This doesn't bother me in the slightest, but have you taken the different time zones into account. In the UK the theme and genre won't be announced until 2am, so unless people are keen enough to stay up that late, some might see it as a disadvantage.

Again, doesn't bother me, just a thought. What I wanted to know was how do we submit to you?

I've tried as best to take that into account. The opening time could be made as early as 7PM EST (12AM GMT) but that might still cause problems. There's almost no universal way to appease everyone so I have to try and do the best I can.

As for your second part, if you click on my name to the left of this message, there will be an option on the middle-right of the screen that says, "Send a Private Message".

However, I will post the process in simpler detail and more available on the actual thread when I open it tonight. =)

EDIT: I'm very flexible. No one will be at a disadvantage because, if they really want to do one specific topic over another, they'll be accomodated. I just don't want everyone rushing to pick one when there are many choices out there.

You'll have a week to write a short script. Does five hours plus or minus really matter? If so, what about those in Oz?

Thanks Mr. Blonde.

I was talking about picking the different themes ect, not the time to write it.
It's a bit of fun and gets people writing, so that's really all that matters.

Script need to be submitted to http://www.simplyscripts.com/owc

I like the idea of having options, but I'm not so crazy about having to "reserve" them in order to start writing. Truth is, I wouldn't want to limit myself until I actually have a story in my head. So we're talking like... Tuesday or Wednesday I'd actually know what topic I want. I'm also not sure how first come first serve works when there's no upper limit to the entries.

IMO, Options = Good. Arbitrary limitations on # of entries per topic = Bad.

I'd be interested to see it play out though. There's always the option to ignore what is inconvenient to you.

I'm telling you, you guys are worrying over nothing. I'll be honest, I'm more worried about how you feel about the contest in general than whether or not certain options are going to be available to you.

Note to self: next time, just do the simple time travel one again... Lol.

I think it sounds intriguing. I pick whatever's behind door #3.

I'm game for anything you throw our way.

Deviations from the established path have my full support.
That and a buck thirty-five will get you a coke outta the machine.

Kyle,

I'd be happy to entertain changing the time of announcement and due date on future OWCs to accommodate the Limes, the Ozes and Kiwis.

Give me some suggestions.

I vote for five page max...it was so hard to get through all those 12 page scripts last time...just lengthy IMO.

Makes no diff to us Aussie legends Don. It's usually about 2 pm Sat arve here when you announce it.  We still have exactly the same time to write and submit so no problemo from this little black duck.

On another note, I always bring up this suggestion for an OWC:  we have a theme and people,get randomly allocated a genre for that theme. Just an idea for the future.

PS - Blondie, how about a parameter of a minimum of one char has to be wearing denim cutoffs?

You know you want too...

Oh, god, I do... But, it would just clash with the concept. Next time, for sure...

Five or even ten hours won't make much difference...most of these are written over a couple of hours. Well, most of mine are Maybe that's why I never win argh LOL

Quoted from stevie how about a parameter of a minimum of one char has to be wearing denim cutoffs? You know you want too...

I say all characters must be either wearing short, old denim cutoffs or completely nude.

C'mon...you know you want to!!!
