Quoted from dogglebe I think we can rule out anime as a genre for the one week chalenge.

I didn't figure that one to be so much as a passing thought. I remember that rather heated discussion vividly.

But Anime is a legitimate genre! I think it deserves a spot somewhere in a future OWC.

I'm not quite sure how anime is legitimate genre... Que Kevan with some extremely helpful information on anime...

Quoted from ReaperCreeper But Anime is a legitimate genre! I think it deserves a spot somewhere in a future OWC.

Nope, not really. I don't watch anime, I don't like anime, I don't read anime, I don't write anime, I don't get the appeal of anime, and if anime was a genre in the OWC, I definitely wouldn't participate. But that's just my vote.

I wouldn't mind it if it came by one time. I've never really watched any anime before but it'd be a fun experience trying to write it. Though I'm not sure if it can be truly a genre. I don't think you could just say Anime/Milk and I'd get right on it. Firstly I'd say "Dude, we've already done milk." And Anime, how the heck do you write it?!

I have no idea if I'm in favour or against Anime in a future OWC now.  

A little research goes a long way which is how some of us look so knowledgeable about a great many things. Here's an article on Anime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime

See, there are a load of genres for Anime. You couldn't possibly use Anime as a genre without saying another, or else every story would be completely different in a bad way. I guess I can say Anime can be ruled out. Thanks for the link, George, I should really do a lot more research on things.

Anime is a legitimate genre, it just seems to have a smaller fan base than a lot of other genres, at least it does on this site. I don't get into anime myself, I don't really enjoy it in general, but it should be considered a genre in itself because it just is. Horror movies are in the genre called "Horror" because they are about scary things -- well, they are in theory. Anime movies are anime, so they should be in that genre. Wow, that was a repetative sentence.

But where the hell did this anime debate come from? No one is saying that the genre of the OWC has even the remotest thing to do with anime.

Enough with the anime!!  It's not anime!!

Quick reminder of the rules:

You have one week to write a short script based on the genre and theme at the end of this post.  Read the rules.  Do not go straight to--aww crap, half if you just scrolled straight to the bottom.

Mention in the comment box on the submission page that your script is part of the one week challenge.

No more than four submissions per person per one week challenge (I call this the Helio rule).

No voting on best script.  Just read them and comment on their own individual merits.

Don will originally post your work without your name attached to it.  After a week or two, your name will appear.

The genre and theme are:  erotica and girls' reform school!

Now that Pia has put her fist through her monitor, here is the real genre and theme:

genre:  sci-fi
theme:  pop corn


Good luck!

Sci-fi and popcorn. Interesting.


Cheers, Chismeister.

And weirder than horror and milk?

Get writing!

Quoted from dogglebe Imagine if a director or producer gave you one week to come up with a short based on his idea?

What kind of producer would be corny enough asking for a such idea?

Quoted from michel What kind of producer would be corny enough asking for a such idea?

The one who can't decide whether he wants to hire you or not.

Darn you Phil, popcorn and sci-fi? I've never seen popcorn in a sci-fi film before... aww man, this one is gonna be tough.

Quoted from Parker aww man, this one is gonna be tough.

i think phil had that in mind
