Quoted from ABennettWriter The main website won't work for me. Can anyone post the submit link here? Thank you!

Good Luck Austin!  

Thanks!

But the link still won't work. I'm trying on my laptop and on my roommate's.

Really? It works on my computer. Did you click on the link or copy/paste it?

It now works. Thanks for the help!

So it kinda works. I'm able to fill in the first form, but the second step doesn't load.

What browser are you using AB?

If there's any extension on your browser these can sometimes interfere so try disabling them.

I'm on Safari. I didn't even think about trying other browsers. Script was submitted so no worries!

This is my first OWC in..... years. I can't remember the last one I actually entered.

Glad you got it sorted AB and good luck!

I just realized that I put the wrong user name on the submit form... Oh well.

I'm really struggling to come up with an original idea. Every time I think I have one, I realize it's really just a rewrite. Ugh.

I think some of them are going to be close anyway Marnie, I mean it'll be purely a personal opinion on how much has been changed, or not, and what will therefore constitute something that is 'inspired by' versus 'veiled re-write'.

Given the usual OWC hangups about criteria we'll probably see a fair few 'it's just a re-write', and we'll also probably get a few 'I can't see where in Episode 31 you got this idea from'

Had a few hours to kill, decided to throw a script together and submit it... can't wait to read everyone's stuff! Twilight Zone is probably my favorite show of all time, definitely a big influence on a lot of my material, especially "The Suicide Theory" (Amazon Prime if you're bored). There are a lot of episodes with very general premises; a woman receives strange phone calls in the middle of the night, man flees a hit and run, etc. You could probably throw together a script outside of this challenge and find a TZ premise in it without knowing it. And there are so many episodes to choose from. Very interested to see the episodes people chose.

Agreed, Michael, the series has touched on nearly everything over the (almost) 300 episodes... going back an looking at some of the synopsis of them has brought back fond memories.

Quoted from mmmarnie I'm really struggling to come up with an original idea. Every time I think I have one, I realize it's really just a rewrite. Ugh.

I think some people are going to view mine as a re-write, but I prefer to call it a re-imagination. If they do then so be it, I really didn't have the time to review the list of episodes and create a completely original idea loosely based on one. I can only remember a handful of episodes so I picked one I did remember and had a go.

I wish I had more time to give this challenge the justice it deserves. With so much material to draw from, I would have really enjoyed doing this properly.

It's weird, I watched loads of TW in my younger years, alongside Outer Limits, Tales from the Crypt and a creepy British one called Tales of the Unexpected. And yet. my mind is a blank trying to recall most of them!

Ah well, at least I've entered. Looking forward to reading these!
