Quoted from Female Gaze
I'm actually done. I'm giving myself until 11 to do some tweaking. I'm guessing you guys will have to figure out between me and LC who wrote what... yay!


Smart, Ash...very smart.  So many peeps enter their scripts way too early, and they suck, and I wonder why they didn't at least edit their shit.

Looking forward to your entry...and of course, Libby's!!!

Not looking forward to Stevie's.  I know it will be a female BunnyMan script.  HA!!!

Quoted from Mr. Blonde
Sorry, I was at work. When this was started, it was suggested to me (and I agreed) to keep private how many RSVPs there were.

How many? I'm assuming you mean what ratio men v women? Cause you gave the 'how many in total thing' away early on, or close to it. Some of us actually do pay attention.  

Oh well, doesn't hurt to try, and it'll be clear soon enough... Unless there's a guy writing women characters, writing male characters or vice versa. Don't worry, clearly the hot weather is making me go balmy. My entry has been submitted.

This always intrigues me too. I mean you can send an edited version/final draft to Don right up until deadline, even if you submitted a rough draft day one of the challenge.

As of 11:39 pm est, if you have submitted a script, you have received confirmation that it was received. I will endeavour to stay up until midnight, but if I can't and you don't receive confirmation, don't panic.  I will send the final list and such to Sean early tomorrow morning, so it may be as late as Sunday before you see any of the scripts posted.  

- Don

P.S. Happy New Year.

Before this OWC was announced, I was 50-50 on entering. But three things fell my way.  I had been thinking about a female-driven short for many months;  my winter break from school was extended this year to give me extra weeks of write time;  and I pulled a ‘Random’ genre, thanks to Mr. Blonde.

I have no idea what that kind of alignment means, but this is the most fun I’ve had with a OWC like ever. Considering my track record, not saying much.

Thanks, Don, and Happy New Year to you and your family.

I wish I had read these this week.  

Hey Ashlie, can I get credit for talking you into doing this?  It was you that said you only do feature length, right?  And I said it's a great brain exercise?  Hope you enter...

Good luck to everyone.  

After much debate, mostly with myself (it was ugly), I did submit.  Although, I think I submitted to the wrong section.  Guess we'll find out if it shows up.

Mine was about lots of women on the moon who try to make a man.  Please don't ask how they got to the moon.  Creative direction, folks.

Actually, I really did submit.  I am sure I will win.  Win last place.  It's horrible.

As I was rereading what I sent in, I realized I had to cut parts of the script that made the entire idea make sense.  So, yep, the story won't make sense.  This sucks.  A lot...

12 pages, you did me in...

So, I believe in the fairness that I will win last place that we should also have a contest for worst of both.  I'd be in the running...

Perhaps, I just suck...

Off to bed.
Dan


Please read my scripts:
http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-series/m-1427564706/

I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good.  I enjoy writing the same.  Looking to team with anyone!

Thanks
Dan

Happy belated new year one and all.

Looking forward to these being posted. I usually read and review them all, aiming to do the same this time but it will be over the course of the week. I have to pace myself to a few a day otherwise I go mental.

Now I'm off to take the kids to watch Sing at the cinema and tonight we are at a live Marvel Superhero show in Manchester. Have a nice weekend you crazy cats.

I failed. Becoming a common thing. Can't remember the last time I made it.

I had one day to write, but I realised several pages in that my story wasn't really suitable for a short, it was more the opening of a feature.

Good news is that it's a pretty good feature.

Well, don't they say that 'failing' is never trying? So neither of you failed as such. Oh, and we all you know you can write a great feature, Rick. And, I'm pretty sure you have too Kham. Mine ain't completed yet. Still trying though.

Like Scar Tissue Films and Khamanna I wrote one but missed the deadline. I'll still read as many as possible though.
