Quoted from DS Hopefully you'll manage to churn something out for the OWC as well, was quite looking forward to reading your entry. Best of luck with the feature.

I'm sure I will. I really can't help myself. Even were I writing to a deadline, I'd still find time to enter a short for this contest.

And thanks for wishing me luck on the feature.

I quite like Pia's idea of a no-dialogue horror. There's no better way to exercise the writing muscles. I'd also add a 5 page minimum... just for that extra bit of a challenge.

You don't think it's a challenge writing a three page short, Dustin?

10-12 pages, real horror.  No pissers.  No writing so piss poor it comes off like a pisser.

Those submitting pissers should be outed, vilified, marked for extreme literary persecution, and inserted into the next crop of LIMITS OFF rewrites!

Good morning, Pia!

Quoted from Grandma Bear I wrote A Mime Is A Terrible Thing To Waste for that one.   Let me know if you would like to see the film. They did a great job with it.

Yes, I would.  
Thank you.

Quoted from Dreamscale No writing so piss poor it comes off like a pisser.

Sorry to hear you're not going to be entering this one.

No-dialogue horror is definitely my favourite idea brought up so far. Besides just being an interesting concept, there's probably a lot to gain from it as a writer.

In agreement with Dustin about a relatively high pagecount, if it was to be no-dialogue I'd like it to be 8-12 pages. It's definitely a challenge to come up with a good 3-pager, but aren't those almost always action-line heavy? If the concept is avoiding dialogue.. I'd say doing it for 3 pages would be much easier than doing so for 8 or more.

Quoted from RayW EXTREEEEME >> sex << against genuine leather shoes!

Pass.

Quoted from Reef Dreamer But when is it? In the last few OWC Don has given a weeks notice. If so, it means it would start on the 17th not this Friday. Just a guess.

Just a guess, tho.

Quoted from DustinBowcot Sorry to hear you're not going to be entering this one.

Oh, I will be, Dustin...I will be.

But, as I said, I'm honestly hoping that readers of your script won't think it's a big old pisser, as most seem to do every blind entry you submit.  We can only hope and pray for you.

Best of luck.

Quoted from Dreamscale Oh, I will be, Dustin...I will be.

It's been exactly a year since you last entered, what can only be described as, a very tragic script... and I'm not talking about genre. Since then you've either entered pissers or not entered at all. I had you down as being scared to take it seriously for fear of ridicule from the noobs you regularly used to bash due to your Tourette-like dyslexia.

Anyway, it seems you're finally getting somewhere. Ledbetter has taken you under his wing as his bitch. I'd be careful though mate, if I were you.

It may just start out as the occasional hand or blow job, but who knows what else there is in store for you. It's like bullying, it starts out as the occasional shove, moves onto headlocks, maybe an attempt drowning, finally your head cut off in a local park...

Thanks for the words of warning, Dustin.  I really apprecaite your helpfullness.

Speaking of tragic scripts, bro, c'mon now.  I don't think a single person has ever favorably reviewed any of your OWC entries.  Not only are they downright terrible, but worse for you, they're downright embarrassing.

Here's hoping to 2 things for you this October OWC...

First that your effort is taken seriously, and not thought to be a pisser because of the abysmal writing on display.

Second that you can place in the top 80%.

I highly doubt eitehr will be the case, but I'm hoping for you, Dustin.  You're such a helpful chap, you deserve it.

Thanks mate. It makes me feel a lot better knowing that I have you rooting for me.

We're all rooting for you.  Now, just deliver, damnit.  

Quoted from Dreamscale We're all rooting for you.  Now, just deliver, damnit.

Very thoughtful of you to point that out.

I've been wondering what to get you for xmas this year and I happened to be clearing out my attic when I came across this.



It's got you written all over it.

That too is very thoughtful of you, Dustin, but I don't t quite get it...I'm not dyslexic, never have been, and have always excelled in English, writing, and the like, so giving me such a thoughtful Christmas gift wold really be a complete waste.

Here's my advice...you had this in your attic for a reason - you obviously had to use this antique back in the day.  You still should be using it, based on your current writing.  Do us all a favor and start using it again, mate.

Trust me, it really can't hurt, and hopefully, could actually help.  Try it out for this coming OWC, and maybe, just maybe, you won't be accused of writing another pisser.

You get me?
