What just happened?

I was just doing a reply to 'One From Seven' and hit post. Then it seems the thread went AWOL.

Where did it go?

The writer asked for it to be removed. Sorry about that, Darren.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Which bit of the below from the Intro thread (June 18th) was confusing Jeff? "Scripts are to be submitted by 11:59PM on July 6th and each of the four following Sundays, at the same time."

I "assumed" we'd have the week to write them...not just the weekend.

Quoted from Mr. Blonde The writer asked for it to be removed. Sorry about that, Darren.

Yeah, I hit my back button a few times to find the archive thread. I guess I didn't read most of the responses before I read and reviewed. I just picked a script at random.

If I read some of the comments beforehand, I probably wouldn't have wasted my time.

which is why I'm going a little easy when doing my reviews. Some of them, even at 5 pages, might have been written in a hurry given the holiday.

Totally agree

We should not be reviewing these as polished, perfect scripts

So far I think there have been some damn good efforts under the circumstances

So sorry, Darren. To prevent my "New Jersey" mouth from being unleashed again, I thought it best to remove the script in case anyone else views "fan fiction" as plagiarism.

Two lessons I've learned...
1...don't ever write another fan fiction piece on SS.
2...apparently not everyone is as geeked out by the movie Se7en as I am.  

I'm still in. Will finish reviewing today and tomorrow and look forward to next round.

Glad you're in, Marnie!

I didn't get to read the script before it disappeared, and I have NO idea what the issue is, so I'm talking out of ignorance here... but, I find that thought disappointing. I love the fact that the OWC and WT allow us as writers to push boundaries in every direction. I think fan fiction ought to be part of the experience here, if that's what you want to explore. But, again, I didn't see the script or the discussion.

Marnie's back in, but I'm out.

Best of luck to everyone, and sorry if I didn't get to your script.

Technically I was never out...I was just pissed. But WTF, Jeff? one of the biggest highlights of this was the Jeff/Stevie combo! Come on! Don't deny us that!

I highlighted that one part Marine, because I do recall that OWC about...two...years...ago I think were there was a 're-imagining' of 70s and 80s TV shows. I chose Thundarr The Barbarian  I don't mind a fan fic no profit short one off, so long as that is the intent. I do frown on feature length fan scripts.

I could be wrong, but one of the options wasn't fan fic, and if you must know, until I read the first page of the thread, it didn't really dawn on me. It wasn't even part of my reaction. I still have the summary on my clipboard (I cut and pasted it there in case the missing thread was an unrelated error on my end)  It was a mixed reaction, but I thought the writing was good overall,


tell ya what.
I'll PM you the review.

I second that. You can't go, Jeff. And then did you even think about Stevie?

Aa, I don't even know what a fanfic is.

I remember saying something iike "took this from that and another thing from that" to one author on MoviePoet.
And then I created a thread to ask if it's ok to do something like that. So, people were saying that Tarantino is doing that. And many actually. And it's like a thing to do.

So, I did what Warren did to you. And turned out I was wrong cos it can't be called 'stealing' either - cause that writer created something of his own, and yes, some of the things resembled some other stuff.
And later it turns out that he didn't take those things and it was all my imagination. I was so embarrassed. And it's a great writer too.
He was here on SS. I actually think he died. He said he needed a knee surgery and then just disappeared from every resource.

Anyway, things happen. I'm glad we're moving on.
