And then ppl reading it…

Somehow Don is going to clear up my work schedule so I can get something in?

I am hoping to be able to participate this time if the constraints don’t break my brain.

I have a feature in this genre.

May I adopt my own feature into a short for an OWC by the way?

Probably not... But I'd be very interested in reading your feature! Is it here on SS?

It’s not your type of horrific lol. And thdd we horror part is not really a horror and just in one part. It’s more of a comedy adventure. Santa’s workers (in my story it’s ppl working at a factory) are trying to kill the main character the whole movie tho.

But I never finished it and have to rewrite.

Haha! true that.

I'm sure I'll be kept in check cos vomit is hard to clean from keyboards/paper. ;D ;D ;D

I didn’t ask what you know. I actually find this question nosy and sort of too forward.
The question was if you know. Im withdrawing it also since I don’t gain anything from knowing if you know.

And I sort of know that you know)

I really need to throw my hat in for this but I've just finished two weeks of research for a new feature and feel like I've built some momentum that I don't want to break.

If an idea really takes hold I'll try get something in :)

Usually something happens when the timer gets to zero.

Did someone forget to press the button?

I feel like Wile E. Coyote is about to show up.

Maybe the theme is silence and we need to write a script about invisible things that are late.

Tres avant-garde.

I tried that, but it didn't go over well.  But that does give me an idea for a future OWC...
