No, that's cool. I understand. You can still read and provide feedback, you know? Not alot of peeps taking place in it, or even reading...maybe I should keep my mouth shut...
I did not participate, but I will try to read them all. I feel I owe the OWC. I learned a lot in Feb, my first, so I would like to repay at least by reading and commenting.
It would help a little to know how many there are, so I can pace myself accordingly.
I have been too busy to participate much lately, and did not enter this time.
What makes this one different, Jeff, is the fact that it was "sprung" on the boards, without any buildup.
That might have sounded good on paper, but maybe did not work out so well in practice.
Don likes to experiment with these, but that particular "angle" probably won't be repeated. Live and learn.
I think this was part of the issue, but also not a lot of people like writing action, IMO. Also, the theme was so vague it made it hard to conjure up a story. The last two owcs had specific requirements in place that every story had to have. That actually helps to stimulate the imagination as it sets you off in a specific direction. This owc was so open I think people weren't sure where to start..
The fact that the challenge was hidden for two day shortened it to a 5 day challenge. I had to finish a script for MP that was due on the 31st and then I had promised to read ED's Zombie Playground right away before his pitch. Add to that just normal day to day stuff and I didn't have time to even ask my brain to try to think something up.
For the record though, the challenge itself had nothing to do with me not entering.
I will try to read some of them tomorrow as I have nothing big planned for the day.
