Quoted from khamanna Glad you asked! No need for a dying person or anyone dying (but if you want to have someone dying then do so - up to you). I changed "read Rest in Peace" to "contain Rest in Peace". Any kind of line with Rest in Peace will do. Any character can say it. And if that or any other character speaks some more after saying his RIP it's fine as well.   Does it answer your question?

Yes! That clears it up for me, great!

I think over the years I'v developed a fear of OWC Pissers, I hope to see that phobia in one of these stories

Khamanna...

I see... you're “running the show”  MOD.  Congrats.  

Well, if you're gonna play in a circus --someone's got to be the "Ringleader"...  everybody else is clowns...

All joking aside, I like it, I'm in.

Ghostie!
Long time no see. Glad you decided to participate. We may have a lot of girls in. Let's see)

Quoted from khamanna Sorry, guys, if it's not to everyone's liking. It's impossible to accomodate everyone) But go on, continue with your questions please. Just don't ask to drastically change the requirement)

I agree with Khamanna on this one.  A change in the requirements means changes in several other places and usually someone fails to get the word.  

Also, part of the conceit of the OWC is "A producer with a wad of cash and an idea...  Like.  'I want it to be about fear and I want it to end with something like, "RIP"'."

Excellent challenge. Busy week but I'll do my best.

In real life, I have arachnophobia. When I was a little boy, I put on my t-shirt one morning, only to realize that there was a giant spider inside it. The shirt was tight across my chest and the spider was caught inside it, scrabbling around on my skin.

I like giant spiders in movies, but normal-size, on film and in life, they're super stressful for me.

I've had an idea. Going to try and write the first draft tomorrow as I also have some spare time. Those two events coinciding on a weekend have never happened on a OWC before! I normally get an idea on the Thursday and then desperately try to get it done in a day. This feels weird, like the they've changed the Matrix or something!

I have an abnormal fear of snakes. Looked up the word - it's ophidiophobia. And it seems to get worse with time. I can't watch Snakes on a Plane now, no way.

Graphophobia - fear of writing... I suffer from

Graphopisserphobia - fear of pisser writing... not this guy

Quoted from Don   Like.  'I want it to be about fear and I want it to end with something like, "RIP"'." - Don

Oh no, you mean...like as in... tear, strip, torn, or dare I say...split

Now that’s got a whole deal harder  

How about Orphanaphobiaformatus - the fear of Jeff's review.

I have a fear of cute kittens, vanilla ice cream, and women in cat woman cosplay costumes...

Does the person dealing with the phobia have to be the main character?

No, it doesn't. The requirement says "A character must posess" -  sticking by it)

My folks are getting new flooring this week, so unfortunately, I'd "bet the farm" I can't commit. However, I do have a seed of an idea I might write after the OWC.

Plus, I'm invested in TCM's horror marathons. Right now, Scream Blacula Scream is on.

Good luck to everybody.

Man! Hope it's not about my avatar. But I was thinking of changing it though.
