Just a reminder to any first timer OWC participants. This is an anonymous challenge, please don't out yourself until after the votes are cast, and even then, just wait for the announcement I say.
I was contacted by a participant, it wont alter my voting in any way.
EDIT: Never mind I see he outed himself on the script. Does a mod want to jump in??
In the true spirit of the OWC, the challenge is anonymous.
Do not reveal publicly what script you wrote. Do not reveal what script you wrote via PM, either.
We'll let you know when... Until then make sure your lips are sealed.
... P.S. The Writer has said he didn't realise and an honest mistake in divulging authorship was made. For those couple of you who did see, or had correspondence, wipe it from your memories.
It is Easter weekend in the UK as well, so I'm out with the fam quite a bit therefore I've not been able to check a lot out yet. I will read and review all of them before the time is up though, which I presume will be Friday?
Anyway, also I'd like to remind reviewers that yes we do have new writers taking part in the OWC but also writers who have taken time and effort to get the scripts into the competition. Just saying you don't like it or dropping out part-way through reading because you are trying to get through the scripts as fast as possible is not productive. Try and help them, make some constructive comments if you can. The OWC can be a great learning process.

Yep, tis a long Easter weekend for lots of us round the world. Plenty of time afterwards for people to jump on and review.
I whole heartedly agree with Mark too, regarding constructive critiques.
Also, to those who entered their first OWC your comments are valuable even if you're just starting out. If you don't feel comfortable commenting on technicalities just give your views on story.
Kind of shocking the disparity between reviews between the 27 entries. Some have less than 8, which you'd think by Monday evening, shouldn't be the case.
As always, some terrible entries have a bunch of feedback, while others, have very few that deserve alot more.
As always, I'll look at every single one and provide some kind of feedback. Doesn't appear to be the case with most, though.
Good challenge, Zack! You need to get reading, bro! HA!!
I think I have 5 or 6 to go. Can't say there's been a complete stand-out script yet. A lot of scripts do several things really well, but I haven’t read one where I've gone, wow this is going to kill the competition (challenge).
I think it’s going to be a close race for quite a few scripts, mine is definitely not one of them this time round. Happy to take my licks though, I know what I did. I still personally love the script.
