It was a dark and stormy night, and all the curious SS members gathered here, in this place - this darkened corner of the Simplyscripts message board - to discuss what is known as...
The October One Week Challenge...
Genre and theme announcement this Friday, October 4
I know, don't worry, Steve, I didn't think you were repeating an OWC. I get that it's an archetype intro to set the mood. I was just trying to prove to myself I wasn't going nutty in connection with past OWCs. I've always been a little OCD.
Hey, good to see you at the helm of this one! Looking forward to seeing what you got.
Not to worry, Kham. I’ll be spilling clues like deer droppings in the woods.
Halloween. Night. Must include deer droppings.
I've got ideas already.

It can go one of two ways. Either you announce that the genre is horror and the challenge is to write a slasher in the woods. Or you announce a different genre and challenge. Either way, I'll figure out a way to have people being stalked and killed in the woods.
Just kidding. Whatever you choose to do, I'm sure it's gonna be awesome.

Sadly, can't make it - grand kids arrive on the 4th.
Is Warren paying you to sit these things out?

Well, things have changed around here ... best of luck Steven.
Just ignore the Liverpool supporter - he’s riding a wave of feel good doesn’t know what he’s saying!
Otherwise, it’s good to see the Halloween OWC
I hope by brain switches back on to writing, as this was always fun...of sorts. I have a fond memory of a gothic horror OWC

I picture this epic battle where the whole world stops when the two super heroes twist their way up to the clouds locked in a fierce fight to the finish. Only with words.
Maybe next time.

'Twas The night Before Samhain, when all through the haunted house all kinds of creepy creatures were stirring not just a stupid mouse. goblets of blood displayed with care in hopes that a goblin or ghost would soon be there. Children out treatin' and dressed like the dead visions of candy goods dancing in their heads...

Ha. I'm slow. I saw the lines and thought is was a clue that the challenge will include a secret path of some sort...
Didn't realize it's pointing to his avatar.
Doh.

Ooh, nice little spooky-vibed OWC invite Don mailed out. Open to all comers too which'll mean probably a gazillion reads.
And Zack, it most definitely is Friday in Oz already. Looks like the usual Saturday announcement for us. I don't have a good track record for horror. That's not horror! I wish it was a RomCom.

Don't be modest, Libby. You already know you're gonna kill it.
I can't wait any longer. I'm gonna fuckin' pop. Steven, another hint! I needs it.
Just found this and looks like I saw it at a good time.
I look very forward to the hate I will receive in advance, and hope you all enjoy my feedback.
Hey bud I always look forward to your feedback especially when you shit on Clark's script But the son of a gun is running the show this time so he gets off nicely...
If you could get to page 2 on mine that would be great
I thought you tried to depict a snake. A Halloween snake.
Ah, well that's your obsession with horror and snakes, Kham, as in your last horror feature, and also Pareidolia which Rick mentioned as a clue in the fog themed podcast - apophenia, which is a more generalized term for seeing patterns in random data.
Oh, I probably will have to skip this one. My daughter had to spend two weeks at a hospital which was two hours away from me. I had to travel there and am very tired. Additionally, I just got a new job and am tired in advance. Besides my daughter needs me for her recovery.
I realize I could have just said the timing is not good for me. Or not say anything at all.
Actually, yes - it�s not the best time for me. So, there, I�m not even gonna share why I�m not writing for this one.
I may read a few though. Or even more. Good luck to all! And let�s hope Steven doesn�t suddenly bail out before posting tomorrow just to see our long faces. Your long faces I mean, I can�t write for this one.

Weird. The latter was using: Jeff. There's a ghost in the machine. Whoo!
Think it has something to do with usernames and display names? - for example, if you quote Zack, what is actually written is Zack_M._Akers - but it displays as simply Zack.
Either that or we have uncovered Jeff's alter ego...
Back to topic.
I haven't really followed the clues that well, but we have The Scream by Edvard Munch, deer droppings in woods, and hands covering ears....
So, theme is - In the woods, no one can hear you scream when you step in deer poop
Yep, I get the Matt, but you still should be able to quote a person called Jeff, surely. Jeffrey works cause obviously it's not linked with another moniker.
Your "code" name on the boards is the one you got when you first signed up. You can change your user name as many times as you want, but the original "code" name remains the same. Mine is Me for example. I've had several user names since then.
Warren it just said the October OWC is coming this Friday. It's not like Carson where there are long newsletters that come regularly. Maybe once or twice every year to alert you to something. Don't panic, you haven't missed anything.
The announcement timer popped up while I was reading these comments, so now we know when.
Steve, using your avatar as clues sucks. I only see the latest one for all of the previous hints, and let me just say, I looked really hard for that umbrella in the party clean-up picture.

I dunno. I kinda like the whole “lost in translation” thing.
