I'm announcing this a few hours early because I have a bit of a conflict later. According to Mayan prophecies the world is about to end on December 21st at midnight. Therefore it makes a lot of sense to get in one more screenwriting challenge before that happens. Right? Here's the criteria. Genre: Open Theme: Your script must contain a prophecy.
- The prophecy must not be the Mayan prophecy or related to the Mayan prophecy.
- The prophecy can be as large or as small or as real or as fictional as you want.
- The prophecy doesn't have to be the main story line but your story should not be able to exist without the prophecy.
Pages: 6 - 12 Budget: Open (but remember most filmmakers that frequent this site like low to no budget scripts). Due: December 21st midnight - Eastern US time. Now go write a screenplay, write it as if it were the last screenplay you'll ever pen. Leave your legacy to the post-apocalyptic world. And when you're done submit it here. Do not submit it to unproduced scripts use the following link... http://simplyscripts.com/unpro_short_exercise_12_12.html**** This is not anonymous so put your name and copyright on your script. The limit is one screenplay per entrant (though I doubt anyone will actually monitor that). |

Well, that's pretty open! Everyone should be able to work within these parameters, I'd say. |

Comedy! Thanks for the earlier start MC. It's Sat morn so I don't have to wait till this arve to find out like normal. I recall hearing about a prophecy when I was in Arizona in 1997. It mentioned references to a 'Bush that would rise in December 2012, then fall down in a drunken stupor.' And there was mention of ' Dreamscales let loose in the bathing areas of Rams'... Hmmm, might be able to work these into my script.... |

Yup, very fair. Dena will submit no less than a dozen. The hardest part for her will be coming up with names for herself. I offer some help:
Dusty Carr Yellow Fellow Pale Shade Tye Sharona Florida Bones Bo Tanical Summer Storm
Ok, sounds like a fun one! Good set up. |

Thanks for the earlier start MC. It's Sat morn so I don't have to wait to masturbate like normal.
I recall hearing about a prophecy when I was in Arizona in 1997.
It mentioned references to a 'Bush that would rise in 2013, and become a great and mighty force.
And there was mention of the St. Louis Rams winning out the season and beating the Swiners in the opening round of the Playoffs.
Hmmm, might be able to work these into my script, but I'm worried about being too graphic when I write about pleasuring myself. I know bestiality isn't all that popular in the states, but it sure gets me off! |

Yeah, I'll pay that one, bro! Nice! Seriously, this is a cool challenge. Should get a nice mix too, as we don't have to slot in rundown motels or wheelchairs and stuff. Thinking of doing a horror and a comedy, see what happens. Is it still anon, MC? Sorry , just re-read your first post. |

Prophecy - if someone has been on the piss all day and cant even type or read... they won't feel well the next morning!!!
Spooky but true. V true.
Anyway, apologies for the bizarre comment.
What it was meant to say was, best of luck, I won't be able to join in but I will try and read. |

LocationLos Angeles Posts2740 Posts Per Day 0.55 |
Hey, Guys! Sounds like a ridiculously fun theme. But I'm going to have to pass. After all that CT gloom and tragedy, I took a holiday themed task on to distract me. So, I'm rewriting a feature this weekend that producers expect to see Mondayish. And on top of that, the new car smell new draft of Clone Wife made Scriptshadow! So, my brainpan will be rattling around like a pachinko ball all week! I'm just gonna keep my head in the game. Keep making pages until I write THE END. And try to keep my head from exploding and not think too much about stuff! Have a jazzy OWC! Regards, E.D. |

Like Bill, my head feels like it may explode. I got ripped last night. Drank about 8 large vanilla porters after downing 3 NOS and vodkas...oh yeah...and a few Jagies.
My Santa hat was proudly on for all to see last night.
I need a few egg burritos!!! |

Where the cup sits here in this picture, Lizzy once sat, a teenage girl watching the passing carriages, dreaming of better things. She hardly could conceive then what terrible things she was capable of.
Next the cup travels to a forsaken river where court testimony reveals that Satan baptized his minions. Picture to follow. |

Got it about the cup, Kevin So, some of you got the cup then... Hmm... Must be something I missed when I was away from the site. I'll most probably skip this. I'll be on vacation when everybody else will be reading - and I know it wouldn't be able to go through them up until 29th. Plus no idea yet anyway. |

I don't see this happening for me either. I probably should have written last night, but instead, I watched football and shopped online.
Going out tonight, so it's not looking good. |

Jeff!!! I was looking forward to your take on Bill's drunk post the other day. Oh well...
I might have to sit this one out as well. Good luck to everyone who enters. |

And I make a prophecy....
If we don't get good enough number of entries for this very simple OWC - Future OWCs will be very difficult (like the last one). |

Almost done mine. One more quick scene.
Funny thing is I only came up with the idea because of this OWC, but now that I think about it, some might say it's not quite prophecy. Oh well. To my thinking it is. |

A prophecy is just a prediction of the future - nothing more. |

So was I. If he could make sense of it, that was more than me. Mind you, my wife did have to rescue me from my own hallway! Which made her soooo happy. Ah, she's great, puts up with me. I'm sorry I'm not in this. I haven't turned down an OWC, official or unofficial, since I joined this site. I just have three scripts going at once, plus Christmas and parties etc, and didn't want to promise a script then not attend. Hope you get enough Michael as its a great idea. We only had 7? last year, but still worthwhile. |

Yes Kev. Sounds like my shorts. I like going for at least a $1 Million budget in my shorts.
My ill fated UOWC started at the base of a giant pyramid. The next scene was near a giant igloo. From there, we went to a giant fairy glen, followed by a giant cave. Guest appearances by Yul Brynner, Christopher Lee, and a few others (yeah, I know, Yul's been dead for ages). |

I only needed Yul's giant face, hovering over the pyramid, delivering a prophecy to a jean short short wearing Stevie. Pia was at the igloo. Dena was in the fairy glen. And, Shawn was in the cave. If anyone is interested in shooting this epic, please contact me and we'll make it a reality. |

I got devastating news today...my flight into Green Bay, WI got canceled due to the bigass dump in the Midwest. Couldn't reroute or make the trip, so this kid is stuck in AZ, but I do have multiple options for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...just not like being with family.
I didn't write one. Sorry...you would have loved the pisser I was working on.
Hay Holidays, everyone around the world. |

The good news is that it's the 21st and so called end of the world but I'm still alive! Also, the little matter of finishing up work in a few hours for the Christmas break. Beer o'clock is just round the corner. The bad news is that I haven't managed to get anything together for this challenge...sorry. Will try to read a few though. Merry Christmas to everyone! |

A small thing I'm sure someone noticed by now: Nawazm's username and real name are attached to one of the scripts. Is that a fakeout by someone or was. what we had here, a failure to communicate? |

It appears that we have some pisstakes entered. I'm glad you guys are calling them out because I'm busy with Holiday stuff until Wednesday and I simply don't have the time to read those. Sorry! |

Anyone who passes on The Rainbow Serpent will be doing themselves a huge injustice.
This is easily one of the very best pissers I've ever seen. It's not as easy as one probably thinks to write a hilarious pisser, complete with hilarious errors throughout.
This is a true gem!!! |

I wish I was the writer.
You said the same thing about Cowboy Sam, remember. I was innocent then and still innocent now. |

I'm pretty upset. I whipped out 7 pages of a story, flew from PHX to DFW to see what my wife looks like for Christmas, and caught the flu either on the plane or the airport. I have been on my back since and didn't get to finish. I will still finish it and throw it up in the Shorts section. I am flying back today and will try to read and comment on some of these. |
