Quoted from DarrenJamesSeeley Okay, one quickie question. We can't mention "Halloween"...but...what about Samhain ????

You can't use the word "Halloween".

Quoted from khamanna "You can do anything to the house, except burn it down." Since you said "you can", "anything" includes "nothing" right? I mean do I have to do something to the house at all?

No, you don't have to do anything to the house if you don't want to.

Quoted from RayW Can special effects be employed to duplicate characters, such as used in The Prestige and Moon?

Yes, but don't go crazy with it.

I think this is a good challenge.  I also think it's hilarious all these micro questions.  C'mon, peeps, just write.

Don has made it extremely crystal clear what you have to work with.  He's also made it crystal clear that you can choose to use the ingredients provided, or choose not to use all of them, meaning, if you don't want to deal with a guy in a wheelchair, then don't include him in your script...but then you're down to 2 characters.

Don, I apologize for adding fuel to the fire last night, but I just couldn't help myself.  I was laughing for hours about all the "serious" questions being thrown out.  Now that is full on comedy.  Good show everyone!

Now, let's get planning and writing...

I've done mine. I've just gotta edit John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Catherine Keeler, Al Apacino and Freddie Mercury out and it's finished.

Quoted from Don Yes, but don't go crazy with it.

Okey doke.
No viral Agent Smith reproductions.

I have not visited SS much recently - a combination of Life giving me a good kicking and a lot of problems with the internet.

But it looks like I may have wandered by at just the right moment. I had an idea for this within a minute of reading the rules.

Sadly, I think most of the people on here probably had the same idea! It was very obvious. So I don't know if I will pursue it or try for something more adventurous. But we'll see.

I haven't written anything since New Year's Eve, so it would be nice to get going again, and this is a perfect opportunity.

For those of you writing furiously tonight I can offer this respite from the understandably big Lennon day type celebration.

I was gonna put Fame up but then thought you may just wanna break.

Jedward's and Vanilla (cough) Ice's version is shockingly bad. I love Jedward, silly haircutgted lads having the time of their lives. However, when I finally get hold of Vanilla Ice I wring his scrawny wigger neck. Again.

Here's how it should be done...

Quoted from Simon Crane Sadly, I think most of the people on here probably had the same idea! It was very obvious. So I don't know if I will pursue it or try for something more adventurous. But we'll see.

Now, you see, I hate it when this happens. I have got an idea I thought was very original and brilliant and was quite excited getting up this morning to write it. Now you have got me worried that my original idea is actually so obvious that others are already doing it.

I would say just write it and don't worry about it being obvious, the chances are it is only obvious to you and nobody else. At least I hope.

Ahhh! So you have my idea too?

Let's face it. Everyone here is thinking the exact same idea. The question is, who's gonna do it better? =)

Not even close.  I'm using an old family story that was said to be true -- (which I've always doubted) -- involving my great uncle.  But twisting it around to fit the challenge a bit.  No One is doing what I'm doing and if they are we should be related.  I just hope to wrangle it into 10 pages, maybe 7 or 8 if possible.  On page 4 right now and will be taking the entire week to make it a quality piece.  

I can guarantee y'all don't have the same idea as me!!

Apparently my tone didn't have enough sarcasm in it. Damn. I thought my dialogue was my least weak bit.

On a different note, it's possible someone has the same idea as me, but not quite likely.

I hope to get it on time at all - Oct is a busy month. Not as bad as Sept though.

I do think that my idea was done before. But it's okay.
