Quoted from Nomad We still haven't chosen the critera for the challenge. My vote:  A romantic comedy about two gay Nazi guards set in Dachau Concentration camp, circa 1941. That should be easy enough to write. Jordan

Piece of cake. The criteria should be picked tomorrow. When it kicks off.

Hold yer horses, Boycott.  I'm not writing about gay nazis.  Big waste of time.  I'd rather write something that actually has the chance of getting produced.  I just PM'd you.

My suggestion would be Thanksgiving or Christmas as the topic, 3-5 pager, genre -drama.

You'll have 3 days to knock it out and we'll submit it via dropbox.

I'm writing a feature right now and two features in the wings that I'm writing for producers. Not to mention two shorts that are also being produced that I'm needed for rewrites on. Despite my overly worded style, I seem to have a few fans of my work.

3 hours and I will write a 5-page producible short. On any subject given by a third party.

Theme: Thanksgiving or X-mas.

Genre: Drama.

I've got nothing written, but I've got an idea.  I'm going for it.

We'll dropbox the links here in 24 hours.

Buh- bye

I'm not playing like that. Doesn't matter what you say... I'm not going to play with parameters set by you. I'm at a disadvantage straight away.

How are you at a disadvantage?  Because you think I've already written something?   Nope.  I fight fair.

Here's what I'll do for ya.  You pick the topic.  Ready, set, go.

I'll go with the twenty-four hour thing. A whole day is plenty of time. Parameters have to be set by a third party at a specified time though. Only way this can work.

I also want the scripts submitted anonymously.

Dustin, if I may call you that --they don't much care for me either.   We're on the same playing field.   Now stop stalling.  Pick a topic.

Don's gonna shut this thing down if we keep going back and forth.  Better to keep it low profile.

Ha - yeah right.

I'm also in bed by 10pm. It's almost 9pm here now. That's because I'm up at 0530. So if anything , I wouldn't want this to start till around 7pm my time, so I can turn shit over before I sleep.

I don't care when you write or submit yours.  48 hours?  72 hours?   I'm ready to write now.  So pick a topic.  

Should really be a holiday-based theme, but whatever.

I'll have mine done by tonight, then just wait till yours is done to submit it.

Pick a topic or three random words.

I'm not ready to write now. I've been writing all day. I actually write... a lot. The twenty-four hours can start tomorrow evening around 7pm my time. If you're on East coast then I think that may make you around 5 hours behind me? I get confused with daylight saving. I know Cali is 8 hours back. Either way... 7pm for me is great for you.

topic should be picked at random, from a random member. Three words, whatever.

Quoted from Don What fresh hell is this?   Seriously, guys.  This is the second time I have to go in and clear out a thread because of fucking juvenile name calling.  If I have to keep doing this, I will fucking ban everyone involved and delete your fucking scripts from the site and you can take this shit over to another screenwriting website.

I hate coming back to stuff like this.  I am so on board with what Don has posted above, and the self-aggrandizement on display here is about as distasteful as it gets.

Quoted from Dustin Topic should be picked at random, from a random member.

Fine.

Your topic is an internet feud gone bad.  Take it or leave it.  You want to set it during the holidays, knock yourself out.

Any more name calling or d*ck-swinging and this thread gets locked up just as tight as the last one.

Behave and you can post it here or start another thread.

Anonymous submission is too much of a pain for me or Don to get involved, so if you do not want to do it out in the open, then don't.

Topic sounds good.  Thanks bert!  Sorry for the disruption.

Dustin, you can have as much time as you need to submit your script.  PM me when it's done and we'll post them here at the same time.

May the force be with you.
