Wow! Just seeing three pages of posts and three PMs from my partner in crime. Where's the updated competitors list and what should I know, apart from the obvious?
Lol Liibby - I just saw pms at first and hang in shock for a while

On the first post in this thread, along with the genre list. The only things to know are that you and your teammate will use one of each genre, object, location, character and the topic each week. No duplicates. You have four days from the time the topic is revealed to complete and submit your script. The logline will simply consist of the variable relating to your script and the topic of the week.
Any other questions, feel free to ask. I'm here all night.
The buddy system works as such: writers will be randomly paired together and given the following: a list of 10 (ten) genres, objects, locations and characters, each. Each of those lists are unique to the team (with the exception of genre -- each team will get the same list of 10 genres) and each team member is expected to use one genre, object, location and character per week. These items can only be used once. If these elements are used more than once (as a primary), the script will be disqualified for that round.
What constitutes "use"? Specifically for location? Does it need to take place wholly at that location? Or is partially enough? AJR

Partially is fine, but it should play a factor in the story.
The list makes for an interesting problem... pick the harder choices but ensure you have a solid way to use them or pick the easier ones and be absolutely screwed at the end... hmm.
Either way, I think you've designed a pretty good challenge for us, Sean
I just entered all the 4 groups into a random name picker and the ones that came out actually fitted together well. I think be easier doing it this way as you are focused on those variables straight up and not overthinking it Works for me lol like the old OWC’s that had really detailed and cool criteria
