Quoted from JEStaats Yo, Cam! Where have you been? I take it you're in this round?

Mate!!! Haha, yeah I've been completely side lined with podcasts and other work, which has been good and bad, but I spotted the OWC bat-call and thought I'd jump on board. Missed you lot, been nice to see the discussion has already descended into my territory, that of balls and other bits.

Haha, much like Mossad I should neither confirm or deny I'm in...but like a rubbish Mossad I can officially confirm I have submitted something to Don. Guaranteed to get torn to shreds but hoping there's some xmas cheer about the joint? Maybe? Likely??

Sadly, it looks like I'll sit this one out. I couldn't come up with anything that wasn't either schmaltzy or utterly contrived. Looking forward to reading what others came up with though.

Schmaltzy???

Have I mis-read the criteria again?

I've been sitting on mine for two days now. Time to give it one last read through with fresh eyes and pass it on to the Don.

Or start over....

Don’t lose the faith JE, just imagine someone sitting there reading it and smiling, then put a Christmas hat on them and if it still works then I guess it’s good enough.

Schmaltz and Christmas go hand in hand, like West Ham and Davie Moyes (one for Anthony).

Made one last revision and submitted. Screwed it up for sure.

You're aiming for something that isn't schmaltzy or contrived?
I've been going at this all wrong...

Quoted from Jonah Good day sir... Please can  I still enter for the challenge...

Jonah, welcome!

Yes, you can, and here is the link when you're ready to submit your script:


https://www.simplyscripts.com/unpro_short_exercise1220.html

FYI: I'll post some handy hints for SS in general later. In the meantime...

NB: This is an anonymous challenge.
Do not put your real name on the script.
You can use a pseudonym.

*Reading and reviewing other entries is also good form. Five scripts minimum as per Don's directive.

Hope you have fun!

I agree with what Matty said...

Unless you're going horror... Hello, Hallmark!  

Speaking of, I haven't heard a peep out of Steven Clark for a while...
You better be in, mate.  

Almost done with my new attempt.  The problem is that "almost done" is an issue when you're already well over the 6 page limit.

No Fade In or Fade Out for me!  OK, there's a few lines, now what?

I'll be in, though, 1 way or another.

Thanks Cam... that worldie from Haller was a great early Christmas present!

Jeff and enchanted ornaments. Now, this'll be interesting...

Don't disappoint, Jeff. It's been a while since we had the pleasure.

And where in the hell is Zack these days?

Where is Zack these days?

Very happy with my 1st 7 pages, but it's not done and I'll need to cut 2+ pages.

BUT...i WILL DO IT!!!  

Happy Holidays, everyone!!!

Ok guys. I did look around to find the answer to my questions, but I did not find.

I am not a participant on the OWC challenge , but I would like to make a room to read as many as I can and choose my favorite.  I believe other visitors would like to understand this also.

So how does it work? Only participants can vote?

Once the deadline is over all scripts will be available to the "public"?

I do apologize if these questions were clarified over and over before ...
