Quoted from Don
Sean,

Not trying to be difficult...

If ones character were to be transgendered. As a biological male, could my protagonist be a female transitioning to male? Or would it have to be a male transitioning to female?

Quoted from Dreamscale
Why would anyone use a previously written script?

Why would anyone enter a vomit draft?

I don't understand...


I'm with you on the first point. I hope no-one does and they shouldn't, it's just a lot easier to do so in this OWC than any other.

On the second point, all my OWC's entries so far have been vomit drafts. Due to my work schedule, I normally only get to start writing the day before it closes (Thursday) and knock one up in about three hours. I never have the time to do a second draft. I imagine quite a few enter vomit drafts.

I've only ever managed two entries in all my time here that weren't vomit drafts.

I rarely even have time to read the script through.

Blondie, I don't need the extra criteria now as I have several good things going. Although if you do see this, feel free to lob some over anyway!

And sorry Don...no transgender stuff please!  

(feels funny Don asking the funny questions for a change. same answers apply! )

Did the parameters of the challenge state "human?" What if I wanted to throw some male pigeons in there?

They can be Bi sexual, Transsexual or Asexual pigeons and as long as they are named Sharon or Dorothy you'll be ok

All of my owcs have been vomit drafts too usually written the last day of the contest or in two hours tops. Maybe that's why I never win LOL but I still have fun.

Hey now, you're forgetting about the woman who gets shot during the getaway. Or the waitress who fills the group's coffee.

Don,

If someone is born male but identify as female, that would make them a female character? And vice versa would make them male.

I didn't forget about them, though. My point is, did they need to be female? Over the course of an entire movie, they could've easily pulled that off. Surely, you can do it for 12 pages. =)

Good point. If its a background character their gender doesn't really matter either.
