Can't wait.

Cool! My first OWC.

Impeccable timing.  That week falls perfectly into the Procrastination section on my school schedule.  Stoked!

Happy days

Mark

maybe this will kickstart my sputtering creative engine

Very cool. Fewer scripts to read, awesome. I think we needed this. Good excuse to wipe the slate clean of any bickering and focus on something we all have fun with. Somebody needs to cut Ryan's internet so the rest of us have a chance! Looking forward to it.

It's been a long time since I participated in a OWC. I've been moving back into writing, so this is great timing for me.

Table for two at my place...

Don

Please let me do the idea I told you about a few weeks back... otherwise, I'm going to release certain photos on the world wide internet... and nobody will be happy with that!


Phil

No, no...don't do it!  (IE: release the pics, OR discuss your idea.)  I don't wanna!  

But I do want to do the OWC...timing's pretty good....

I think I'm in...

Good news. I haven't done an OWC of these in ages. Think I might take another crack at it.

Dontastic.

Excellent.

I'm limbering up, "Eye of the Tiger" is playing...oh, thats right, its not a competition.

Good to hear its for discussion board members only - bloody annoying to have some freeloaders.

Otherwise, great news, thats is until we get the theme...drum, drum??

Should we have a guess? Oh well I'm going to anyway. The drum reminded me of the little drummer girl, don't know why, so i'm going down the espionage route - ok, very unlikely, but there it is.

Sweet.  And remember, I'm going to post nothing but positive, warm, fuzzy feedback to every contributing writer.

The drum drum makes me believe the theme will be "A Tale of Two Drummers:  Pete Best and John Rutsey discuss their careers that could have been".

Cool I'm in.

I actually think my spealing has improved since the last one  

It'll be fun to see what we all come up with. And thanks Don!

HGW

The timing could work out for me too.

I'm in the middle of a feature...
But already have to take three days off for Sherwood Oaks meetings.

So, I'm pulling up short right before the big late second act action push.
Which for me, is a nice place to break away from a first draft for a couple days.

And those meetings end Friday night.
So, the timing of all this is promising.

E.D.

Do non-members actually submit to other OWCs?

Quoted from Felipe Do non-members actually submit to other OWCs?

Yes, all OWCs used to be open entry.  It's only recently that we've had board only OWCs.  The October OWC, however, is always open entry.

Well that just makes me feel cozy inside, i`m going to get my pipe and slippers

We haven't had a full on pure comedy theme since I've been on SS...

That would be nice  

Quoted from stevie We haven't had a full on pure comedy theme since I've been on SS... That would be nice

That's because nothing is ever funny if you call it comedy - which makes comedy scripts a drag to read.  

It all depends on what the subject and genre is.
Hopefully it has nothing to do with found footage or sex tapes.

Still looking forward to this and far more interested in this thread than another....

Having thought about it I think I will change my guess to something about music. The drums, the drums.

I wonder, maybe choose a favourite song and write a script inspired by it. We shall see, I just hope it's a theme i understand!! Some previous themes would have been a real challenge.

Oh and please, no vampires etc

A Vampire Down Under Musical.

Any submissions that include Stevie wearing his infamous short jean shorts from the 80's banging on a drum will receive special consideration.

Quoted from stevie We haven't had a full on pure comedy theme since I've been on SS...

Actually, we had one five years ago.

Ok. I only joined in November 2008

If the thread title is being considered as a clue to the content of the OWC, it should perhaps be pointed out that it is a reference to Mr. Shakespeare...

THIRD WITCH
A drum, a drum!  Macbeth doth come.

Shh!  Don't jinx it.  A Shaka-zulu-spearean contest would be great (for me at least) and I'd hate to see it not happen because we mentioned it.  

Aye, there's the rub...

Considering I'm MacDuff, I'd be all in for this one...

Oh no...that's me stuffed.

okay...anyone excited?

I wasn't going to enter MP or the OWC, but....I am such a shortaholic, I might not be able to stay away.  

Bard- themed? Hmmm...plot thickens.

What time is it on the east coast?
