So far, this has been brought to my attention four times, publicly and privately. I have been told (and, in two other cases, it's been insinuated) that the 48 hour period to write the scripts is too short and restrictive. Some have said that having the entire week to write/conjure up an idea would work better for them. I have no problem with this whatsoever. I can run this like five concurrent OWCs, if that's what everyone wants. Not a problem. Please put down your votes for whichever you prefer. A simple majority will win. Thank you.
I will be locking this at 11:59PM tomorrow night EDT. |

48 hours is HARD.
Let's do it. |

Although I'll be on the road and driving for a vast majority of the first weekend... and unlikely to produce anything of quality...
I still vote for 48 hours. It's hard, and that's the point for me. |

Could always check-in at midnight on Saturday and find out...
The reason for this poll was lack of availability on the part of certain writers. None specifically noted the challenge of 48 hours as the problem. Just the specific timeframe. |

You could add a day. This way if someone is busy on the weekend they can think about their story and write it Monday. |

48 hours is perfect, if it included a weekday I would be in. But I reserve my weekends to spending time with my son and hacking away at the various household DIY jobs I’ve started |

Yes, Sunday/Monday would be ideal. Many people have either a weekend, or weekdays, but not both. Interesting compromise. |

But then we have the non US countries that will push that into two week days with the time difference. It's going to be impossible to cover all bases. That being said, I’m not opposed to writing during the week, but other internationals might be. |

I like the 48 hour challenge, but there simply aren’t any two days that would work for me this first round. Entirely my fault for not checking with Sean before scheduling my son’s birthday |

That was very selfish of you, Frank. Then again, I didn't even check with myself before scheduling a round to begin on my birthday. Lol. |

Wow, I thought it would be all votes for a week challenge but what do you know. Voted for 48 myself.
However, this Saturday and Sunday are crazy busy for me. I don't know what I'm going to do. Good to know that you don't get killed if you end up not writing. |
