I've absolutely nothing. That's never stopped me before...except for that one RomCom challenge, but who's counting.

Dave, Paul, James, you guys in this?

Quoted from LC Done, with 1 day, 12 to go, Warren? You and Zack. Wow. Two entries are coming in either way.

Yeah definitely in this one and will be for the whole challenge. I've very much got the writing bug again. Can't see the script doing very well, but it's nice just to be in the mix.

Also nice to have a day just to keep looking over the script and polish the turd as much as I can.

Wrote draft one. Review and revise tomorrow before submission.
This is a tougher challenge than I thought it would be.

Wow, it's actually within two pages in the first draft!

It's either grim or cheesy. I can't tell.

Quoted from Warren Dave, Paul, James, you guys in this?

Yep. Got an idea and some words on the page. It's... something.

Excellent!

Libby, do you know when the scripts will be released for reading/reviewing?

I've been scanning flash horror stories all day in-between work for inspiration and there are loads out there, lots of them are decent reads, it's just the twist endings are all so similar or follow very predictable traits. It's tough to come up with something a bit different.

If I get time tomorrow I'll have a go.

Yeah totally agree, but every time I think I'm going to be reading 10 of the same ideas in an OWC people come up with the goods.

You mean the jump scare ghoul?

Okay, just under 24 hrs to go.
Great to see so much excitement over this.

No, John this is not a RomCom, so you'll be fine I'm sure.

Quoted from Cacutshaw Sorry, I might be an idiot. Are the submissions closed? I noticed when I went to submit one it said the May Challenge is over, yet the clock seems to still be going.Oh well, maybe next time.

If anyone's an idiot it'll be me, okay?

Warren, good question, I will check with the Boss on when the scripts will drop.

Quoted from LC You mean the jump scare ghoul?

Funny because it true, it's a very used trope. Still, it can be very effective when used correctly.

I agree. It works a treat in Bedfellows.

Quoted from LC I agree. It works a treat in Bedfellows.

Bedfellows was actually what inspired me to write my first ever short, Lullaby. It follows the same pattern, a quick misdirect then a jump at the end (it's not very good). It was picked up 2 weeks after posting it here on SS and was filmed as Hush.

So Bedfellows actually has a special place for me, I feel like it's what really started it all.

Here's the old thread where I actually mention it as my inspiration, a blast from the past...
