Quoted from Forgive
Mr Stupid's wondering what edt means?


edt -> Eastern Daylight Time.  

The entirety of the OWC takes place in Eastern Daylight Time which is UTC/GMT -4 hours.  So, the OWC is a little bit harder for anyone who doesn't live on the Eastern Seaboard of the US and A.  Everyone else has to do math.

Wednesday, October 10th - Genre and Topic Released

Wednesday to Wednesday?  What gives?

Whenever I play, I always look forward to that initial late-night burst on the first Friday -- and I know others squeeze every last minute out of the midnight deadline on the second Friday.  Might be tough on a Wednesday.

Not that it matters a great deal.  Just curious.

October is always my favorite one.  Keeping my fingers crossed for horror.  Been a while since I trotted out something new.

No, there was one back in Febuary. The thread -topic is wayyyyyy down. The theme was witchcraft, but in a non-fantasy/horror setting and a springboard for the recent 7wk if I'm not mistaken

Technically, last year's October OWC was the last official OWC where people wrote shorts. The one this year was a "First 10 pages" challenge.

There was the unofficial one last december though, but there were only like 8 scripts.

Is this a trick question?


Quoted from Don
Writers have one week to write a short script 10 to 12 pages on the theme and genre announced on October 10th.


How about... we first change the word "pages" to "dollars" and then change the whole statement to "We will pay you 10 to 12 dollars."

How many "dollars" are you expecting?
10 to 12.

Stick to the page limits. 10-12. Or you shall suffer an online bludgeoning, the likes of which you've never seen.

I'm going to guess by that relatively "large" page limit the genre WON'T be horror.
Otherwise it'll be 30+ entries x an average of 11pgs ea. = easily >330pgs + comments to read.

8 - 10 pages for horror is traditionally enough to make us all ill from reading+analysis more than writing. And I'm more durable than most.

Thanks for the incredibly helpful response!

I understand what his wording implies. I'm asking if that's a mistake, because it seems like an incredibly narrow and high page specification. Especially for people who end up having script ideas that really should be 5 pages long and end up filling the rest of it with fluff to meet the page demands. It could make for some very tedious reads.

It's not a bad idea to allow people to write up to 12 pages, but as I'm sure most of us have figured it out by now, a lot of 12 pagers really should have been 4-6 pagers with tight editing.

Though I'm glad I gave you a chance to show of your flawless thinking skills.

You need to write a 10-12 pager with tight editing and no padding.  We all will know if you're padding.  And the title page does not count toward the page count.

OWC has never had the page limit at 5 pages, I'm pretty sure. I believe the page limit came about years ago when some people decided to submit 1-3 (    ) page pissers.

Alrighty then, will do.

I'm not saying people won't know when you're padding. I'm saying some writers don't know when they are padding. And then we end up reading it.

Halloween is on a Wednesday.  Not that there is a connection between the OWC and Halloween.  

Folks.  Don't get too hung up on the page limitations, yet.  I originally wrote 10 to 12.  I may move that up or down.  On October 10, when the theme and genre are announced, I will layout the framework for the challenge.

Cool! My first October OWC. Hopefully will take part but I guess that depends on the theme?

I doubt I’ll be reading all the entries this time though; doesn’t the October OWC have almost double the entries to what a normal OWC has?

I guess we'll see...

When the genre is Horror, nearly everyone "plays" -- so the turnout is big, both writers and readers.

But, of course, the genre can't always be Horror.  We accept that.  

But come the Halloween season, we at least get to cross our fingers for a little carnage....

You know, I only participated in said horror OWC once. People liked the script despite the fact I didn't but they all agreed I completely destroyed the rules. Horror and I is like comedy and I, they just don't mix.

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.

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.


My scripts  HERE

The Elevator Most Belonging To Alice - Semi Final Bluecat, Runner Up Nashville
Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.  Third - Honolulu
Ultimate Weapon - Fresh Voices - second place

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.

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

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.

I agree with scaring away new members and plenty people have left over the years because of it.

When it comes to the OWC, this is just the beginning. Wait until the theme and genre is announced! That's when things really start to get rowdy around here. Then wait until there are 40+ scripts submitted and it's revealed 20% of the writers are not member and didn't even bother to read any of the scripts! It's all part of it.

