OK, Sean, thanks for get-back and clarification.  I think I have a way to finesse the time travel system.

Good luck everybody.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde


It probably isn't. I took Don's instructions on the last OWC and Mad Libbed them into fitting the rules on that one, so that link may be old. Hopefully Don will update us with a new one, but if he doesn't, just enter the script in the way you normally would, but in the Comments section, indicate that it is part of the January 2014 OWC, so he will know.


I hate to be a nag but it says "Script submissions are closed until January 6th, 2014"

I didn't know that, but it's probably for the best. It guarantees that if you finish early, you can have a couple days to look over it and make sure it's something you're proud to put your name on. =)

Never considered a time travel script before.  So far I've had a few ideas, including some I like, but the challenge it seems to me is to make this not sound like something already filmed. There have been so  many time travel films.

Also most of my ideas have been more feature orientated.

Thankfully the extra few days are appreciated.

I haven't been around much. Just got a job writing for my city newspaper. I will try and write something for this though, hopefully not as horrible as my last submission.


A bad writer, trying to become decent...

Thank you for all who put up with my work and try and help me improve.

Practice will hopefully pay off for my writing.

Finished yesterday in one sitting (Dustin, you'd be so proud of me). Going to leave it for a day or two before I read it again and realise just how bad it is. Then I'll re-write, make it worse, post, and watch the sh$tty comment flood in. And I haven't even bothered to make it unconfusing. If anyone understands it on the first read I'll give them a blow j special blessing. ahh.

Well done. I actually did the same thing. Took me a few hours to get one done. I've almost finished the vomit draft on another feature too, just writing the very end sequence. The short was handy actually, as I sometimes like to take a break from writing one thing to write another.

I've got another feature in mind too, so I better get to work.

Wibbly Wobbly timey wimey! A perfect opportunity for a Doctor Who fan fic script or Back to the Future crossover with Bill and Ted. Just joking, looking forward to reading these - good luck everybody!

EDIT - I've come up with an idea, just can I get it written up in time? See what I did there? Oh well I'll get my coat.

I toyed, briefly, with the idea of writing a Dr Who fan script for this little competition. I didn't feel that it would go down well. I'm not a fan. For me it's more about nostalgia. I still watch every episode with my kids, but what I find myself doing is checking out the quality of the writing. I suppose the days of just sitting and watching are over.

Well, we are at the halfway point. How is everyone doing thus far? I'm sure we have a couple procrastinators in our midst... Just remember, five and a half days to go. =)

Took me a couple days to even come up with an image, let alone a story. It's occurred to me that these open challenges are waaay harder than the ones with very specific guidelines. When you can do anything, what do you do? That sort of thing.

Came up with the basic plot two days ago. Spent the following days working out the kinks. I've written a time travel feature before so coming up with the "rules" wasn't too difficult but I did have to make some tweaks to fit the new story.

Aiming to start writing this afternoon/tonight. I think I might actually be able to finish in one sitting like some of the other peeps. Will spend as much time as I can rewriting and probably submit the final draft dead on schedule.
