| + | In fact you can move on to improve the script's ''Potential'' at [[Rework and Finish!]] when you have {{IL|Manuscript Page|3 x}}s, but to finish your ''Short Story'' you will need at least 10 of them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You start with 20 [[Potential]], which represents the script's quality and ability to become a certain ''Short Story''. The higher your ''Potential'' the better the chance to make it a more valuable ''Short Story''. If you let this drop to 0 your script will become a useless [[Wreckage!]], and you have to [[Consign it to the flames]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | With 20 ''Potential'' (and the reluctance to spend expensive items), you should have about 30-45 pages before you advance, for the editing process will consume pages until ''Potential'' hits 60. You may want to try ''Laudanum!'' in the beginning to push ''Potential'' - or burn your script if it goes awfully wrong. The use of ''Laudanum!'' later on is either not advisable or desperate. | ||
