Stevie,

I think in the past we've done the 6 or 7WC in the summer. I'm easing into short story writing myself, but if anyone is interested in trying to get a feature challenge going, go right ahead.

Aren't there too many too choose from?

Oooo, Eldave's right.  That'd be a major fun project.  Though, thanks to IP issues, not too sellable.  Still, fun.  

I'd be in for a short

I'll participate if this is the theme.

Pia,

I'm not ignoring you.

I wish more people said that to me. It's not my fault I find it difficult to shut up occasionally.

Hey! Where are you going? I was talking to you. Don't run. Awww.

This is a super cool idea. Maybe part of the challenge is rewriting the script in such a way that there are no IP issues -- for example: Fantastic Four was terrible, write a good original script about scientists whose bodies are transformed/mutated when they discover an alternate universe. Or: The Last Witch Hunter was terrible, write a good original script about someone who hunts witches.

It could be write your own version of the scripts concept.

Tomorrow? Are we having one tomorrow??

Kham, I doubt it will happen tomorrow. Don tends to create a bit more build up than that.

Re this time around - I think a 1 page challenge might be a novelty. Be easy on the eye as well.   Lots of producers these days seem to gravitate towards micro-shorts.

I always thought a Twilight Zone type challenge would be interesting too.

Just throwing it out there. I don't even know if I'll be available for this one.

One page short is something we've never done here. Comedies and one pagers - never done, am I right?

There has never been a one page challenge. However, there used to be no minimum page limit so many people often submitted one or two page scripts. Usually something stitched together at the last minute.

Me personally, I wouldn't be excited about one page comedy scripts. Those tend to be just a joke, not stories. Writing a one page story is a lot harder than writing a one page joke, IMO.

I agree on the one page jokes. They are just jokes in script form and it's a no brainer to write them. Better be either comedy or one pager. I'd choose comedy out of two, but it's not my call in anyway)

Oops apologies guys! My suggestion was sorta tongue in cheek paying out on the recent glut of Hollywood blockbusters that had lame scripts but I'm glad that people thought it was a good idea lol.

Naturally looking forward to a comedy OWC but happy to go with whatever Don has planned!
