I’m writing... something. Not sure what the hell it is, but it’s something.

You're way ahead of me. I've a thought, but that's about it right now.

No writing here, either...yet,

Sorry to say, but I'm out on this one. Gotta focus on my current project. Sucks too, cuz I had a pretty wild idea.

Still, gonna read as many as I can. Will I be allowed to vote even if I don't enter a script?

As long as you're voting for mine, you're allowed to vote, Zack.

I am 6 pages in but don’t think I’m going to finish. I have too much going, my studies just started, just this week and I’ve got to do everything to pass. It’s a fun challenge though and I could do a more or less decent (for me I mean) script. Too bad for me. This really makes me sad as I wasn’t in last time either.

I want to be in, I've gone as far as picking a thing from each group. I really need to write something but I'm so uninspired at the moment.

Will keep mulling it over and try submit, but not loving my chances at this point.

I got the snow thing nailed. Going to have Jon Snow as my lead and Richard Snowden is a B character - that satisfies the requirement for sure.

Came up with a decent idea that could be pretty good in the right hands... Not sure whether or not I can find and hire those hands in time, though.

You only need to write the script, Dan.

Quoted from LC You only need to write the script, Dan.

Currently working on it. We'll see how it goes

I've got something I'm pretty happy with, going to play around with a few ideas and tidy it up but looks like I'm in this one.

There are nipples but they are all subliminal.

Quoted from Dan_P New guy here Not saying I'll definitely partake already, but I'm interested in this and future OWCs. Looking through older ones I think I get the general idea, but I haven't yet found a thread that explains them from the ground up. Any pointers on how to get started as a OWC-newbie?

Step 1 - Write a script that you believe to be super badass that everyone will love (pay attention to the criteria)

Step 2 - Submit said script, sit back with a glass of wine and bask in that awesome proud feeling you get when finishing a masterpiece (TIP: Enjoy that feeling of optimism while it lasts)

Step 3 - Check the site and see your entry has a couple of comments. With heart in mouth (and clinging on to that optimism from step 2), read the comments.

Step 4 - Cry in a dark room and try to stitch back together the pieces of your script that have been brutally dissected.

Step 5 - Read and comment on as many scripts as you can

Step 6 - check the latest comments on your entry, scream to yourself "YES I KNOW THAT BIT SUCKS! 6 PEOPLE HAVE POINTED IT OUT ALREADY!"

Step 7 - The dust begins to settle. You come to terms with the negative comments and your mind will go 1 of 2 ways (Pick the appropriate one below)
              (A) You take on board the comments, see others point of view, maybe even patterns
                     emerge in the array of advice, and you use them to advance your writing
              (B) You think "Fuck them! what do they know? they can't see that this is a
                    masterpiece!" and vow never to grow or adapt as a writer

Step 8 - (If you picked 7A) - Wait for the next OWC and vow to do better
             (If you picked 7B) - Flee SS with your tail between your legs


Seriously though, have fun  

I only have two bits of advice:-

1) Read and comment on as many entries as you can
2) Being anonymous, everyone is judged by the same standard (Whether seasoned or novice) so some of the comments can seem brutal at first (More so than comments on the general submission). But most people here genuinely want to help - nothing is personal.

Well, If you're going to play in the circus, someone has to be the ringleader... and everyone else is clowns.   Oh... and I'm just gonna leave this here... just to give you guys/gals something to think about-A

Oh I’m agonizing here. I don’t have time for this! I do not
