It is reading more like a 'first ten' to me. Ugh. On page 6 now though.

Ah, I know how that goes, Dena.

It's a two week challenge this one, so just get that first draft out and you'll have time and feedback to change things in the second.

Looking forward to reading btw.

Thanks Libby....typed FADE OUT... now to go read it .... dreading that haha ...first read through is always a chore!!! Looking forward to reading yours. I like what you did in that last OWC.

Gonna be honest I am working through this one and it will be a first draft.

SORRY A MILLION TIMES!

This week was crazy!

Dena, this time time around I'm just reading and hopefully providing some helpful feedback.

I always like the anon challenges but I think Zack's doing a good alt two weeker with names attached. It will be interesting to see the changes that will occur in the first and second drafts, and less brutal feedback... I imagine, anyway.

Ashlie, ditto. Rough first draft is what a few will be I reckon.

Damn!  I just saw this!

I have 49 minutes.

I can do this!

Yeah, I am def happy about the second-week draft. Mines won't get read past the first page I think.

I'm so bad at horror.  

OH LORDY... this is total SHEET people and I'm apologizing right now. I'm about to turn it in. I want to do this as a feature so I found myself spending too much time on set up. Ugh. Oh well..it is what it is.

Two weeks... you mean we get to rewrite this thing??

Dead brain tired right now...pounding 10 pages out tonight without an outline was omg torture for me. Out of writing shape right now!

Anyway .... it's done.

Looks like I' going to miss the deadline. Simply put, my script comes in at eight pages and that's by stretching it. It was a busy week for me, but I cranked it out...and Im' only seven and a half.

Anyway, my piece was this fella involved in a car accident during a blizzard. He is then hunted down by a Wendigo, who had killed and eaten his friends, trapping them in a set of old cabins miles away fro a ski lodge. He could share the same fate.

I'll most likely sub it in the horror shorts in a few weeks.
Best of luck to all.

Best luck to all who entered.  Do we have a total yet?  I hope to spend time with each script.

If there is one piece of generic advice is to make sure that the story makes sense after the last word.  In other words, especially in horror, the setup at the beginning has to make sense at the end.  I read a horror on here and the end completely contradicted the beginning.  It was a slasher about a teacher who felt that girls were nothing more than sperm deposits for his high school athletes.

And I've seen plenty of movies made that have the same fatal flaw.

Again, good luck.  May each of our stories bring us a lot of success and money.

I bailed.  Got two nice ideas for stories. Just ran out of time.

Damn it, I really wanted to submit this time. Congrats to everyone who made it.

Just curious when comedy/horror became one of the selected sub-genres?

The genre was monster or cannibal. No one said "no comedy allowed."

Quoted from Steven The genre was monster or cannibal. No one said "no comedy allowed."

Well, a comedy/horror is a completely different kettle of fish to a straight horror. Comedy/horror was one of the sub genres that Zack had as an option but it wasn't pulled out of the hat, was it?
