Well, you've all survived this long and congratulations goes out to all of you. But, it's time for week 3, otherwise known as "The Trifecta". In this round, you will all be writing three 1-page shorts. In addition to this, each short will be of a different genre. The scripts will be scored on a range of 1-5. If a script isn't entered, you'd get an automatic zero for that script so, at least, enter something. Good luck to you all.

Please submit to SimplyScripts.com/OWC

Is there a missing number there?

1 - X page shorts... or do you really mean 1 page?

Is this the full assignment? Do I start writing now? Or, am I about to get a separate email explaining the scripts must be in disappearing ink, written right to left and include 7 characters, all named Jean?

I think you have to wait for your email because the match ups have to be assigned and then the genre etc.  So, I'd hold off till the clock gets announced.

Please read my scripts:

I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good.  I enjoy writing the same.  Looking to team with anyone!

Thanks

So... the disappearing ink thing. Gotcha.

For some reason, this message felt different.

Is this the extent of the requirement - three one page scripts?

When are they due?

Has to be more info I imagine?

I love a one pager, not sure I'm creative enough to think of 3 in one sitting.

Will be fun but tough.

Is sounded to me like each pair would be assigned three genres, so watch your PM box.

Something like Romanian soap opera, Zoroastrianism faith-based, and a horror trilogy (you still have to fit it on one page).


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

I'm still hoping it's a typo and Sean meant to type 1-5 pages

I think 1-page was intentional. Though he never specified the page size

Exactly what I said. Three 1-page shorts. Different genre for each. Finish by 11:59PM on Sunday. Same timeline as the other rounds.

No other rules.

So just to treble clarify... you aren't assigning genres to us, so we wont be getting PMs?
