I love this bit:

Write a coherent story where your main character has a fever dream.  



That said, a nice challenge, Yuvraj.
Horror fans should be over the moon.

Quoted from LC Write a coherent story...

That leaves me out.  Maybe the next challenge.

Quoted from steven8 That leaves me out.  Maybe the next challenge.

You can always try.

Damn, this hits all my spots -  dream scenes, psychodrama, ambiguous morality. I'll see how busy work is this week

Quoted from AlsoBen Damn, this hits all my spots -  dream scenes, psychodrama, ambiguous morality. I'll see how busy work is this week

Go for it!

Nice!

Countdown please!

This one seems fun! Let's see what I can come up with...

...tosses out all incoherent ideas...looks at what remains...

Quoted from PKCardinal ...tosses out all incoherent ideas...looks at what remains...

By just adding one word... made this more challenging.

Ahoy - Yuvraj, so you're running this circus -- well some one has to be the ringleader - everyone else are clowns.

Thankfully I'm still over the moon - and we've got a good idea(methinks) and I'm almost done writing it. _ghostie gal

Damn. Slow down, Andrea! Give the rest of us clowns a chance!

Quoted from Yuvraj By just adding one word... made this more challenging.

Every script is coherent to the person who wrote it...

Wow!  I take a one week vacation and look what happens!  Another challenge appears!  I still have beach brain so don’t know if “coherent” is in my wheelhouse right now, but according to the clock, I have 6 days, 2 hours and 9 minutes to pull a rabbit out of the hat.  Not sure I’ll have anything, but there’s always hope. Maybe it will come to me in a dream.  

Quoted from steven8 Every script is coherent to the person who wrote it...

Just wanted to be sure.

That was fast... and furious.

It's so easy... a caveman can do it.

I just vomited something out, but it's gonna be so guessable as mine...I'm tempted to start from scratch

Quoted from AlsoBen I just vomited something out, but it's gonna be so guessable as mine...I'm tempted to start from scratch

You still have plenty of time.

Ah nuts - just noticed the genres - back to the drawing board  

Quoted from ColinS Ah nuts - just noticed the genres - back to the drawing board

!!$#%$%%#%!#%$!#

Me, too. I mean, I knew it when I started formulating my story. But, somewhere, as the story revealed, it...switched.

Dang it.

And, it was relatively coherent, too.

The wheels are turning...

Just saw this today. Nice one!

Quoted Text !!$#%$%%#%!#%$!# Me, too. I mean, I knew it when I started formulating my story. But, somewhere, as the story revealed, it...switched. Dang it. And, it was relatively coherent, too.

Haha - not sure my idea was either coherent or in anyway good, so the genre might be doing me a favour. Gotta try and get one in this time!

Sh1t there's a genre requirement!?!

You'd think after entering so many OWCs I'd remember to read ALL the requirements

I came up with an idea for a story, but coherency it might not be.
On the fence for now.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Sh1t there's a genre requirement!?! You'd think after entering so many OWCs I'd remember to read ALL the requirements

We seem to have moved away from the genre requirements of late, save the October OWC, which is always horror. Some of the best OWCs, personally, were the genre requirement ones. I always felt they added a spark of creativity, having to write inside of a specific box and all.

Horror, Suspense, Thriller.
Just keep saying it over and over.

My favourite genres, now I come to think of it.

Quoted from LC Horror, Suspense, Thriller. Just keep saying it over and over. My favourite genres, now I come to think of it.

Well... did you have time to think up an entry?

I fully intended to take part in this one, but the director making Ai Illusion asked me this morning if I could write her one more. Twenty pages this time. And, if I could have a draft ready by Sunday that would be super... Since I'm old, stupid, and a slow learner, I said yes, of course.

Really? What's with the deadline. And a new script entirely? I hope it pays off, Pia.

Would have loved to see what you came up with in this OWC.

Quoted from ghost and_ghostie gal Well... did you have time to think up an entry?

I'm at this point.

Me to self: Great idea!
A day or so later...
That's a crap idea.

Quoted from LC Really? What's with the deadline. And a new script entirely? I hope it pays off, Pia. Would have loved to see what you came up with in this OWC.

They're starting to shoot Ai Illusion next month and then they had plans to shoot Tangled Web. They did not know that that one had been sold. I'm supposed to get the money on the 15th. When that happens I will ask Don to remove it. I guess that was the reason for the hurry. Regardless, I will try to read as many as I can.

Fantastic opportunity, Pia! Good luck!

Crushing it. As always.

For the first time in a while...it looks like I'll have an entry. Just remember, the parameters are "coherent" not "quality."

Yuvraj, just wanted to pop in and say that this is a great challenge  .

So gutted I can't make it in (just returned from holiday, got home to a hemorrhaging fish tank I need to sort AND prepping for my youngest birthday party tomorrow  )

Should be able to read some next week though.

Quoted from Matthew Taylor Yuvraj, just wanted to pop in and say that this is a great challenge  .

Thanks.

Quoted from Matthew Taylor So gutted I can't make it in (just returned from holiday, got home to a hemorrhaging fish tank I need to sort AND prepping for my youngest birthday party tomorrow  )

No problem.

Quoted from Matthew Taylor Should be able to read some next week though.

That'll be great.

How is it going, peeps? Easy enough?  

Five pages down here, but not sure if I'll make it.
Starting late will do that.

Quoted from LC Five pages down here, but not sure if I'll make it.

You will.

At the risk of seeming incompetent, I missed the link to submit my entry.

How do I send in my work?

Quoted from D.A.Banaszak At the risk of seeming incompetent, I missed the link to submit my entry. How do I send in my work?

https://www.simplyscripts.com/owc

Thank you! You're a light saber! I mean, life saver.  Stupid autocorrect.

Stoping by to say that it sounds like a very fun challenge. I can't participate, not even sure if I'll be able to read any. I wish everyone who enters has a good time!

Quoted from D.A.Banaszak At the risk of seeming incompetent, I missed the link to submit my entry. How do I send in my work?

Theme of the OWC is coherence vs incoherence, not competence vs incompetence... so, you're good.

I'm in.

I tried to get something together, but I failed. Too much on my plate currently. Going to make a real effort to read these. Looking forward to seeing what everyone's got up their sleeves!

Well, I submitted...as always, I wasted most of the week and spend this morning doing the bulk of the work. Worried about the "coherent story" rule, haha.

If any of the scripts read like insane scribblings done in a few hours at most, well...you've figured out who wrote it!

I don't see any scripts up LC - I only submitted like 15 mins ago

It's okay, Ben. False alarm.
As you were.

Time's up!

The scripts will be up shortly.  

Looking forward to it!

Didn't write one this time.  I only had one idea, which I tried a few variations in my mind...and they all sucked.  Oh well, it happens.  Anyway, I read all the scripts and there were some really cool ideas.  All better than mine.