I don't think the "dumbass" was in reference to your question.   I'm pretty sure it was in reference to the questions that will come after the genre/theme is announced.  And just remember there are no dumb questions... so anyone who calls them dumb is merely reflecting.

Oh, I've been here long enough to have gotten acquainted with Mr. Bush and some of the others. I can take it and I can see when things are said to instigate forum brawls.

I'm just not sure about the ones that are on the cusp of joining or join and leave after a week or after their first script is deemed unfit for toilet paper.

Felipe, and anyone else that felt offended by my comments - this was not intended directly at anyone.  It is a general statement and as said, it will occur again and again once more info is released

In no way was I or would I eve try and run someone off or scare someone off.

As my little joke question post poked fun at questions that will most likely actually arise.  Personally, I don't understand where such questions could possibly come from, but trust me,m they will come and come again.

Just as a word of warning, the more questions that are asked, the more rigid the requirements become.  My advice?  Don't ask questions.  Write your entry so that it falls within whatever boundaries The Don dolls out.  Quite simple, actually.  If someone or everyone doesn't think you followed the challenge rules, so be it.

Most importantly, have fun with it, because that's what it's all about.  Think outside the box and put your best foot forward.  I'm gonna attempt to put all 3 of my feet forward here.

Sorry if anyone took my words in a way they were not intended.  I apologize right here and now.

I'm offended that you're offended.
I'm a victim!
It's my hope and dream that the entertainment industry would promote and encourage new fodder for the machine so that there would be EVEN MORRRRRE content of dubious merit.

Your story is in here.

Didn't someone around here recently state that something to the effect of "Just because your screenplay was turned down doesn't mean it sucked. It just means it wasn't excellent. It might be good. But not excelllent."

How about instead of no dialogue,
we do no action?

10-12 page monologue?
...on anything magical.

Can I just toss in a token image or brief reference to the theme like they do in 48hr Film Fests or does the story have to be replete with it?

I vote for the double genre of epic short.
Theme - Fluffing. (Go ahead and make that a GLBT fluffing if you want. It might be entertaining.)

I've heard a rumour that the OWC is going to be a 10-12 page Romantic Comedy with Horror, involving a Werewolf, set on a ship in the woods and with no dialogue but is a monologue.
Sounds pretty straight forward to me.

It would be very interesting to, one day, do a Mad Libs-style OWC. See how different people can get within a set skeleton...

Let me get this straight.

You tell me what to do.
You tell me I have a week to do it.
Then after I do it, you ridicule and berate me.

Mad Libs OWC would be hilarious!
I think we should do a "contest" just for the heck of it.
I think we would definitely get some good laughs out of it.

I guess it's time for another round of STUPID QUESTIONS!

If the problem with a horror OWC is that too many people enter, wouldn't it be better to not allow non-members to participate?

Felipe, I think one benefit to it being open is that it gets new people involved. That's how Dena started, and many others. I think the OWC is a gateway to the site for many.

I think we usually get 35 to 45 scripts for Halloween. This is just my second, so I could be wrong.

It's a lot to read, but you don't have to read them all.

The first couple of days, I try to read the ones no has read yet, or not many have. But then as it gets later in the week, I tend to skip those with a low read number. You reach a point where you want to read the ones that are easy to read.

Try to read the ones that stir up discussion or get a ton of reads before you vote.

Think of it as an open golf tournament.

Anyone can throw their (unqualified) hat into the ring.
(As if simply joining simplyscripts.com was a hurdle of any kind. Pfft.)

Of the film genres, dramas are overwhelmingly the most plentiful.
http://www.the-numbers.com/market/Genres/
But they bring in sh!t revenue.

Adventure films bring in the most revenue, but are cost prohibitive to produce with action films likewise right behind them.

But horror, classic SS Oct OWC fare, is relatively not much more expensive to shoot/produce than drama while bringign in a decent return on investment.

Ergo... SS Oct OWC: Horror is quite popular to bring the bugs outta the woodwork.
And we wanna see alllll the flavors of bugs we can!

