Quoted from Don Yes.

That wasn't a yes/no question. Lol. I'm guessing you mean it can be either, though, I hope. Right? =)

Yes.

This is starting to remind me about MP. Chris could post the most simplest comps, but people still had a million questions. "All your characters have to be cats", then people would ask questions like "but what if the cat has a bird friend, is that bird allowed to speak?". And the funny thing is that after all these wacky questions were asked, in the end, no scripts were ever submitted where these questions ever even came up. In other words, there were never any scripts where the cats had a speaking bird friend. I don't get it. The assignment was simple, IMHO.

"Topic: At sundown on October 31st the doorways to the Otherworld open, allowing the inhabitants to come into our world and also allowing humans to go to the Otherworld. Sunrise on November 1st, that door closes.

Genre: Horror Fantasy

Limitations: Only one character can have dialogue.  (Writer cannot use Voice Over, however the character can speak off camera.)"

How hard is this to grasp? Not trying to sound cranky, I'm just perplexed, I guess.  

All I want to know is if this mysterious other world thing has to be an actual other world. Then again, if it's not listed in the limitations, is that actually part of the contest?

I went back and edited my response. I meant that, yes, it could be a 'world' the protagonist has not been to. I think there is some cool stuff you could explore here.

It does not have to be an actual other world. It could be a metaphorical Other world. And, I think it would be cool to explore that. I didn't think of that at the times wrote the challenge.

Something different than our reality here on earth. Not a different geological place the protag's never been to. A world that is different from ours. A place where the laws of nature might be different. A place where supernatural characters might live. Anything that is different than our world we know and see every day. Having said that, it doesn't have to be a huge difference from our own dayly world. Maybe in "my" otherworld everything is exactly like my real world except for my dog speaks to me...in Italian.

Okay. Thank you for clearing that up. If I can get it written, I'll be in. =)

What Pia said. My other world is the once a year trip to a dinner out of my cultural comfort level.

The Otherworld = Jeff and Shawn's shared dirty laundry basket...

Who cares what it means? Just interpret it however you want and write the story. If everyone's underworld, overworld or otherworld were the same then it would make for a pretty boring contest.

I have an idea and I'll write it. Don't know if I'll submit though. Depends on at the end of the week whether I feel like having the ass end ripped out it.

Wouldn't worry about it. Actually, that's half the fun. Those that do indulge in ripping ass ends, a phrase I use sparingly, are often talentless hacks who can barely read or write themselves.

Afterwards, you get to rip them right back.

The other side is you may get some good advice, from those that can.

And who knows, someone might like it enough to make it. It certainly won't happen if it just stays on your hard drive.

Best of luck with it

Agreed. I feel the only way I'll ever get better is by posting my work on here. There are a lot of knowledgeable people around here that give great thoughts and tips on your work.

I don't see the point in writing something and not posting it. How would you ever know where you're going wrong?

Would you believe,..first draft done.

I'm aiming to submit the script that Ray hates most and thinks is the least likely to be produced. Oh yes, bring it on...mind you with these criteria I could have some challengers

Script wise, it is definitely average, but something to work on.

Glad something came to me. Don't want to miss these.
