I personally do not like the idea of a short time frame like 1 month.  Why push it, and have the script suffer because of it?

I like the way Dec is going about this, and I'd like to hear more from him.

Sorry George, but I just don't like this idea.

To be fair, Dream, I think you made that POV pretty clear last time around!

dec's idea is great and the OMC could be great as well. From reading last time - it felt like the idea got binned 'cos you were so against it, but if enough people want to participate, then I don't see the problem?

It's the challenge with it as much as anything. Again, between November and March-ish, I wouldn't be able to participate, but would happily do so outside of those times.

I said this before when we were talking about the OMC, and I still believe it:

The OMC can only be seen as a positive exercise.  It gets you thinking and working hard, and in the end you either have:

1) a fully completed script that's really great

2) a fully completed script that's OK to horrible (but who cares, because you can go back and polish it now!)

or

3) part of a script that you still put a lot of effort into that you can now make complete

Either way, you leave with something valuable.  But if your goal is to "win", then your priorities are messed up

Hopefully they'll teach you how to structure a sentence.

What the hell does that even mean, Zack?

I don't like the idea of a OMC for the sake that it implies people need an organized, community "event" to write a feature length script. It's ironic because it seems like the people discussing it are the people who have enough drive to write features themselves anyway. So why not just do it? Why a contest or an exercise just to accomplish something everyone can do (or should be able to do) on their own time?

I stumbled across another community where they wrote a feature, voted on certain points in the story, voted on keeping characters, and pretty much voted on every aspect in the feature.  It sounded like a rewrite nightmare and not one that I could be bother participating in.  

But maybe others here would love that idea?

Just throwing an idea into the mix.

Quoted from Andrew
decadence,

That sounds like a great idea to me. The categories were also particularly interesting. Well, rather than stealing the thunder of a new thread, here are my scripts that sit on SS, and I quite like the idea of being a guinea pig Some say I have a weird little face anyway

Reciprocation

My little writing fingers are gaining dust, so whatever you think is appropriate, dec.

Probably easier to start a new thread to be honest. That way all discussion and such can be kept in one place.

Definitely. Just thought I'd leave the opening honours to yourself, as I've already started a lengthy thread and don't want to take liberties

If a redhead tells a zinger, is it a ginger?

A ginger is what happens if you get too drunk and unlucky in a night club.

Sniper...I think it means Collage can't come fast enough. Which may also happen with the ginger if they're any good.