I say the more the merrier! Last year this is the ONLY way I ever would have finished a screenplay at all. Here's how it went.

-Wow there's a contest!
-Now how do I do this?
-I try.
-Then start getting feedback WTH these people must hate me.
-WTF? You mean I gotta actually work here and read other work??? Felt like I signed up for some BDSM meetup group *teasin*
-OMG I am learning!
-These people are my mentors, teachers and friends!
-I love this shit! I can't get enough! *sings --- Hurt so good..come on baby make it hurt so good*

haha so...unleash the kraken! And let's get down to business Celebrating my one year anniversary!!!

In all seriousness, that's the beauty of SS.  You not only get to learn for free but you can also make some meaningful, lasting relationships.

What's the price of that?

I'll try to be nice this OWC, as long as everyone else will as well.  Sometimes that Felipe can be a real bully, you know.

I'll just take that as a reference to my last OWC. =D

Anyway, I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to join, but if we made people join in order to participate, we'd be getting new members and, who knows, maybe they'd stick around if Jeff was nice enough.

Don used the same "a drum, a drum" thing in the last OWC, so I don't think it's indicative of the theme.

It was actually the Feb 2011 OWC (kinda horror themed).

Dang I aint been doing this as long as I thought. lol

I promise, on my living mother's grave, that I will write and submit, no matter what the given genre and theme are, my entry a horror.

I think the challenge should be called, "Hug a transvestite!"

Any genre, any time period, just needs a transvestite called Gerald, ok the name is optional.

Maybe you could earn an extra bonus point if, within the script, you are able to include his nick name, Clever Dick.

Oh the possibilities...


Ps this better start soon before the really weird ideas start coming out.

It's now Wednesday the 10th here in Oz, so technically the OWC is on, baby!

I've created my own:

GENRE - Horror

THEME - Jeff Bush's bedroom

Ok, there's a few rules and things that need to be adhered to...

The bedroom can depicted as a 'normal' room, though in Jeff's world, this might not be possible. A dungeon type setup is ok. Extra points given if it resembles a bathroom in a gay night club.

A cast of three characters must be used. One can be in a wheelchair, that's optional. One must be a heroic Aussie guy, extremely well - hung, who has come to rescue the others from Jeff's deviant clutches.

STRICTLY NO FEMALES! This is a horror story not a fucking fantasy - why would there be chicks in Jeff's bedroom? Come on people, get with the program. An animal is permitted and doesn't count towards the cast list. More kudos gained if the said animal is furry and has a limb missing ( three legged llamas rule!). Also this creature must be able to withstand sexual advances made from any character who is an Arizonian.

The script can be set in any time period from now to say, March next year. Bonus points if you have a copy of USA Today visible, dated February 2013, with the headline, 'Niners Win 6th Super Bowl'...

At least 4 Beatles albums must be seen in the said room. If you can make them Abbey Road, the White Album and Revolver, well, it's all damn good. Huge high five if one of your characters is named Ringo...

That's  about it for now. Good luck to all who enter and start writing!

Could have a day off on Friday so time to write.....

I've a feeling there will be a lot of scripts entered as everyone seems to be itching for this.  I know Stevie must be itching, what with 1600 crabs crawling around in his under carriage.

Ray, you're images and videos disturb me.  I wonder what the hell your script will do? lol

He's just giving extra time to work up your iambic pentameter so you can write your Shakespearean OWC entry correctly. If your entry contains a monologue, it must be in sonnet form. Remember the rhyme scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG.

Here's a little something to get you all in the mood for the Shakespearean OWC...


INT. CASTLE - DAY

Stone predominates the setting, tapestries add flavour.

In the high ceiling foyer, one sword slashes down only to be
stopped by another.  PADOGMA belongs to the first sword and
AROMAGIO belongs to the second.

        AROMAGIO
Where didst thou learn to fight, a
nunnery?

The tension on the swords is palpable. Padogma grunts with
effort.

        PADOGMA
Tis a shame that a steel rod
prevents thou from meeting your
truest destiny.

        AROMAGIO
And what would that be, one of your
kisses?

        PADOGMA
A kiss of steel that makes you
twins.

        AROMAGIO
I already have twice the fight as
thou.

