Six pages into the shittest script I've ever written.
Might hit the abort button.
Oh, I bet I've got you beat! I bet most will be out on the first page on mine! Don't get me wrong, I think that it's the best I could do under the circumstances. I like it, but I really hope someone sees how easy it will be to shoot and do it!

Before I submit, just wanna make sure it's okay if I can't read others scripts till after the 16th. I have something I need to work on pretty much nonstop before then to meet a deadline. After that, I'll have plenty of time to read and comment on everything.

Wouldn't it be easier/more reasonable for members to read (at a minimum) the amount of scripts proportionate to the number of reads they receive? On top of that, when the names are revealed, everyone will have the opportunity to return reads to those who actually read their scripts. Seems to be more in keeping with the whole quid pro quo concept these boards operate on. Granted, as far as I can tell, reading all the scripts has never been an official or unofficial rule, but there seems to be some kind of a pressure for everyone to do so. I think it's an unreasonable expectation and not even to the challenge's benefit, since the later reviews get more and more negative as everyone gets burnt out from reading. That's been my experience anyway.
I agree. I'm not entering so don't give much of a shit anyway haha. Just seems like something that comes up every time and a few previous comments have made reference to it.

I agree.
I understand the frustration, even irritation when new people enter and don't read and comment on anything. I don't like that either. However, and I usually try to point this out, no one is required to read every script. It didn't used to be that way. You read as many as you could and when writers were revealed you read the scripts of those who commented on yours. Now it seems everyone is expected to read every single script. I don't have time for that so, I'm sitting this one out. I know a few others did the same. I'll definitely try to do the October OWC though, since that's my favorite.
I don't care who reads mine. I've not written it for the writers here, but rather to get produced. The contest is just a bit of fun along the way.
Fair warning though, if I don't get the full winner's mug this time around, people will have to die.
It isn't a contest. There are no prizes. It's a challenge.
As of 4:34 Eastern Daylight Time there have been twenty scripts received. All who have submitted a script to this point should have been notified. If you submitted a script before 4:34 pm EDT and didn't get a confirmation, ping me.
