Quoted from mmmarnie LOL.. I'm way,  way too bitter about love anymore...

There's an outline for a RomCom if ever I heard one.

This should be fun... given how people can have radically different views on exactly the same dialogue!

Time to watch all those Alan Bennett Talking Heads shorts the BBC love so much.

Libby… quick question:

Quoted from LC Write your choice of prompt/premise under your logline. Your premise or prompt must play a vital role in your story. It cannot be just a throw-away line.

then…

Quoted from LC It may seem obvious but I forgot to add, don't let on which premise/prompt you are using.

Not sure how the log is supposed to read if it has to include premise, but be covert? I might be overthinking this… confused is all, thanks.

Oh, nice. This is really good, Lib! Have an amazing OWC, everyone!!

Wow. I'm loving this challenge!

Quoted from Gum Not sure how the log is supposed to read if it has to include premise, but be covert? I might be overthinking this� confused is all, thanks.

Don't give it away in your discussions...

^ oh, right... thanks! I knew I was over thinking it

Yes, Rick. What Pia said.
I should have been precise and said don't give your selection away publicly.

Normal logline when entering.
Premise written underneath, e.g. : I just make up these rules, I have no control over them.

Plot must be centred around the premise, not just a casual line thrown into the mix.

Kham, Rene, Ant, very pleased it meets your approval.

I hope everything else is pretty clear re the Third Variable?... If using it.

Any other questions??

Owen, are those Allan Bennet thingimies one-handers?  Must be 2 characters.
Gonna check 'em out anyway. Hubby says the Bob Hoskins one is particularly good.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood This should be fun... given how people can have radically different views on exactly the same dialogue!

That can be true to a degree. But we all know bad dialogue, right? And we know dialogue that sings.
Btw, I watched your video, Ant. Quite engrossing for just texting on a screen. Great job. Not sure I got the ending.

Okay, going away for half an hour. Any more questions I'll be back (like Arnie). Don't use that line.  

If the third variable is a character, does said character have to remain in play for the entire script?

Mark, nope, he or she does not have to. Up to you.

Remember too, If they speak they can only have up to three lines of dialogue. Or, you could just decide to have them grunt, cough, or neigh,   or no lines at all.

Mostly but a masterclass in dialogue and minimalist action.

So I've been keeping an eye on these forums pretty much every day to see when this challenge kicks off. So how come it only shows up TWO DAYS after the event started? I must have been looking at a cached version or something!

I'll have a think and see if I can come up with something as I love dialogue but don't know at the moment. I'm back working full time now, so we'll see.

ugh.
i'm not into it.
steppin' back
