Ok, I wrote something and printed it out to read through.

My entry could use a flashback. Ugh, and usually, I don't even have a need for them.

Good that we, who is normal people and like to use their week in full, still have a day left!

Quoted from stevie If you can use the asterix system , Jeff, which Don used once before to show who has read a few entries thus eliminating anyone who has read ZERO from actually being voted the 'winner' (which happened last OWC and on a couple of other occaisons) then great

Stevie, Don agreed.  We will have some form of the asterisks system in place.

Quoted from SAC This one may have been covered already, but are we limited to the genres mentioned? Like, Western isn't there. Can I write a Western? Not that I'm going to, but just asking.

Yes, limited to the genres in the challenge parameters.

At first, I was going to use "open" for genre, but then started thinking about things like syfy, which wouldn't fit the rest of the parameters.

I really want to enter something, but I've had a busy week and still haven't given it any thought.

We still have approximately 38 hours to go, so you never know.

Best of luck to all the entrants. I won't be able to enter, however I will try to do some reads.

Surely it could? A Vanilla Sky-style piece where someone finds themselves in a deserted location (but filmed in a 'real world' location, e.g. a museum, park or something), only to discover it's a computerised dream world run by an experimental project in 2017 and therefore not real? Strange land, limited characters.

Not sure, Johnny - the first parameter was:

Quoted Text Location – Any actual place in the world

Filmed in a real world setting. Somewhere you could get for cheap - an office lobby on the weekend (where they work in life, just empty), for instance. If I'd had time to put something together, that's the route I was going down - a familiar location, but made strange.

Be interesting to see what others thought - for me it would still be questionable. An empty office would be just fine, IMO. An empty office turned into something it is not (e.g., a spaceship, an office on another planet, etc, etc.) would be dicey IMO.

Ha, thanks goodness I didn't actually write it then!

Agreed.

The idea was to keep things "simple", in using real life things/structures, etc.  I didn't want any flying cars or the like.

Done and submitted. Now I put the script away and forget all about it so I don't find more mistakes and resubmit. No resubmitting for me!
Good luck to all.

Same to you

I'm sorry Jeff, but it looks like I'm out. I wrote one, but it didn't want to be any longer than five pages. I tried to come up with more stuff, but it would've just felt like filler.
