Considering this a short I personally would choose kids or adolescent females, perhaps a competitive plot, moral to the story, about winning and losing, perhaps bullying, or that sport is typically a more male domain.
Yeah, I have a very specific thing in mind. I guess an element of competition is really the key. Whether it's futuristic race cars with machine guns or just boring baseball. My idea doesn't really have any competitive elements, unless I find a way to tweak it.
I don't wanna be in at all but I can't get this idea out of my head now...
Rick, I draw your attention to this below when I queried if an opposite sex character could be dead, in other words, there in the scene with obviously no dialogue.
Yeah, I was just checking. There's a big difference between an all female cast in a normal world and an all female cast in a world where males are never seen at all.
There's basically two stories you can tell. A very contained one where you're not showing any of the outside world, or a story where men/women are gone/never existed.
So once again, we can only have casts of either ALL women or ALL men? Even if it's just a background character we can't have it be the opposite sex? It's just a little hard and unrealistic to put the characters out in the real world without any of the opposite sex around.
For example, kinda difficult to have the main go out to watch a movie and have the theater be full of just women, even if it is a chick flick, lol. Or to attend a sporting event with only one sex in attendance. I understand the reason for the parameters but if it's just background characters would that be ok?
Ok, read past comments. Damn. Looks like zero tolerance for the opposite sex. Ok, restriction breeds creativity. Gonna have to sleep on this. It's not a huge deal breaker for me so I'll work around it.
i was ill yesterday which drained all creative brain power
but today I'm back and have had an idea...
what strikes me when i think about this is how the reviews will really have to take the genre into account. Some are easier, or more welcome to the reader than others. Rom Com versus slasher. somewhat different.
that will make it an interesting reading challenge judging one against another which in itself is a good idea

Not sure why everyone seems to be struggling so much with this challenge.
It's a shot, peeps! You don't need stadiums or theaters full of peeps. You don't need city streets, or buildings full of peeps.
All you really need is 1 character, but usually, a few more help. If romance is your theme, it will have to be bisexual, or simply discussed, as there's nothing wrong with having peeps talk about the opposite sex.
I think this is a great challenge and I for one, am in!!
Mark, your comment is interesting. Some time ago, I was openly annoyed about the tight regulations of the taxi challenge and people then called me out, said I'm a non-creative person and stated it's a sign of lacking creativity when not finding inspiration within close margins. I took that to heart…
To me, the topic is more than great because I only reach sentience if you let me out go play :-)
Anyway, I hope you walk through and enter... think about meaning perhaps... what specific abilities women got or what their impact on the world is... what fucks you up about them or what you think they succeed with.
It's not so much the creative aspect. It's more about the openness is giving me too many options to choose from. It's like saying, pick one movie to watch tonight out of a hundred different movies.
The other aspect is the OWC forces people to write something pretty unique in a short time frame. Although any OWC is open to people using scripts they've written before, the chances are slim given the unique parameters of each one.
With this one, you can use any script you've previously written in that genre and just tweak the character's genders.
Potentially we could have a vomit drafts going up against final drafts of scripts that have been in film festivals and competitions.

If ones character were to be transgendered. As a biological male, could my protagonist be a female transitioning to male? Or would it have to be a male transitioning to female?

The best thing I can say about that is, I'm not big on having people be disqualified. Just try and stay within the spirit of the rules if there are loopholes.
