Long or short, I'm in. Assuming I can come up with something, of course, but that's usually not a problem.

I decide on the genre and theme (and now, which challenge) at the last second.  And usually depends on what I've been drinking... and how much.

Whatever it is, it won't be very specific.  Don't want to have to wade through thirty romance scripts about a plumber and a minister meeting and falling in love in a stuck revolving door during the Hollywood premiere of Kung Fu Panda 3

I'm a possible as well.  All depends on what 'he who is running it' comes up with.

I'm encouraged by the 'it won't be too specific' comment...I think.

My two cents:

I have no interest in anything other than a short for this. 7WC's are just too tough to read, and I don't want to write features that are not a topic of my choosing.

I am in favor of topics that are not too restrictive, and not too "out there". Yes, by doing that it means people can't just submit a short they happen to have lying around. But there's downside. Really restrictive rules inhibit creativity, so shorts can end up all being similar, or less interesting. I want to enjoy the reads.

Also, these are the only shorts I write, and I don't want to have to kill myself checking off a list. When it's no longer fun, I'd rather do my regular writing.

Just my two cents, nothing more. Thanks for running it!

I think 7WC's make you think outside the radius of your natural ideas circle. It helps you try new things which I think is beneficial to becoming a better writer.

Anyway, since we've got a ? where the number should be, I don't think this will be a one week challenge. Perhaps a 3 week or 7 week one?

Mo, it's a big commitment, though. Not just in terms of writing 7 weeks on a topic you did not entirely choose, but to reading a lot of scripts that were cranked out, and therefore hard to read.

A 3WC where people wrote an act one might be more reasonable. But only if the topic is such that one might want to develop the concept. So if it were too weird or too restrictive I would not want to invest the time.

Gotta say I'm with Kev on this. I'll likely be in if it's a one week challenge cause it's a manageable time investment, and less consuming to read all the other entries.

Just putting it out there so 'he who is running it' can weigh the general consensus.

Plus, surely another 7WC or similar can be done in between, like before. Anyway, it's all speculation at this point. Roll on Friday, curious to say the least.
