No time for me this week...afraid I'm out as well. I tried an idea I had but it turned into 60 pages about a little vegetable named Vegan and steak named Carnie. I will adapt it into the circular file. Is anybody in for this OWC?

Completely blank. Not even a decent idea. I've had plenty of time this week so to say I'm pissed is a major understatement.

I thought you'd already entered about six 1 pagers and five 2 pagers, Jeff?

Ste, that was eleven 1 pagers, and six 2 pagers. Yeah, right... I'll fess up to writing all the scripts that have Vegen the vegetable and Carnie the steak in them. How's that fro a challenge? Go write those scripts people and everyone will think they're from me. YES!!!!

I've just finished one. It may or may not get accepted though. Sounds like there won't be too many to read this time around.

Note that part of the game has to do with guessing whose script belongs to whom. As a result, a lot of people will throw up smoke screens etc, and make like they aren't entering or whatever. The ghost town might be resulting from people concentrating on writing, or just not saying anything to make you think they aren't entering...or make you think they are.

I think that tradition died long ago, sadly, around the time when 30-40 people starting joining. Maybe it'll be the case this time around seeing as so many people have had problems with the genre/theme. Even moreso since Jeff's supposedly entering a ton of fakes.
I actually thought of an idea but I'm gonna write it after the OWC. I'm going back to the States tomorrow and need a good night's sleep so ironically I have six hours less than everybody even though technically I have six hours more.
