VALIDITY: Valid
STYLE: Pros: Sets the theme well, yet at the same time gives a bit of a twist in
making it a film. Is of reasonable length. And the judge always prefers stories
to read rather than just dry rules.
Cons: No restriction or guidance for future rules though this is very
early in the round, so the penalty is minor.
Total: 1.75 - however, the Judge awards Rich a small style bonus for cheekiness.
Normally a repost would garner a style penalty, but as it was simply too early,
the rule is not factored in - plus trying to sneak in on the Judge's poor
wording.. that's just cheeky. Well done!
Final total: 1.9
