I always wonder why peeps turn their script in so early, as opposed to waiting, rereading, editing, etc.

To each their own, but my advice is to w...a...i...t.


I'm leaving for vacation, so I will only be able to check in on the boards after this. Believe me, I'd wait if I could

...Hopefully, these peeps read and review OWC entries and don't just submit something, never to be seen nor heard from again...


Where do we read them, and when? I will have access to a computer most nights while I'm away, so I can probably get some done!

Hey JD, you read them right around here - there will be new threads opened up once the OWC is closed, which will be Friday night around midnite EST.  Don usually posts them in batches of 4 or 5 at a time.

If you're on vacation, enjoy it and don't worry too much about this, but it's always nice when peeps do their share, as each entry will get many reads and reviews, so the way I look at it is, what comes around should surely go around.

Hope to see you 'round!

I might try and bang the script out today but the idea's a little complicated to nail. Hopefully page count doesn't become a problem, or else I might have to write a script about denim short wearing Aussie warlocks.

Thanks! I'll keep checking and get at least a few in

Quoted from James McClung
So long as they're modern witches in modern Salem; Lords of Salem, in part, concerns ancient witches in modern Salem.

Bingo, thus d/q material.
Too bad. So sad. 'Twas entertaining, but failed criteria, Maverick.

"[Maverick] defeats Jester in combat, but violates two rules of engagement in the process and is strongly reprimanded by the chief instructor, Commander Mike "Viper" Metcalf "

Demin short wearing Aussie warlocks?  I *like* that idea!  (And someone else mentioned transgendered warlocks. Also pretty tantilizing.)

No one will be disqualified! This is a friendly challenge to get people a chance to feel what it might feel like to be given an assignment by a producer/director. This is a CHALLENGE! NOT a competition. However, if someone strays too far from the assignment, their script just won't get that many reads or votes.



Write on. I still have nothing and won't submit anything, but I will try to read a few.

Well... giving people too much rope isn't healthy for them.

Modern witches.
Horror
Not... classical witches teleported into modern times.
Or... a classical witch thawed from the Russian tundra.  
Or... a modern witch intervention about the violation of the three-fold law.

Modern witches.
Horror.

The challenge is to write THAT.

My take is that it must take place not only modern times, but "currently".  A witch can be 10,000 years old and still be set in 2013, no?  And if no, why not?

A good read for those not familiar would be Cleveland James' (jwent) horror feature...uh...damn...I for got the name...Wick -something.  A little help, bros and sisses?

Where the Hell is James lately, anyway?

So I checked out some of the older challenges and scripts to see how this works, and I'm pretty excited about seeing what everyone comes up with! Should be some fun reading
