All you guys are finished and I haven't even started yet. I have a title, sort of characters, semi-location and no plot.

Wow, three pages into my script and I had an epiphany.  No freaking way I'm entering this OWC.   Way too much commitment having to read and respond to 20 or 30 entries.  No way.

I'll still read and respond to some, but at least I won't be obligated.    Much easier.

Where does it say you have to read all or even most of the entries? Just read a few.

Definitely an unwritten rule and understanding.

Why anyone would enter and not intend on reading at least as many as you receive is way beyond me.  How can you honestly judge a favorite by reading just a few?  Makes no sense at all.

I'll read, or attempt to read every single entry whether I enter or not.  Just the cool thing to do, in my book.

I think we can put a stop to scaring people off the OWC because of unwritten and unrealistic rules.  

It is polite and it is considered good form to read and comment on a reasonable number of entries if you enter yourself.  However, there is no rule about reading or commenting on any of the scripts if you enter.

That said, if I were entering then I would read them all (or as close to all as I could) just to size up the competition.

Quoted from M.Alexander


And this is the very reason why I'm not gonna anter.  Too much of an obligation right now.

Noobs should be forewarned OWC isn't just about dropping off your entry then saying "thanks, have a great day!"  It's like a three week commitment and if you don't give back you're branded as a deadbeat.  And rightfully so.


Oh...you mean you're not a deadbeat? Then, yes, you need to read a lot.

I was looking forward to reading something of yours, but if you don't have time, then another time.

I will start to read every single script. However, if I find the script bad or difficult, I might not finish reading.

Exactly, Mistress Pia, you angry bear you.  Same for me, but, I will leave feedback on why I stopped wherever it was that I stopped.

Just came up with an idea finally.  It's kinda out there, but it just may work.  I just hope my beat up motel is beat up enough to qualify.  

I'm getting fired up!

And, to all the peeps reading this, I did not mean to scare anyone off.  Just saying that especially if you're new, reading all the entries and leaving comments goes a long way.  There are several awesome members who started this way.  For reals.

FADE IN:

JEFF (49), drunken amateur scriptwriter and mime expert, sits on an old pier jutting into the ocean. Next to him is ANGRY BEAR (?), a drunken Swedish pro scriptwriter.

SUPER - SOME SMALL COASTAL TOWN IN FLORIDA

                                       JEFF
                     I think we better head to that beat up motel.

                                        ANGRY BEAR
                     Why's that? Because of the massive hurricane coming our way?

                                        JEFF
                      No, because we're all out of Jagie and beer...
