Anyone know how long we have left? I just woke up to an email and have no idea how long it's been sitting there. I'm sure I could work it out but my maths is shit.
Yeah I just saw mine too. Couple of questions. Open budget? Actually silly query cos the one I got is high budget anyway lol. Do both contestants get the same one to write? Is there a theme behind the log? Or just random stuff in what is basically a long scene I guess. TIA
I don't think this is a "breadcrumb" as Dustin put it, but I really thought the perimeters of the challenge would be easier considering the time constraints. I think I'd struggle to get something out in a normal OWC with mine.
Did I read in here somewhere that we can't use more than 5 characters?
What if they don't speak?

Okay - submitted. One two hour session did the trick. We'll see if it shows.
An odd feeling this one - almost looking forward to not moving forward to be relieved of having to write another one. Normally I'm chomping at the bit.

I don't believe in budget constraints. Yes, the person you've been paired with received an identical set of parameters. Try to write a complete story. I will say that the MoviePoet vets will probably have the advantage on this one.
