This is just me putting out some feelers to see if there’s any interest in doing another 7WC. I noticed a few people liking the idea in another thread.

The 7WC is not a competition. Just a challenge. There are no mugs or thongs to win. It’s just a challenge to see if you can write a feature in seven weeks.

Unlike the OWC, it’s not anonymous. In fact, quite the opposite. We encourage people to discuss their ideas, ask for help when they get stuck and so on. We try to be supportive of each other. The goal is to finish.

The scripts that are sent in, will receive feedback by other participants and usually even from nice people who didn’t take part, but wants to offer up some help. The drafts turned in by the deadline are often first drafts and can be a bit rough to read, to be honest, but with all the feedback, everyone should have plenty to work with their rewrites.

As mentioned in another thread, several people have scripts they’ve written for a 7WC that are now either in production, have already been shot, or as I found out yesterday, become quarter finalists in PAGE! So, it’s well worth the try, IMHO.

The last one we did was a year ago. Don decided to make it a 1+6WC. Everyone was given one week to write the first ten pages of their feature and post them and get feedback and then the other six weeks to finish the feature. I’d like to know if that’s the way you think it should be done or just have the seven weeks.

Also, in the past we have picked a genre by looking at what type of scripts are being requested at InkTip by production companies. After all, what point is there to pour all your effort into something that has little or no chance to be produced? Like a period drama for example. Okay guys, thoughts? Suggestions?

I'm not at the stage where I'd feel comfortable banging out a feature in 7 weeks.  I'd personally like to participate in each and every OWC from here on and out, and I won't be able to do that if the challenge is beyond my level.

I'll get involved with the feedback of course, but I'd like to be in the mix with everybody else, especially since I've become a more active member here.

Not trying to dump on the idea, but those are my personal thoughts.  If it goes ahead, I'll be somewhat happy with the peak in activity.

Max, no worries. If you don't feel ready.  

Dustin, you and Dena can probably write two each!

I would be interested to see what the genre and ideas are.

If I think I've got a good concept it may be something to look at.

The summer holidays can be challenging for time,but you never know.

Great idea. I really could do with some motivation to write, perhaps even peer pressure.

I'll give it a go if the 7WC happens, that's for sure. Not sure what to expect, as it would be my first feature, but I'm quite optimistic this would motivate me to actually finish something.

PS.


The 1+6 thing worked for me. I think it helped get things in order.

And I say we just do the 7 weeks.

I'm impressed that so many people think they're capable of banging out a a passable feature within 7 weeks!

That's a madness.

HOW PEOPLE?

I guess I lack the drive, but y'all have got it on lock.

Horror is usually good. We did thriller last time. Another one that companies seem to want a lot of is low budget sci fi. I'd be up for that too.
