After the success met with 7 Deadly Sins, I'm thinking about a new excercise in the same conditions. The general theme would be: The Ten CommandmentsI'd like to have your opinion about it. Would it be a good idea? Michel |

If you want an honest opinion as long as it isn't yet another "dark" series of scripts it'd be a good idea.

I would actually be up for this. Only reason I wasn't able to participate in the Sins series was because of exams...
But yeah, either way I'll do a dark kind of story. Hope it goes ahead! |

My only problem is the choice of the commandments. They're rather out of date. The other problem is that the seventh and the tenth are quite similar.
Quoted Text SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery. TEN: You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife. |
This time, it would be about 10 pages. Michel |

Maybe a little too similar to the last one? Why not use the Seven Dwarves from Snow White as your theme?

I always thought it'd be interesting to do an exercise where everyone is given a list of things (like a plot, a couple characters, etc), and then they write the script, however each one takes a different genre.
That way you'd see how different each person's path would be, even though they're working from the same stuff. |

Well, no. The OWC picks a genre for you that you need to adhere to. I mean, the different takes on a similar theme is the same as the OWC, but I think it would be neat switching up the genres. |

Isn't there a lot going on right now though? We just did this one and then there's the SoulShadows series and the new Killer/Thief games and I think there will be another OWC in July... Just don't won't to cause burnout is all. |

It was just a suggestion. Nothing has being decided yet. |

Yes...projects will frequently take turns. Something like SoulShadows will step aside a bit and let something like "7 Sins" play out, for example. Why start another so soon? At the very least, give yourself longer than a week. Most of the "sins" scripts would have benefitted from a deadline that was not so arbitrarily rushed. |

I wasn't agree to give a deadline for the sins. But it was requested by some entrants. |
