Hopefully, Don won't mind this, but I'm sticking to tradition.
It's slow as hell here. Seven days worth of threads on the portal?? Traditionally we always have a OWC in January, April, July and October and they always liven up the boards and get people writing more. How about it?
Comedy anyone? I can't even remember when we did that last.
In all fairness, taking what I said into account, there is an idea for an OWC that I've had rattling around in my head for a while now. And, it's funny, looking back on the OWCs for the last two years, I hadn't realized this until just now, but I've hosted the last two OWCs to start the year off.
All my shorts are unintentional comedies. I'll win this hands down. Lol

A hopeless romantic gay man resorts to bloodshed to win the coveted position of Bridesmaid. 99 pages. https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1624410571/
i would like to see a comedy challenge, as it would be damn hard, but its not for everyone. so maybe it could be split into two different genres and then we choose one from each
anyway, whatever we think, don will have his own ideas.

Unless I find the theme unbearable. That's happened before. It might have been I just couldn't come up with anything decent. But I couldn't possibly comment. Didn't seem to stop some others. Commenting I mean.
I look forward to seeing what Blondie and Don come up with.
Comedy would be a nightmare of people not finding anything funny after the first page and declaring themselves out. Even though it will be obvious everybody has tried to be funny, people not feeling in a 'funny' mood will read it and declare it as being more like something from the horror genre.
Comedy is something I have to be in the mood for. If I approach it in the wrong mood, the story will have to work hard to make me laugh. Plus, reading one type of comedy could well ruin the vibe of a second script written using a different type of comedy.
I like comedy... just not all the time. One or two scripts out of thirty sounds good to me.
