Quoted from stevie 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

The halcyon days of the house, rainstorm, 2 guys, 1 girl, person in wheelchair OWC? =)

Quoted from Warren 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

Ditto to that, partner.

Warren's giving me first choice. How nice is that!  
Feeling a little inundated.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde The halcyon days of the house, rainstorm, 2 guys, 1 girl, person in wheelchair OWC? =)

Yes!!!   The 2010 Halloween one:  three peeps (one had to be a sausage wallet), one in a wheelchair, an abandoned house and a storm but no fire on Halloween eve.  The scripts were brilliant

Ummm.. my partner seems to know something about genres. I ddn't see any in my email. Am I missing them somewhere?

Ah, yes. I see them now. Thanks!

Okay, first choices made!

I think Stevie's got it right... The rest might get drawn from a hat.
This is not easy, Blondie. You've done good with the torture element for us.

I try. =)

I know I'm pretty dumb, and after numerous drinks and a few other things, I'm actually very confused.

based on the initial parameters, which were just posted, which I'm not going to repost, it appears to me that as long as both partners use 5 different "things" from each choice, they're golden.

Basically, I'm saying unless I am too schlammied, I don't see where it says, all 10 of each category must be used by each team.

Help me out here, SS'ers!!!

So do we have all the pieces of the puzzle for week one or are we still waiting on a topic?

Each team member will use 1 genre, object, location, character plus the theme per week. Once any variable has been used, it can't be used again. This will cause all 10 to be used.

Waiting on the topic. 2 and a half hours.

It is tough as only a couple of the variables will fit in a Western for example.  Then you have to write a script with them.  Pretty damn cool really lol

Blondie, does a Western have to be a period piece in the 1800’s? Or could be a modern type Western like theYellowstone series?  

Quoted from stevie Or could be a modern type Western like theYellowstone series?

Yes. The ideas of the genres are the themes of the genre. You know, the way every John Carpenter movie is a western. Lol.

Cheers Blondie. That gives more options. Though proper Westerns are so cool to write

Quoted from stevie Cheers Blondie. That gives more options. Though proper Westerns are so cool to write

Can if you want. One of my favorite genres is the western, but I don't like westerns. I just love their themes and modern westerns usually appeal.
