Hey Darren...

Nothing's stopping me...in 9 months ...6 features and 8 shorts. I just sometimes like a break from my hardcore discipline. It's like a vacation And the October OWC was where it all started for me so...I'm sort'a sweet on them I guess. Like a first love I've never been to movie poet. Not big into contests...still learning...and I like it 'here'.

Darren...WTF in response to your "really". Who in the name of Zeus are you to tell anyone to stop make excuses? Really. How do you have any idea what people are working on, or why they are interested in an OWC? Most people look at an OWC as a break from their regular writing, not as an excuse to write. And many just like the camaraderie of it.

I've never heard of DVX. I'm not a fan of MP's 5 pagers, no offense to them. And I'm not really interested in writing shorts or becoming involved with short contests. I make an exception for the OWC, even though it interrupts other work, because I like the sense of community the contest enhances. I'd be a little more cautious if I were you about assuming others motivations behind doing OWC's.

Quoted from Reef Dreamer Hey Darren, you're right that ther are others, although I didn't spot the DVX. Are there others? It's not a site I have frequented. .

Scroll down to the Scriptfests. The last one (now done) was 'Alienfest'.
In the 'General Previous fests' section, you can also go to the 'Spriptfests' there to see past challenges.

I was referring only to those in general, and meant no offense to anyone.
I'm not a huge fan on MP five page limits either.

OWC!!!!

OWC!!!!

OWC!!!!

In July, since we obviously missed June.  I haven't been able to partake in some time, but I'm sure as shit ready now.

I've got this great idea about an eggplant, 2 lesbians, and a nude pool party - hope it fits in with the challenge topic.

Whatever the theme is, just write it - I want to read this one!
