And that's exactly the point, thank you for illustrating it.

This does happen during the challenge and everyone of you could probably imagine what it would be like if this were an all out competition.


And I'm not even competing!  

I'm just busting stones.  I think the OWC's are great, and I know there's a lot fo work for everyone, on both sides.

Quoted from Baltis.
My wife said to sub the 10 page and blast out a 30 page "complete" version shortly after.  Kind of like (this is only half of the story)... I dunno???


What the fuck? This is the second time you're doing something similar to what mine is. Not story-wise, but I knew my story needed more than ten so I was writing two versions. And, in last year's 7WC, you were writing a similar style of story (multiple intersecting stories).

Come up with your own fucking script problems and stop stealing mine.






Joke.






Kind of.

Ray, we do know these things..an believe it or not, we all appreciate everything...even all the fucking around with each other and fights.

You were the one putting down the iscript read.  Personally, I think it's great whether or not the reader rocks the script out.  It's really cool, just to say, "Hey, yeah, I've got 1 of my scripts recorded and available for the world to listen to.

I do hear you..damn, how cool would it be if we could get a nice sound effects, multi-talent read, but that shit costs money...even for Grade Z "talent".  It's alot better than nothing.

I'd love a real challenge too, but it wouldn't be a good thing, like Cornie said.

I mean, seriously, it'd be like Iron Maiden vs. Helloween...there are no losers....they're both WINNERS!!!

Oh, I wouldn't worry too much.  There is no way the stories are remotely similar.  If they are, as I said earlier on, we'd have to be related in some way.  And while I need the extra pages to really blast this story out I don't think I'll take the time to do it given I've got 3 other projects right now that are commanding my attention.

One that I'm prepping for a few contest next year.  

Also, I remember the 7WC bit.  I wrote a script called "Santa's gotta secret" for it.  It was an anthology-like film with a central hub.  I remember pulling out of the site after some disputes with the mods and feeling as if I was about to be banned every time I had posted.  I also remember acting like a disrespectful Dick Twist with no regard too, though.  Then, around that same time, I had some infringement issues too.  To have posted that script for the 7wc wouldn't have been fair.  It had more time than 7 weeks to be fleshed out.  And given the fact I'm very protective, now more than ever, over my work I don't post as often in open forum and only let a select few read my work.  

But, again, I wouldn't worry.  I can guarantee our scripts will share only the theme and restrictions in common.  Name, plot, pace and hook will all be different.  At least I hope so.  If not we should team up for an epic Action flick!!

Jeff, I understand how my initial disappointment  does/did come across as putting down the iScript read, but I have swallowed that bitter pill and have moved on the wiser.

When next year's crop of freshmen staggers around in here, bumping into sh!t, saying dumb sh!t and complaining about the smell I will calmly and succinctly rip their f@cking nube heads off and p!$$ down their throats.

No.

Really.

I am.

Nah, just effin' off.
I'll be  like Mike and sanely point out what's what and that "HELL YEAH! IT'D BE SO F@CKING AWSOMMMME IF WE COULD GET CORNETTO AND HIS SOUND GEAR TO RECORD PHIL, PIA and SEAMUS (as the wheelchair dude, HA!) AND MAKE A REALLY EFFIN' COOL RECORDING WITH SOUND EFFECTS OF THUNDER and STORMS and HOWLING WIND and CREAKING WHEELCHAIRS and GIRL SCREAMS and GUY SCREAMS and poor ol' SEAMUS GETTING MURDERED IN HIS GIMPCHAIR! THAT"D BE SOOOOOO EFFIN' AWSOME!!!"
But instead we get this.
It's like fiber.
Trust me kid.
It's good for you.
Deal, Lucile.

I'm a cheap bassard.
- You're male one.
- Seamus is male two
- Pia is the female.

There's a dozen sites like this with royalty free stuff.
Foley a little if ya gotta.
Pick a entry good for radio.
Everyone has a script.
Michael sets it up like a radio interview.
Mike spends a couple hours dubbing over music and soundtracks afterwards.
Wa-la!
Nine months later a beautiful baby horror radio story is born.

Totally doable.

Pia, you have been in America too long, it appears to be destroying you natural, in-built European, Ironic humour radar.

unfortunately I hear everyday where words are butchered and Americanized. I don't find it funny. It's one reason why I have 3 kids who don't speak Swedish...

Maiden vs. Helloween?  That ain't a competition, that's like windshield vs. bug.

Jeepers, ya' all can go on! Pontificating writers. You'll all do anything (even throw poo at each other, apparently) except that which you should be doing! Writing. Thought you'd all be happy getting 'horror' for the latest OWC. This is twenty seven  pages of...

You know what? Forget that... I'm reading & some of this is bloody entertaining.

I'm just bitter n twisted for two reasons: first off I'm a way better editor than writer - (you can ask those who pay me) and secondly, being in Oz' I was sleeping, which meant I missed being ringside for Ren & Jeff's latest heavyweight stoush.  

Did anyone copy n paste that one? Sorry, shouldn't be encouraging. But, did anyone? Now, I'll prob. get deleted.

Seriously, anyone want an edit? Or a look over their script. Kick it to me if you do. N' g'luck to all. I'll be reading, at the very least.
