Quoted from DanC Can someone tell me what NSFW means?  I am a dinosaur when it comes to stuff like that. Dan

Not Safe For Work. This is stuff like porn, strong language, masturbation, disturbing violence, cannibalism, etc. Anything of an explicit or transgressive nature. Something that your boss could fire you for looking at on the job.

Think it's Not Suitable for Work.

Quoted from DanC Can someone tell me what NSFW means?  I am a dinosaur when it comes to stuff like that. I gotta admit that I don't recall Event Horizon.  I also can't believe that many walked out.  I would have thought that more would have walked out on movies like Return of the Living Dead because it was so over the top (I enjoyed it even though I was grossed out).   Other movies back then were Madman, Pieces, Green Room.  I know all of them garnered a lot of controversy.  Or those poor folks seeing Human Centipede. Dan

The trailer for the movie portrayed a sci-fi/action movie, but there were scenes of very grotesque violence and quick flashes of unimaginable torture scenes. Even to this day, you don't see stuff like this in main stream movies.

And when I said something about my dad walking out, that was for Scream, when Drew Berrymore was hung from the tree 15 minutes in.

Man, I am so far behind on this.  It will take a miracle to finish.  In case I don't get one submitted, I'll still read and review others.

I apologize in advance for my genre stretching here.

I hate when I read over what I've written so many times that I notice I left off a letter of a word. Not a letter that would cause the word to be misspelled, but something like "you" when I meant "your."

Oh well, I'll just have to go along with it for this submission.

I've now written 3 versions of my opening and don't like any of them... if I don't submit then I'll read and comment on everyone's anyway.

Ugh...signed, sealed and delivered. Fire away!

You had me fooled for a minute. The countdown clock sees to going up...

Anyway,y script tells its yarn well enough for seven to eight pages. I suppose in a rewrite, I can get to ten or eleven, but the bottom line is that in the current for, the deadline is missed.

I was tinkering with the idea of a Wendigo and a twist involving the "Wendigo Psychosis" where someone supposedly flips out, acts like a "wendigo" and has this alleged craving for human flesh....

Anyway, the first five pages almost feels like one of those survival-find the clues-mystery videogames

Darren, that sounds really cool.  Funny you should mention the Wendigo because the other story i was considering was about a man turning into a wendigo and the world's only hope (since nothing manmade can harm a wendigo, so no guns or bombs) was another supernatural creature, a werewolf.

Hey can I make a suggestion for the next event?  If it's possible, can scripts be loaded when they come in?  The reasoning would be simple.  20 or more scripts loaded at one time puts a lot of pressure on all of the readers to get through them quickly and potentially not spend the time each story deserves.  I know I feel very rushed to get through them ASAP.

But, if they were loaded when they came in, then those who were done writing would be able to get a head start and leave better, more in depth critiques on them.

What do you guys think?

Dan, are you referring to this type of 2WC only?
That's up to Don.

What I do know re the OWC is that it would defeat the purpose of being able to submit/change your draft right up until final deadline.

I don't want to create a thread in the other forum since this relates to my second draft. Does this work? Each action related to the dialogue below it.
