Nice one. What happened to the results for the last OWC though?


The results haven't been announced from the last one, have they? Looking forward to the next one but seems strange how July's OWC didn't have a winner.

The July OWC didn't have an iScript.com selectee.  As for a winner, everyone who entered is automatically a winner as the OWC is a challenge rather than a contest.

Quoted from dogglebe
This year's genre is going to be mockumentary.  You can thank Pia for this idea.  Don has already approved.  Mockumentary.

The genre is being posted now so people will have some time to learn about how to write one.

Mockumentary.  Yessiree.  Mockumentary.


Phil


I thought we agreed on Flamboyantly Gay Rom-Com.

It's going to be mockumentary.

Incase you haven't noticed, I list my two mockumentaries in my sig, for people to refer to as models.  I wanted to include 'Loose Change,' but there was no room.

That would be perfect for me.

So are we changing the title from OWC to PCP (Phil's Cheap Plugs)

Again, it was Pia's idea to do a mockumentary.  I'm only helping out by providing examples.  If you know of others, please post them.

So every time from now on when the genre matches a genre you have written in everyone just posts links to stuff they wrote instead of doing any actual research themselves?

It is a good genre because I have written a feature in it before. Now the theme is where it will fall apart.

I don't care what the selection is.

The OWC rocks and I think I should pick up my guitar and write an OWC anthem.

You mean, flamboyantly gay (or straight, cuz I don't want to alienate my conservative right-leaning user base) rom-com mockumentary?

Your script can be about anything, but it must be called "Ass Blasters"


It would be an awesome day indeed to come to the portal and see "Ass Blasters" listed 22 times in a row.


The other option is a script about Phil composing a letter to Penthouse Forum.  Just think of the prime VO opportunity.

Dear Penthouse,

I'm just a regular guy, and never in a million years did I think that what I'm about to tell you could ever happen to me...

We were going to do that, but I kept getting mesmerized by your avatar and instead of chaging the title, I changed my underwear...

Those two examples are more than sufficient.  I don't think any other examples by anyone else will be needed.



Quoted from Old Time Wesley

Exactly!  It is all part of the script writing streamlining process.  No original thought, just repurpose what has already been written.


Quoted from shelton

Dammit, Mike.  Thanks for totally freaking up the theme for the script contest for my new site "SimplyScriptsAfterDark.com"  

Phil, the cat is out of the bag.  We need to go back to the drawing board...

On a serious note, a OWC anthem would be kinda cool.

Only if it ended with lots of feedback and a guitar fire.

"Freaking" and "SimplyScriptsAfterDark.com" should NEVER, EVER be used in the same sentence.

You can see why I let the cat out of the bag.


Quoted from Dogglebe
CHERI doesn't use nearly as much petroleum jelly on the camera lenses.


Probably because their degenerate writers steal it for, uh, "personal" use.

Quoted from Zombie Sean
I guess even if the theme is Halloween-less, I can still connect it to Halloween. Boy do I love Halloween. Halloween....

Halloween.


Sean,  I'm not sure where you are going with this.  Could you be a little more explicit and less vauge?


Quoted from mcornetto


Only if it ended with lots of feedback and a guitar fire.


Great idea, but perhaps guitar feedback and the sound of fire or an explosion and then quietly in the background, "Hack, hack, hack...".
