Although I didn't go hog wild without regard to budget, it does afford some creative breathing room to give such little regard.

I probably should have gone creatively ape sh!t crazy with the story in regards to any production's budget.  

For those that want to make sure they submit on time, here's a useful link:

For the UK people, even though it's 8.18pm to us, to the american's it's 7.18pm.  That extra hour can make all the difference.

I'm done..but...I'm over 10 pages.  ARGH!!!

Even though I've cut this thing down numerous times, I still have to cut at least 4 lines, and I honestly don't know if I can.  Actually, I'd like to add about 6 lines to the finale.

Damn...now comes the fun part.

Good thing my work day is done - I may have to start pounding for inspiration.

I'm sure you know Jeff, but just in case: anything that ends on page 10 is less than 10 pages. I've seen people here make that mistake before.

So as long as you don't hit page 11...you're good!

Yeah, but I hit Page 11 - about 4 lines over.  I went back and cut 7 lines, but I was still on Page 11 - WTF???  So, now I'm cutting more but it's taking away important info.

I'm bummed.  The chopping continues.

But then again, maybe I've already submitted mine and this is all a ruse?  

One way or another, I will be in.

Are you done, Kev?

Pia, where are you?

I have a few more pages. I'll get there, though.

I did a different one earlier in the week, written as a short but a concept I wanted to test as a TV pilot. I decided not to use that one though.

Good job!  I think we'll have a great turnout.

I'm hoping most of the SS regulars will be entering.

I actualy just trimmed mine down to 9 pages now!  Wasn't easy but removing a scene actually seems to make this work better now.  I may expand a bit to get onto the 10th page, but either way, I'm going to make it without panicking in the last few hours.

I have just butchered a half decent 12 page script into a 10 pager...sigh.

Anyway, one last tweak and it's in....haven't said that in a while

Well, I'm in. Had to go through a cruel and painful rejection (it barely hit the 13 page mark), followed by lots of cutting and then cramming together of sentences that don't belong together.

Good luck everyone!

It's 7 am Saturday here. I think the deadline is 1 or 2 pm for me. Computer is on and ready to finish. I can save 2 pages by moving events forward by five minutes of screen time lol


I'm not one to throw gore around but may have to insert some to placate the plebs by the look.

Oh, and a pisstake is not necessarily horrible!!!  It's a deliberate attempt at making the OWC theme funny and satirical. So there!  Lol

Good luck all!

Another edit and another page removed.  I'm down to 8 1/2 pages now and I think that's where it's going to stand.

My back is still out but feeling much better than yesterday.

Stevie, insert both gore and nudity.  Why the Hell not?  If you're runing under the max, add a scene of gratuitous nudity and sex.

I've just finished mine!

It's absolutely crazy too, something I feel represents my quirky side.

Right, need to rest for an hour or so before correcting then inevitable errors that I always miss!

Any guesses as to how many entries there will be?

My guess is 31, but that includes Pia..if she's out, I'll go with an even 30 entries.

i'll go 25
