Quarterfinalists 9/21

Hiya Stormies,

Just a quick update. Our team is still digging in to the submissions and entering the feedback into our database. We hope to announce the quarterfinalists en toto (no, Jim, that doesn't mean 'with Toto' from 'The Wizard of Oz') on September 21st. We've already seen quite a few very good scripts, so as usual, you guys don't make the selection easy on us.

But for right now I can tell you about the Coverage Ink quarterfinalists. these are the folks who sent their script in to CI for Coverage, so they find out if they're quarterfinalists before the regular contest entrants do. Of the 371 scripts submitted to Coverage Ink for analysis during the contest period, which are thus also entered in the contest, we have 36 that scored a 'consider with reservations' or better for script. That's just shy of 10%, which is right on -- the top 10% of the regular submissions advance also. And let me just remind you that CI entries get NO favoritism. In fact we may even be a little harder on them!

So here is the final list of Coverage Ink/WOTS quarterfinalists, in the order in which we reviewed them. The rest of the QFs will drop 9/21!
