I've actually now got the full 15 required applicants... but I may decide to do a 'judges houses' and gather a couple of you and tell you you're not cut out for the live shows... so do keep applying

[Cal.]

Can you not I need to find out if I've made it

[Shaun]

and just like that I've got seventeen I'll have to break some hearts.

[LukeB]

it took me a while to come up with a name

[Amy Jade]

I like the judges house idea, you could use the failed applicants as the pre credit deaths like Drew Barrymore in Scream.

Dead before the fun even begins.

[Shaun]

great idea, and it ties in with my intended backstory, will do that. Hopefully I don't get loads more applications otherwise it'll be a bloodbath

I always hated that scene tbh, don't know why it's so highly regarded.

[LukeB]

Do we find out if we aint made it or not?

Really? I think it is fantastic.

The studio pushed her as the star and then killed her off in 10 minutes, it was a massive shocker at the time since Drew was on the posters.

Yeah I like that idea and I think they definitely made the right decision in making Neve the star, but I think Scream 2's opening is far superior. And Drew Barrymore's scene is the staple for Scream (along with the garage scene from the same film) and I think other scenes from the other 3 sequels are far more deserving (the cinema scene in and Sarah Michelle Gellar's death in 2, the whole Jennifer Jolie character from 3...nothing really from 4, disliked that one).

[Amy Jade]

I liked the Scream 2 opening but I think Jada over acted it a bit, it was well written though.

I agree Sarah Michelle Gellar's chase in Scream 2 was awesome though but I still enjoy the way they killed off the big star in Drew, I bet people were really shocked at the time.

4 was okay for me, I liked Jill and Olivia's death but I wish Olivia had gotten a chase.

I'll PM everyone who applied

I think you should keep a bit of suspense and only reveal who made it upon launch night, like kill off the extra applicants in the opening post and then PM people after launch or whatever

[Shaun]

I'll have to give out character details (and the identity of the killer) before the launch though So basically, on the 30th, let's say at 6pm, applications will close and I'll begin telling people if they've made it or not, then on the 31st, in the launch, I'll reveal the lineup, the backstory involving the characters of those who didn't 'make it', in both senses of the phrase , and then the first task will begin

[Amy Jade]

Excited for this even if I am the opening victim and don't get to play.

But you could give out character details to everyone who applied AND THEN KILL SOME OF THEM OFF or not idk it's your thing man I'm just doing heroin

[Shaun]

oh and it should've gone without saying that sharing your information with other players is not only forbidden but highly likely to come back to haunt you if you're a killer

besides I'm largely ignoring your requests for names anyway they were just to make sure people're serious about applying

[Shaun]

6 tasks all sorted now, need to work out the kinks on one more and then come up with something totally original for the 8th one Something along the lines of that Tic Tac Tot game / Russian Roulette game, that's specifically designed for seven players

[Shaun]

I've just thought that, since I've already got more applications than necessary, I'll close apps now. 2 weeks and a day until launch! (Oh and all but one task is now finished!)

[Shaun]

K I need one more player because of the cull I have 15 applications that aren't banned at the moment but one of them is Niamh and she won last year

I should've replied before now actually Niamh, I was going to ask if you'd mind being a 'judge' this year based on your winning expertise I'd also like to ask Ben and LemonJam as other previous winners (since PJ died in 2009 and Jarrod is another applicant)

[Niamh.]

Oh yeah no worries Shaun

[Shaun]

Applications are now closed, I have all the players I need. I'll send out PMs soon once I've created your characters
