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. Don |

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 |

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. |

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. |
