Quoted from Reef Dreamer
I'm glad everyone else likes the challenge as I'm completely lost at the moment.



Reef, although I like the theme my mind draws black too. A lot needs to be revealed - talking about all the supernatural stories of each character - and if I don't come up with comprehensible way to do that I'm out.

That's what I usually think the first 3 days after a theme is announced

And....where's all the silly questions. You know, does the motel have to open? or can I use a typhoon rather than a hurricane? And can I include a goat called Phyllis? Usual stuff.

I see some headaches arising today.


YES on the headache. And a little lost with you. But Monday is my day to write....sure I'll think of something! Now, off to St Simons Island to play at the beach for the day! I need one of those 'daylight' rings from Damon...the sun is gonna hurt! LOL

So... stuffed animals and children are a go, right?!



Quoted from Don
Odd but interesting character(s) take refuge from a hurricane in a beat-up motel and are forced to make a choice between good or evil in order to survive the night.

And they can be odd but interesting Shakespearean character(s) (no miners) taking refuge from hurricane Ryan in a beat-up Meg Motel, forced to make a choice between good or evil supernatural gang rapes in order to survive the night, right?

Stuppidest question in OWC history, but sorry, I gotta ask it, is a child 12 and under or 16 and under, not sure the legal techinicalities are in what "no children" means?

Can the characters go outside or do they have to stay inside?...I'm just asking because if they go outside there would have to be special effects for the hurricane, right?

Seems a lot of boundaries with this OWC so I see a few breaking them, or at least bending them.

I hope to enter but my stupidity last week might hamper my involvement

Could I get a 52 year old man to play the role of a 6 year old child?,  that would also cover the "odd" part of the requirement.

Miners?  Minors? Regardless, face palm

We'll will go with "Adult" here in the US and A.  18 and over is an adult.  17 and under is a child.

I'm going to leave that up to the imagination of the writer who, I'm sure, can make clever use of light and sound...

This is far and away the best OWC theme I've seen during my time at SS. Wonderful challenge. Alas I won't be able to enter, but I'll definitely be reading a few.

If you are a little unsure of how to pursue, take a look at Right At Your Door, which is about a guy seeking refuge in his home from a dirty bomb whereupon he faces very tough choices leading up to the final "oh shit" dilemma. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458367/

Too young. Like I suggested during last night's chat and mentioned in the posts, while reading, I have chosen not to knock a soul for it if they have it in there. Stock footage, poor man process, lots of different ways to do it on the cheap if it's brief.

I used to like you David.  

Having gone to bed without major indulence, but not feeling well, i woke up in the night to be sick and since getting up have had no idea...at all. Especially as I can't include   a goat called Phyllis, just ruined it for me

Heads up, Bill!

I don't want you to commit copyright infrigement...

I think A Goat Called Phyllis was the sequal to A Fish Called Wanda.

Not a well known fact since it went straight to video.

I hope we can still be friends.
