What is the One Week Challenge?
The
One Week Challenge is a
Free exercise where you will have
one week to write a
script (properly formatted)
12 pages or less (courier 12 point font) on the selected
theme and genre to be revealed on Friday, August 21st at 11:59 pm e.d.t. .
The script must be received by Friday, August 28 at 11:59 pm e.d.t..
Please
do not put your real name on your script , however, please use your real name and real e-mail address on the submission form (After the exercise closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit the script with your name on it). Please put "(c) Copyright 2009" on your script.
No gambling! No running with scissors. This is completely Free to enter.
This is only an exercise. There is no prize for winning (after all, we all win if we have fun). There will not be an official judging for the best script (after all, we all win if we have fun). All submitted scripts will be posted anonymously for a week before the writers are revealed.
The Schedule: August 21 11:59 pm edt - theme and genre revealed
August 28 11:59 pm edt - submissions due
August 29 - 31 - scripts posted without author's names
August 31 - September 5th - review, critique, comment, guess who wrote what
September 6th - authors are revealed.
Additionally, I'm in talks with
iScript.com to see if they are willing to audio produce one selected script.
And, I'm also in talks with Norm Sherman of
The DrabbleCast to help put a little twist into the August '09 Challenge. Take a moment to pop over to
The DrabbleCast , a short fiction podcast that is often humerous, often bizarre, always fun. With sci-fi, fantasy, wierd, disturbing tales- narrated by Norm Sherman.
Try and figure out what the OWC twist will be. You'll never guess. When the twist is reveled, I'm sure I'll anger and alienate just about everybody. - Don

Whether or not I participate in this OWC as a writer, I will definitely read and review as many as I can. I've missed the last few challenges so I'm eager to get involved again.

Which means the genre will be Disney Princess (you know that's a real genre...), and theme will be the seven deadly sins.

All sounds rather good. I've read some of the old ones and was impressed.

I completely chickened out of entering the last one, so this time I WILL enter, irrespective of what the theme, genre or indeed twist is!I will enter. Do not let me back out.
Guess who's back? Back again?

Just to make sure there's a record of JonnyBoy's promise after the theme is announced. That modify button can sure be tempting sometimes.

Remember me saying this: I will not say if I am entering or not. Do not let me back out.
Just a reminder for some of you new guys. The contest is
anonymous. We generally do not say if we are participating or not.
