I've got the concept... and it's a good one. Now it all comes down to my execution. Hopefully I can write it Monday, or maybe later tonight.

Could always come up with an "origin" story. You could make the most frightening legend a drama, a comedy...

Excellent OWC! All the best to all who enter and contribute with reads.


  

Urban Legends... personal favorite genre of mine.  

I already have a concept in mind.  Something fresh.  Based on something "real".  Should be good.  I'm going for something not many folks have heard of before.  It's somewhat of an "obscure" Urban Legend.

Quoted from khamanna I wasn't around the other Urban Legend one...

It was only a couple of years ago....

I remember that I was disappointed I missed it, but I think that was during my hiatus. That would've been my kind of OWC, too. Now, to atone for that mistake.

Got my concept.

IN.

Four participants have made their picks so far. I've got faith that this is going to be a really fun contest. =)

Nice topic. Looking forward to see what people come up with.

Quoted from ChrisBodily I'm interested, but my last completed script is of a similar nature, so I'd do something a little different. You say, "no real names." What if your username is your real name? And what's "no pissers?" You mean no pisstakes, spoofs, satire, or whatever? Would Bigfoot in Love be okay?

When you submit, use your real name.  However, do not put your name on your script that you submit.  This is an anonymous challenge.  Once the challenge is over, you can resubmit your script with your name on it.

Quoted from DustinBowcot Looks like I'm going to have to Google 'Urban legends'. We don't really deal with scary stories where I'm from. The ones I have read are just silly.

Some urban legends aren't scary.  Some are silly or stupid or just boring like coke disolving teeth, gum taking seven years to pass through your digestive system or the single bullet theory...

I'll see what I can do. Besides I have leg up already. Lol. Can't wait to read these.

Are we going to pillory or burn at the stake all who mistake urban myth for urban legend?
Or will close enuf B good enuf?

We handing out "Participation" merit ribbons?


And how unheard of or obscure can these urban legends be?
Any litmus test?

Just remember, the Department of Urban Myth Banishment (D.U.M.B) is watching you...

Quoted from Don or the single bullet theory...

Don, Oliver Stone is an insane person. When he speaks or touches something, assume it's all a lie, especially when we have those inconvenient things known as "fact"... Lol. =)

Quoted from Mr.Ripley I'll see what I can do. Besides I have leg up already. Lol. Can't wait to read these.

Nice try, Gabe. You're not allowed to re-enter your Clown Statue script... If you want in, pick a new one. Lol. =)

No. Yes. No. Very (so long as they already existed). No. Respectively. =)

I'm really excited, guys. We're currently at nine participants and counting. I think this is going to be really fun. =)

Oh no, Mr. Blonde. I wasn't mentioning that. Lmao. I just meant I've already handled one so how bad can it be. Lol. I already have a legend selected...different from the clown statue one. Another short under my belt. If I could just do the se with features.
