So, I am now one of those people who "has a script".
Oh god.
And I'm planning on submitting it to about 10 screenwriting contests (or so) throughout the year. My script is basically about a bunch of white immature suburban lower-middle class Americans and there are a few characters that love to cuss. I designed these characters this way, they are ridiculous and dramatic people and I don't want to change a thing in terms of their dialogue because I have it the way I want it. So what I'm really trying to figure out, is, if I submit this thing to a few writing contests am I going to be frowned upon or judged poorly if I have a "cunt" or two in the script and probably about 25+ "fucks". I honestly don't personally care about this stuff myself, but submitting to contests and/or film festivals is always a risky investment and I don't want to screw it up over something so superficial.
