It's only a few weeks off, so don't plan anything stupid.


You're welcome.

Mine won't be ready until 11:51. Will that be a problem?

I'll allow a five minute grace period.  But quite frankly, I'll probably be in bed by 11:13 pm edt.

Think if I wrote it as a haiku I'd get it done on time?

Over sins known and not
stands Ray, rendered skull in hand,
under harvest moon.


EDIT:
WTH was I thinking? That sux!
The entire first line is an unfilmable.
No title or log line.
At least I have a single character, action and setting.
I don't think dialog is absolutely necessary.

However, I do ask that someone make a refferee call on whether you'd rather have a slug line or dialog?
(I believe the title and log lend themselves naturally to a first line.)

* * * EXAMPLE  A * * *
Title - Log line
SLUG
Character + Action

* * * EXAMPLE  B * * *
Title - Log line
Action
CHARACTER Dialog

Two more off beat considerations for supplements to the O & 7WCs.

Maybe a ODC?

Or a 2HrC?

Even though I might not enter, I'm still intrigued to hear what the genre is going to be.

Halloween is such a cool time of the year.

To stop the nonsense of 1 page submissions, I'd say an 8 page minimum should be set.

I wrote one last year that I didn't quite fit the challenge so didn't submit it.

I hope this OWC doesn't have a musical theme.

I think the 50% rule I advocated last time is still a good idea.

So if it's a 12-page maximum, it's a 6-page minimum. And so on.

Works for me.

Has there been any attempt at standardization of regulations in the past?
Success or failure, if so?

Not sure if letting others do half the work is a good idea.  Maybe 3/4 of the job might be fairer.
