Submitted mine!

They say you should never go with your first idea and never show anyone your first draft. In this tournament we won't' have time for anything else, there's less time than the normal OWC and more confined parameters.

I think we all need to give ourselves a break and realise this. What we may see in these scripts is potential, the beginning of great ideas.  

I just wish for week 1 I didn't choose a horror about rubber chickens set on the moon with a retired bull sperm collecter.

I was thinking about a horror with killer rubber chickens too. I was about to call it A Rooster In The Henhouse Of Hell. But I thought nobody cases about a rooster massarce, so I had to go with a different genre and story  

I submitted the opus moments ago. I went for something a little out of my normal box.

Written, re-written and re-re-written. Formatting is spot on with great dialogue and the perfect amount of white space.

Only issue is the story sucks. Hmmmm...problem?

Quoted from Nomad
Was this answered?

Do we put our name, a fake name, or no name on the script?

I know we put our name on the submission form for the OWCs, but I just want some clarification for the tournament.


Anonymous. You can submit a fake name or be provided one. Whichever you choose.

Admittedly, you didn't have to pick those variables together or all at once, Mark...

Tonight. Roughly 12 hours from now.

I totally took that topic to the next level!
It starts with exploration of all things evil, boils it down to evil money and then questions the mere fact of money being evil or else.
You'll have to use your best parts of the brain to get through mine and if you can't do it - guess what does it say about your brain
That's it.
Submitting.
Or not.

Or waiting till the last moment.

But it's there, done and waiting for it's moment.

This is by far the most brilliant FADE IN I've ever written. I just keep staring at it.
