Quoted from mcornetto
A pisser is an entry that is there to make fun of the challenge rather than take it seriously.
Really, Michael? That's the definition of a "pisstake" or "pisser"? Or is that your new definition, used in reference to my most recent pisser, posted and pulled in this OWC?
You know that is not the truth, and if you, Don, or anyone else thinks that the reason I submitted a pisser was to make fun of the challenge, you are thoroughly mistaken.
It's funny to me how certain things are alright from certain individuals, but not alright from others. Amazing...

I always thought that a pisstake was (atleast on SS) a script that was not seriously written. I don't think there's an official definition yet... Phil

What I said was not about you, it was an answer to Darren's question. If you have a different answer, then fine - state it. But honestly, my response to Darren was nothing to get defensive about.

Obviously a pisser is not intended to be taken completely seriously, but in no way do I see it as a slap in the face of a legitimate challenge like our OWC's. Most of the Sci/Fy movies are complete pissers. many "so bad they're good" horror movies have to be pissers. Pissers are supposed to be funny...funny in their poor execution, implausible action and dialogue, and situations. Like any comedy, it all comes down to what each individual considers to be funny. The funniest things I am aware of are piss poor movies, as most true comedies aren't all that funny, as far as I'm concerned.

I thought that was the definition as well.
Anyway, I've been dragging in the reading the last day or so but I'll back to it and get all of them done. I think I've read about 20 so far.

Be excellent to each other

The challenge had no genre, so technically, a pisstake might be construed as a valid entry

I've called for that before...
I think an entire batch of pissers would be hilarious good fun. There are actually a few from this OWC that could enter...
Sorry, couldn't resist...

I doubt anyone would want to read those Jeff. Kevin, are you referring to "For Customers Only"? I thought it was decent.

Oh, it was decent, I was making a bad joke about the premise. I had the story in my final 10 list posted earlier in this thread.

I doubt that too many people would want to read a bunch of pisstakes. It would be a waste of time on the readers' part. In the last OWC (the one with the wheelchair), I got upset after reading two or three pages of one such script. Phil

Personally, I don't like reading a bunch of horrendously written scripts, either, but I slog through them, as best I can. If you don't like what you're reading, it's pretty fucking simple to stop, and let the writer know why you're not going to continue.

I did that with the wheelchair OWC. The writer got real pissed, IIRC.

I can't believe that there are eighteen visitors on this site, right now. I wonder how many are directors, looking for scripts. Phil
