A drum, A drum!  MacBeth Doth Come!  

The OWC Theme and Genre will be announced at Midnight, Friday the 13th (GMT)

GMT is Greenwich Mean Time.  See?  I got a 'wi[t]ch' in there!




Scripts will be due Friday the 20th at Midnight HAST (Baker Island Time)

This will be open to all comers and advertised outside of the discussion board.

Khamanna will be running the challenge

More to follow...

Samoan Standard time??? Khamanna???

Bring it!!!!  

Minor change.  Scripts will be due on Friday the 20th at Midnight UTC−12:00 hour (AoE or Baker Island Time)

(Essentially, Friday night in your timezone, however I turn off submissions at UTC-12:00

I'm surprised no one is talking about the upcoming OWC! It's usually the biggest one, and my personal favorite.

Give us something juicy to feed our brains!  

I'm excited! I'm still recovering from the breathtaking prestidigitation in the opening reveal.

I need to break out of my funk of not writing OWC's. I keep getting like five pages in and then not finishing for some reason. I had an amazing idea for your apocalypse OWC and still haven't finished it.

This could be the jump start I've so desperately needed. Friday the 13th can't come soon enough.

~Zack~

Yeah, now we can post here)

I hope you'll like the challenge.
Oh, who am I kidding, you'll love it! Hold on to your seats, wigs and teeth. It's so coming.

Please tell me it involves muppets  

(other than the quality of my writing of course)

Haunted toupees attack a small town and cause much mayhem.

I'm running a first draft course and writing my own script for it, but as the reigning OWC champ, how could I not be in? Someone's got to knock me off the podium!  

Child demon monster kills a bunch of clowns....my M. Night twist of IT....

Quoted from ReneC Someone's got to knock me off the podium!

It certainly won't be me, although I DO have a motive of sorts. My mug from a Halloween OWC a few years back has disappeared. This is very troubling because (1) I'm proud of it, and (2) It was in my Top 3 rotation of coffee mugs. Now, it's gone. Poof!

I haven't written anything in so long. I need this.

missed last couple, so i pretty much gotta be in on this one.

My synopsis for the script I plan on entering: the U.S. Men's National Team, needing only a tie to make the World Cup, invades a tiny island the size of Corpus Christi but is eaten alive by the Soca Boys.  

I know - it doesn't sound realistic, but it is truly horrifying.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK is running this one!

I was going to maybe skip out but no way ... I'm in I won't win but I'm in like a pin in a pin cushion.

If anyone is up for a drunken skype wait for the genre slash theme thingy... just sayin... I'll be around.

Quoted from Pale Yellow If anyone is up for a drunken skype wait for the genre slash theme thingy... just sayin... I'll be around.

Like the old days?  

So the whole place closes down because of this competition?
Fuck's sake.

It would be cool to send in some Halloween/Horror scripts but you cant because of this stupid rule that you cant send in anything during a "competition".

It isn't a competition. It's a challenge...

And submissions are still open at this point. Nothing to prevent you from submitting your Halloween/Horror script.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Ooh, did it disappear from home or work?! What dastardly deed has gone on here? Who has nicked it...or dare I suggest, broken it and gone with a disappearing act cover up?  Very disturbing.

Quoted from Pale Yellow KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Oh, all these K's made me think of KuKluksK. Will that fit into the challenge? Hmm let's see...

Quoted from LC Ooh, did it disappear from home or work?! What dastardly deed has gone on here? Who has nicked it...or dare I suggest, broken it and gone with a disappearing act cover up?  Very disturbing.

At home.  I think you're right. A certain visiting relative broke it and hid the evidence. So sad. If only she had left me a shard with a bit of lettering...

Do the 'organizers' of this "competition" not realize that Friday the 13th is considered "unlucky" ? Next they'll be having us "walking under ladders" while "smashing mirrors" over our heads. Outrageous!

I for one will be staying in my panic room that whole day and will not "communicate" with anyone.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Like the old days?

Yes, the good old days!  I may be able to be in on a skype call.

Worth every penny.

Is there an ambidextrous mug available? I don't always like holding my mug with the same hand. They do say it's good to swap hands... or is that to do with something else?

Quoted from DustinBowcot Is there an ambidextrous mug available? I don't always like holding my mug with the same hand. They do say it's good to swap hands... or is that to do with something else?

I'm pretty sure that has to do with something entirely different.  

I don't know what the thmee is. But I already have my title.
And my alibi

Will this be announced tonight at midnight? Or tomorrow night?

The OWC Theme and Genre will be announced at Midnight, Friday the 13th (GMT)

GMT is Greenwi[t]ch Mean Time.  See?  I got a 'wi[t]ch' in there!

Or 11am Saturday in Sydney, Australia.

Quoted from Warren Or 11am Saterday in Sydney, Australia.

You spell things funny in Australia.

Or 8pm Friday the 13th in Eastern US in A.

Quoted from Grandma Bear Like the old days?

Why not? Sounds like a good excuse for a bottle of wine. Or White Russian.

Quoted from Don You spell things funny in Australia.

No thats just me Typo.

I'd want to join you on skype but I can't! I need to be mysterious this time.

The OWC is going to be announced two hours earlier - how cool is that)

So, Warren, it's actually going to be 9am Sydney, Australia time. 2am Baku, Azerbaijan time - and I'll go straight to bed after it's out. Too bad it won't be Friday 13th in Baku, Azerbaijan. Saturday 14th is much safer and quiet day. But I'll do some staring in the mirror at night and let's see. I want to feel spooked as much as you will when you see the theme of the OWC.

Quoted from khamanna I want to feel spooked as much as you will when you see the theme of the OWC.

Spooked. Sooo....spies! Witch spies! Spooky spooks!  

Quoted from ReneC Spooked. Sooo....spies! Witch spies! Spooky spooks!

Witch that looks like Spock!
