So the genre is already picked, and it is despised. I think I've seen the despised genre before. That would be the Mockbuster, right? Those movies put out by The Asylum? I call Transmorphers II.

I was actually thinking today it might be "mockbuster", George. Random thought, dismissed it straight away. But if it is, I call Glourious Basterds.

My pick is anime, adventure or western. Probably western.

Quoted from Don
I've suddenly discovered that the the genre I've picked is probably the most despised on the site and the theme pretty unworkable.


I know. It's an one page contest, the theme a headless woman! AND  the title has to be translated in Masai dialect.

Yes!!!

Quoted from Higgonaitor

I Googled Alan Holman, and discovered a site with 30 Banana Chan scripts.  So I then came back here and searched for Banana Chan in the Series section, and found that Wesley and Mr. Holman had had issues between them?, but no more than that.  So I did a Google of Banana Chan and found out what it was.  Manga?  Anyway, I hope the fella is making a go of it.  He has currently raised zero dollars of the 33 million he's looking for to produce his series, according to a tracker on his site.

The most despised Genre must be comedy, because it's so hard to write.  The theme could be about being positive-minded in online forums.

As I've bailed on the last few OWC's I guess I'll give this one a go.  I may of course regret this when the theme is announced lol.


Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.

The real question is which version of Banana Chan you found. The dude has rewritten it so much that he's dug it into a hole. Anyway, Alan was one of those difficult posters around here that is often banned as quickly as he shows up. We also know he does read the board still, so this little conversation just might be read by him.

He's creative enough, but he got himself into a rut with Banana Chan and never really got away from it. His enthusiasm is admirable, but overwhelming if he hangs around too long, since he also never stops about it. We all have our magnum opus, but we can't go around talking about it all the time hoping someone will read it...generally the opposite happens.

It's SO easy to hitch your wagon to that one thing your so sure will 'make it', that you can miss opportunities elsewhere.

@Jeff - Yes, like Frostbite.

Anxious to hear the theme and genre of the OWC!! Anyway, my first language is Spanish, so I hope I don't realize too late that I have misspelled a word for accident   Wait... then you would all now it was me!!!  

One question: This is my first contest and I have never posted a script before on the forum... How one does that? Or how do I do it for the contest if different?
