Let me know if you're interested.   ;)

Ooh, there's an idea.

I'm up for it!  8)

C'mon guys and girls, where's the enthusiasm!
You never know, this one could put you on the map.
...Or at least break your Writer's block.  

Yesss. I need something like this!

Quoted from Zack Yesss. I need something like this!

Good!! Now we just need some more takers.

C'mon, people! Where you at!?

Paint me intrigued.

I can't say yes to something I don't know because the last time I did that, I woke up in a ditch and my friend Daniel was missing.

But consider me on board.

Sean

Here and interested!

Though I should point out that a quickie means something else in the UK (maybe elsewhere too) ;-)

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Though I should point out that a quickie means something else in the UK (maybe elsewhere too) ;-)

I'm pretty sure I worded the thread that way precisely for that reason.  ;D

Still rather low interest in this.  :-/

Interest perked.

At this point in life, a super quickie is better than nothing.

Pia, can you send an email out to subscribers or is Don still otherwise engaged?

Hmm, maybe Pia knows more about this than me?
There is a PM 'send all' but members would need to sign into their account to see it.
Good idea though, Ant. We should run it by Don if he's free.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Pia, can you send an email out to subscribers or is Don still otherwise engaged?

I think only Don can do that. He usually mentions the OWCs on FB though. We could just wait until July too. That way we would be back on the old regular schedule of Jan, Apr, Jul, and Oct. It's only like a week away anyway.  :)

Or, if we can drum up definite numbers for this, say ten, we could still do it!
Up to you guys and girls to express your enthusiasm.

This is what I think, anyway.
Without the numbers and involvement it's not as much fun imho.

Making us wait, Pia? Promise us a quickie and you end up giving us blue balls. Tease.

:p

Sean

I'm interested.  Just make sure it spans a weekend because I can only write on Friday and Saturday.

Hi,

What is a super quickie?

Thanks

Michael

Quoted from MichaelYu Hi, What is a super quickie? Thanks Michael

My assumption is that it's like a One Week Challenge.  We're given a topic and we have one week to write a short script based on the topic.

Steven8

Thanks.

Michael

A 'quickie challenge' like the title suggests would be a fast challenge.
You would likely get anywhere from 24hrs to a few days, but not a week.

P.S. Pia called this a 'super quickie'.  :D

That is quick.  As I said, I'm interested.  Just needs to include Friday and Saturday.

Thank you!

Pia's the boss of this one.
It depends on numbers I think, otherwise we're headed straight for the July OWC. :)

Sounds fair to me.

Couldn't agree more.  :(

;D

Ok. Looks like there's some interest. Let me see what The Don has to say. I know he's had a lot on his plate lately. :)

Let's get weird with this one. ;D

I'm interested!

Could be interested but wont be able to write this weekend because I'm out of town... so it would really be dependent on that.

Maybe a 3 or 4 day writing window for a 1 to 3 page script? That will cover the people that can and can't write over the weekend.

Update. Don is the one that handles the technical stuff of the OWCs. He asked that we wait until July, because he's got other things to handle at the moment. BUT, keep an eye out, when I get the go ahead, it will happen fast. Fast, short and sweet, just the way I like it.  ;)

At least you're all primed and excited and ready to go.   :D
You can all spread the word too!

Hi Folks,

Apologies.  It's been a long few weeks.  I'll reassess on Monday next week.

best,

Don

We haven't had a one pager in a while. Quick to write and quick to read.  Would probably be on board for one of those.

Hope all okay Don!

Quoted from Grandma Bear Fast, short and sweet, just the way I like it.  ;)

Yeah, we all kinda knew that.

We'll see how things turnout. Maybe Don would prefer a regular OWC if it happens later in July. I just had this specific idea I wanted to try, but it can be done at any time. :)

Just got back from being unplugged (fly fishing!). I'm up for a quickie (24-hr) but stressed if it's a full-blown OWC. Count me in.

I'd be up for a super quickie in July, and I'd also be up for a script challenge!

Quoted from MarkRenshaw I'd be up for a super quickie in July, and I'd also be up for a script challenge!

What do you mean by script challenge? A feature or regular OWC?

Quoted from Grandma Bear What do you mean by script challenge? A feature or regular OWC?

If I'm not mistaken, it's a double entendre.   ;)  Until July then!

Quoted from Don I'll reassess on Monday next week.

It's Monday!  ;D

Quoted from Zack It's Monday!  ;D

Zack,

I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.  

I can't make an announcement, today.

Don

Take it easy Don. We've got things covered. Also, this weekend is 4th of July, so probably not the ideal weekend to drop a challenge, no matter how quick.

Still any interest in this?

I think Don's still busy. I could be wrong, but I don't think he's been here in about a week. Hope his mother is doing better.

Ah. Yes. Family first. Hope everything is well, Don!

Zack, I have no idea why but your new avatar is giving me Howling vibes!

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Zack, I have no idea why but your new avatar is giving me Howling vibes!

Makes sense. Sometimes I feel like howling as well.  ;D

Anyone still interested in this?

Heya Zack!

I'm sure quite a few of us are.
Just still waiting for Don to give the word!

I'm down for a 1 pager similar to a certain Poet of the Movie type.

Quoted from Zack Anyone still interested in this?

Let's do this!  Who is in charge of this one?

- Don

Who is going to come up with the theme?
When do we announce?
How long do we give to write?

- Don

I'll take point, if no one else wants to. :)

Quoted from Zack I'll take point, if no one else wants to. :)

Sounds good to me.
Maybe liaise with Pia. I know she had an idea brewing at one point, which I think is another reason she started this thread.

Yeah, I was going to do one, but that was back in June and that was not a good time for Don. Now it's not a good time for me. I'm working on three new features and a rewrite of Relentless. Hopefully two of those will be ready for the Screencraft horror comp. I haven't entered a comp in over five years.  :)
