this is... cool. I was going to write a script where all the characters would've been talking cats, but I guess I could do non-talking people. Phil

I like the theme, should be interesting to read these in the end. Hopefully I can come up with something half-decent myself. Good luck all.

Uhhh...only 1 character can have dialogue? Like what...talking to himself? Talking to others who can't respond? Am I misreading something here?

So, only one character with dialogue. Additional character(s) can speak, but must be OS. Do I have that right? Steve

Looks good. Humans going to the otherworld. Otherwordians coming here. All in six to ten pages. That alone begs challenge. Grass is always greener... Good luck, scream writers!

Also, is the other world actually called "Otherworld," or can we change the name of the other world to something else?

Only one character can have dialogue. In other words, only one character has a speaking role. The character can talk to whomever or whatever he/she/it wishes. However, those other characters cannot have dialogue in the script.

You can call the Otherworld whatever you wish.

I have no idea what you are talking about...
Okay, to be clear - one character only is allowed to have dialogue in the entire script? ?? Sorry, in my defense it's early here and I just got up.
Correct. Only one character can have dialogue... in the entire script - beginning, middle and end.
And, before anyone asks. TV, radio, robots that speak, hand puppets that speak would be considered a character.

I invited some
friends of mine (besides SS peepers) over, hopefully we can have a New Writer turnout like we never seen before.
As to the OWC itself...I got just the thing.

I see hand puppets!
Yes
the hand puppets from hell! (or at least one very evil Ventiloquist,)

Hmm, time for some seriously rambling monologues. I guess one character talking with clones of himself would be cheating?