And the swords ring as Aromagio rolls away, then stands.
Padogma's sword touches the floor with a clink.

        AROMAGIO
And twice the speed. Pity thou
aren't younger.

Padogma give chase, his sword raised, one arm raise behind
him for balance.

        PADOGMA
Younger than thou and I would need
mother's teat.

        AROMAGIO
Then a pity I'm not younger.

        PADOGMA
In a moment sir, thou wilt not
worry of thine age.

He slashes at Aromagio but Aromagio hops back. He raises his
sword in time to catch Padogma's blade on it's return.

        AROMAGIO
Because victory is ageless.

        PADOGMA
Victory? For you? Only if thou
dreams of it.

        AROMAGIO
Then quickly, bring me the fluffy
pillows so that we might begin our
Good. Night's. Sleep.

In a deft move Aromagio disarms Padogma. Then using his sword
he flings Padogma's sword a short distance away. He holds the
tip of his sword against Padogma's neck.  Padogma flinches as
a small drop of blood forms at the point.

        AROMAGIO
Methinks I've one point now but
thou hast none.

        PADOGMA
A small setback, nothing less,
nothing more.

        AROMAGIO
Twould be more if my point had been
deeper?

        PADOGMA
Our fortune then that you are most
shallow.

        AROMAGIO
Thou jests?! When I could easily
end it.

Aromagio tenses with rising anger, Padogma closes his eyes.
QUEYNTELLA calls from above.

        QUEYNTELLA
Dearest Padogma! Thine tea looms
quite near.

Both heads turn toward the voice. Padogma uses the
opportunity to roll away.  Aromagio flicks at him with the
end of his sword but misses.

Padogma retrieves his sword as he rolls up into a sitting
position and just manages to block Padogma's downward slash.

        AROMAGIO
For you, luck would be a lady
tonight.

Another slash, blocked, Padogma scurries backwards. Aromagio
gives chase.

        PADOGMA
A lady that's the source of your
problems.

        AROMAGIO
Is it now so easy to change one's
sex?

Pagdoma lunges.

        PADOGMA
Foul creature, return to hell
whence you came!

Aromagio dodges.

        AROMAGIO
What? You would have miss all of
this fun.

Pagdoma hacks.

        PADOGMA
You'll miss your head if I can have
my way!

Aromagio blocks.

        AROMAGIO
You want a neck and all you get is
wind.

Pagdoma hacks.

        PADOGMA
You are the windiest person I know!
And you don't care who you might
share it with!

Aromagio parries.  

        AROMAGIO
So it's not her nose in a twist
after all?

And Aromagio rolls away.  Pagdoma pants as he chases after
him.

        PADOGMA
You've smelt enough for everyone
present.

Aromagio stands a distance away.

        AROMAGIO
It was not I who blew the big brown
horn.

Much to Aromagio's surprise, Pagdogma leaps the distance and
knocks Aromagio to the ground.  Aromagio's sword clatters
away.  

        PADOGMA
You honked near my wife and you
will pay.

Padogma readies his sword.  Aromagio's shaking in his boots.

        AROMAGIO
All of this fuss over some wayward
air.  I pray, let me up and friends
we'll remain.  

        PADOGMA
I prefer friends that are empty of
gas. To accomplish that I may need
cut you.

Padogma lays his sword across Aromagio's neck.

        AROMAGIO
I am innocent, sir, I did not poot!

        PADOGMA
The guilty all proclaim their
innocence. And what makes you so
bloody different?

        QUEYNTELLA (O.S.)
Boys! Boys!

They look up. Queyntella watches over the bannister.

        QUEYNTELLA
I shant call you men when you're
like this.

        PADOGMA
Darling, I am defending your honor.

        QUEYNTELLA
By being so rude to our special
guest.

        PADOGMA
But...

        QUEYNTELLA
I want you up off of him this
instant.

Padogma sulkily rises.  Aromagio stand and dusts himself off.

        AROMAGIO
Your husband believes I insulted
you. If this be the case, I
apologize.

        QUEYNTELLA
You have nothing to apologize for.

        PADOGMA
He farted in your presence. He must
die.

He lifts his sword.

