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.

Comedy!!!  YES!!!!

I'd love an OWC, as I think I missed the last one, but I'll need some warning, as my work life is alot more time consuming than in the past.

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.

Never written a comedy. Not intentionally anyway. Have an idea for one though. I'd be up for a OWC.

anything would be cool

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.


My scripts  HERE

The Elevator Most Belonging To Alice - Semi Final Bluecat, Runner Up Nashville
Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.  Third - Honolulu
Ultimate Weapon - Fresh Voices - second place

My minding should never stop you.

but I'm sticking to tradition.

Good, otherwise it'd be June before it dawned on me that we haven't had a challenge in a while...

Undoubtedly the death knell of SimplyScripts

Yes, I agree.  Sounds like Mr. B would like to take point on this one.  

I will announce the timeframe shortly.  This will be limited to discussion board members, so will be light on entries.

Oooh.

I might have a go. At the challenge I mean.

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.

I feel the same way about comedy, but this is supposed to be a challenge, not a cake walk, so...

Comedy, ay? So that means I have to submit a serious script lol?

A pisstake of a pisstake...now there's a first.

Looking forward to Blondie's involvement. He organised the time travel one two years back and that produced some fine work.

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.
