The One Week Challenge is going to be a little different this go 'round.  For starters, I thought it would be cool to vote on the genre.  The theme for the OWC will be announced this Saturday.

Don

[edit] does this mean anything?

This voting thing is pretty cool Don! One question, where's the horror option? Is thriller considered horror?

Not hundred percent sure I have the time to participate, but I voted for thriller. That could be fun.

Great idea btw, this vote thing.

Pia wants to know where is the mocumentary genre hahaha.....

Very cool idea. <---- My vote for this to become a permanent change to the OWC process. Oh and my vote was for Action/Adventure.

Zack, I'm saving Horror to Halloween.

Oh! Okay! That'll be a good one!

I think it would be nice to do something that hasn’t been done before. We’ve already seen Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi.

Writers always say they hate Rom-Coms even though millions of people go to see them.

Noir might be interesting. I think Mystery might be too hard.

Action/Adventure? I can’t make up my mind.

I think Fantasy will produce a lot of random nonsensical material -- haha.

Crime will yield a lot of Tarantino models.

Hmmm.

What is Noir?

I voted for Action/Adventure. I've wanted to see a OWC based on that genre for some time now. Comedy, drama, and horror have all been done twice and I don't think we need another repeat with Sci-Fi any time soon. I agree with Breanne that Crime and Noir will probably yeild too many Tarantino/Sin City knockoffs. Action should be fun.

Just a thought, should the only people who  vote be the ones who participate in it, cause we could end up getting like 20 votes just from random people.

No -- you are stuck with whatever the genre ends up being anyway.  And lots of people may or may not decide to play based upon that final tally.

The votes should be for what people would like to read, I think, and that could be anybody.

I created my own genre called Zack, where each script must contain a drawn out action.

Example:

Ed sits on his couch.  He aims the remote control at the TV, and flips through each channel of his 500 channel satellite package.  Twice.


This is why nobody likes me.



(*Action/Adventure*  Couldn't bring myself to vote Rom-Com)

Mike, I think you just struck gold!
I also vote for Zack!!!
