Sorry, Steex but it's a month away from Halloween! Let's get something spooky happening here! Maybe a romantic horror? Or even a horror comedy, don't see many of them nowadays... Except for the infamous Cannibal.

I'd bastardize it into a horror romcom.
Two sociopath mutants go out on a date.
Love tryst between vampire & werewolf.
Dr Frankenstein makes love to his monster. And then they switch.

I can work with it.

Ear pinna are different.

I don't really care, just excited there is going to be one.

I normally have an idea with each challenge so let's hope it isn't the one exception. A few past challenges iwould have been tough, indeed I hope it isn't an action based script. That could be tedious.

My one other hope is that Ray doesn't post more weird videos, that current one is seriously creepy.

YES!!!  Woohoo!  Very happy to see this.

Been in Indy all week on business.  After partying like I have this week, I need a frickin' vacation. At least I'll have a 3 day weekend, as I feel like I've put my time in already this week wining and dining.

It always amazes me how many incredibly stupid questions peeps throw out whenever an OWC is announced.  Just downright silly.  10-12 pages, not including a title page.  Seems pretty simple so far.  Just wait till a theme is announcced.  I can already see the inane questions pouring in...

Theme - horror involving a werewolf - does the werewolf have to have teeth and hair?

horror involving all human characters - Can we include dead non human characters?

horror set in the woods - Does it matter what kind of trees make up these woods?  What about using just shrubs and bushes?

horror aboard a ship at sea - how big does the ship have to be?  Can it be a submarine?



Looking forward to the actual OWC as well as the dumbass questions we're going to get.

Just trying to get the natives riled up as well as fired up.

Hanging at a Marriott Courtyard, waiting for a taxi to get my oh so hung over ass to the airport so I can sleep...per chance to dream.  I feel like I've been in Vegas for 3 days - oh the alcohol intake...scary...seriously scary.

Would it surprise anyone that I missed every single morning meeting?  3 hour time difference is a killer going fom west to east.  I guess it probably doesn't help when you're slamming Red Ketels and double Jagers until literally 3:30 AM.

You'd think at my age I'd learn my lesson at some point, but then again, old dogs rarely learn new tricks...

...but I do have a few new tricks up my sleeve for this OWC.

BWOOHAHA!!!!!!

Sorry for the incredibly stupid question > Didn't think I would offend so many people.

As I stated before, I knew exactly what his wording meant. It just seemed very specific to me so I was checking if it wasn't a typo.

No need to turn this into a middle school classroom where teachers belittle students into not participating.


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

Tonight, i was trying to describe an OWC to a non writer friend. It wasn't easy. After all, i"ve only taken part in three but i feel as if i understand what happens...ie chaos, with a touch or bar fight, mixed with uncertainty and fear, plus...

All the others competitions (sorry OWC isn't a competition) are lovely, and i do adore MP, but it is so different.

gosh i'm looking forward to this...

and Jeff, bring it on... I just hope a few of the regulars turn up, have a go etc its only an ego we have to lose after all!!

here's to wednesday, what a lead up

BTW, the "romantic comedy" suggestion was a joke.
I guess I have horrible internet joke delivery...

No reason to be offended, Felipe! This happens every time and like I said, it happens every month at MP too. Just the way it is.

The OWC is traditionally a bit like a brawl! Brace yourselves!!

I can take it. It just seems like a bummer to treat people that way. Particularly new people who would probably just stop showing up on the site from all the animosity.

This site can be real slow sometimes, so my complaint isn't so much that everyone is harping on my "dumbass question," but the fact taht this is what keeps people from participating.

And the answer will always be, "If they can't handle it, then we don't want them here," but I couldn't disagree more. I wish more people posted here on a regular basis. Sometimes I find myself hitting refresh on the portal page and seeing no activity in hours. I think it could be different with a little less of the venom.

Save the venom for your scripts.