        QUEYNTELLA
Padogma!

He drops his sword.

        QUEYNTELLA
There where three of us sitting in
that room.  What makes you think it
was his bottom burp?

        PADOGMA
I'm certain that it wasn't mine!

Then it dawns on him.  He looks up, Queyntella smiles
demurely. Then he shyly glances at Aromagio who is trying not
to chuckle.

        PADOGMA
I think I might owe an apology.

Aromagio slaps him on the shoulder.

        AROMAGIO
Tis done. I would have reacted the
same. And tis not often I get such
practice.  

        PADOGMA
Twas good exercise, we should do it
more...

        QUEYNTELLA
If you've kissed and made up, tis
tea time.  I've made a new recipe
this evening.

        PADOGMA
Yes, I can smell it. What pray
could that be?

        QUEYNTELLA
Shredded pork in a thick tomato
sauce, smothered with legumes. 'Tis
called, "Pork and Beans".

                                             THE END

And I'd like to remove the word "is" and add the word "are."

That's what happens when you add things to lists: Grammatical errors.

Hmmm... Columbian rape challenge?
Sounds pretty solid to me!

And the best part is, I won't even have to do any NEW writing.
God, I must have at least half a dozen scripts that use that as the theme/concept.

Michael, whilst thy scene appeareth to be in the Shakespearean way, it leaveth much to be desired. Thy grasp of the grammar of the bard is not quite up to par. One cannot help but notice that thou usest the words thou and you most indiscriminately. By my usage of thou, I speak to thee as a friend, whereupon should I choose to use you, I would speak to thee as an acquaintance or as a servant to his master. Such was the influence of the French. If I might also venture upon another point of contention, thine usage of the verbs showeth to me that thou needst more study upon the subject. To be fair, by the time of Shakespeare, the people used you and thou most indiscriminately as well, so perhaps the fault lieth not upon thee. And the verb conjugations are now quite archaic in English but alive and well in German.

Clearly it was meant as a bit of fun, George.

It's a rough draft I wrote for Movie Poet several years ago but abandoned for another story.  I didn't even realize the story was finished until I checked it after all the talk of Shakespeare in this thread.  I thought people might be amused by it, so I posted it.  I was certainly amused by it.  

Taking it to a final draft point and clearing up the iambic as well as language issues.  I don't think so.  It's a silly little skit that no one would likely produce.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on it.

Jeff is back in AZ, not CA.  Jeff's also had back trouble all week, which makes him very grumpy.  Jeff was also awakened last night by a frickin' hail storm with thunder and lightning ripping the night apart.

Good thing the OWC hasn't started yet.

Ok,the bets are off.

For some reason I thought you were in CA, my bad. I've flew into Phoenix once, and then drove down to some place like Bisbee, sound right?  But thats a different story and a different thread.

All the best everyone with this, glad the genre etc is declared tonight, I just Don doesn't get too prescriptive and there is a degree of freedom.

Here's to two weeks of roller coaster

Jeff, you fuzzy headed indigent...

Of course it’s bad for ya.

The best things in life usually are.

Take for instance…

Huffing Freon

Illegal midget tossing (That’s when they don’t wear a helmet)

Nose picking. It’s not really bad for you but it’s damm sure fun

Midnight Dutch ovens and Cleveland steamers

Heck Jeff, without things such as synthetic weed and bath salts to entice us to eat each others faces off, why would life be worth living…

I ask you, WHY???

I say DRINK UP…

TO DRUKEN SKYPE-FEST…

*** Darren,

Just sent you a request on Skype...


Darren, watch out. Shawn's been known to try and elicit sex online from young boys all the way up to old men.  Be careful...

While everyone is hung over tomorrow morning and vomiting on themselves...  
I will be writing.  

When you are lying in bed cursing the morning sun...
I will be writing.

When everyone's head feels like it is being slammed into a brick wall...
I will be writing.

(Insert evil laugh here.)

My poison was red wine last night – its bright and early here so coffee all the way. Although lunchtime can’t quick enough, it’s not only when the OWC is announced but also beer-o-clock.

I don't get the point of non-alcoholic beer. Beer usually tastes like shit to begin with and only gets better when you're drunk.
