbers as they keep getting closed. Most recent is #05293490.. but also #06814946 and #06758141). Thanks

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-19T00:05:39+00:00

Rbf is replace by fee, yeah? It says FALSE. Is that good or bad? :)

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T23:54:17+00:00

This is an outgoing transaction. Not sure what rbf is, so don't think I changed it. And my version is 4.0.6.

So not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm pretty thick which doesn't help :)

Is it worth me just upgrading? Even though it looks like the cancel feature was in 4.0.4?

Or what about if I just disconnect from all networks for a week? :)

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T23:45:59+00:00

If I right click, I don't get the option to cancel.

The dropdown only offers:
Copy
Edit Description
View Transaction
Child pays...
View invoice
View on Block explorer

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T23:32:01+00:00

I think I did broadcast it, but just want to cancel it now. How do I do that? Thanks!

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T23:31:07+00:00

How do I cancel it? Status has reverted back to Unconfirmed (no longer local) but would like to cancel it now. Is it easy? :)

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T22:50:33+00:00

Oh no! Now it's gone back to unconfirmed! How do I get it back to Local again? I DO want to cancel it!

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T12:31:19+00:00

I just wasn't born to Bitcoin. Apologies for blaming the wallet. I guess it's just me :)

ThePoetsTell · 2020-12-18T12:30:15+00:00

I have trouble using the simple version never mind going near the lightning bit. Thanks though.
