Drama. It is historical fiction set in 14th - 15th century London. Here is the log line.

Only King HENRY THE EIGHTH can stop LORD JAMES MERCY from being burned at the stake as a heretic. But instead of saving his life, King HENRY conspires to exact revenge.

Okay, intrigue in the palace.

Sounds interesting and a difficult write. Does Lord Mercy have a real counterpart as well as the king?

No. he is just the result of my fevered brain working overtime. I think the write came out okay after much research on 15th century language, sword fighting, armor, and falconing.

Cool. I got my script in that one as well. They haven't contacted me though. Did you get an email about it?

Never mind. They are going to be sending out Emails tomorrow. I got a horror one in with them. Hope it makes it past the first round.

i was surprised because it was about 7 revisions ago and not close to the quality of my current script

Damn. Didn't make the second cut. But I did get a request from a major production company today for my script. No body said it was easy but I have hopes.
