Congratulations to Richard and Eric, well deserved.

Always surprising to see the writer reveal - my own guesses were way out (though L.C., you called mine pretty early on).  Good to see all the scripts getting a high read count - and kudos to those who didn’t enter but still jumped in to read.

Thanks to Don for hosting another challenge; plenty of good entries, here’s to seeing a few picked up.

Aha! Yep, I had you pegged SteveM. There's a certain eoquent style to your writing I admire. Hmm, my three guesses out of 31? Not bad.  

** I vote Chris Bodily for most generous reviewer btw. Just an observation.

** And credit must go to Slug master, Jeff, not just cause he liked mine and has helped me with rewriting my pesky slugs, but because I think he was much more temperate with his reviews this time around, even those he didn't care for.  Didn't go unnoticed.

Pleased to see that I was Jeff's top pick... again.

Definite props to Chris B... even though his own didn't go down well, he tried to find the best in everyone else's. Which is nice, but I feel that the reviews lose a certain amount of impact... unless you get a bad one, then you know you've done something seriously wrong.

Have to agree here, too.  Chris Bodily seems to love everything he reads...or close to it.

I was being serious...hope you know that.

It may not have fell into the parameters, IMO, but it was effective.

I want to thank everyone who took the time to read and review my script; "The last ride" aka "one last ride." Sorry for the agony I caused everyone because of the messy writing. As some of you already guessed, it was written in a haste. I'm thankful to the generosity and kindness of the ones who powered through the suffering of reading my script to the end. Thankful to the ones who couldn't read any farther for their honesty.

Sorry I couldn't review more than 12 scripts. It was a fun experience. Thanks for making  it happen.

Next time I'm getting the mug. But please mods notify me of the OWC on the first day.

Thanks Don, sorry I haven't been round to say, ta. A hols without wifi...

I am happy, and  touched as well as surprised, that my script  "Either side..' Had some reception. Thanks. I don't write these days so it's such a good outing. I really look forward to these.

My script needs some work, but actually I feel it's one of those that could have something. One to fine tune.

But I think we'll need to accept one thing. Deep breath ...

The best OWC writer ... Ever ... Is  ...  Eric Wall.

That's my opinion.

If Mathias did more, recently, their could have been a fine old fight out, (and Ryan as well)  but in my five years here, no one has been that good, that often. Well done sir.

I have no idea what you do, but I hope you continue to write.

And well played richard. Such an active member now, bravo.

Thanks Don. It's free, and so worthy, to me. Thanks.

Been a while since I last chimed in, but...

Big congrats to the winners, the Bernies, and the "losers." IMO, we're all winners.

I loved a good chunk of these. There were a few that didn't deliver the goods, and it hurts that some of those were horror, sci-fi, and comedy. But at least one of these got a good rewrite, and I managed to get all the way through this time, lol. (Even though I was exhausted and falling asleep, but that's my problem, not yours; getting up at 6:30 a.m. every Wednesday for my day gig is a bitch.)

Certainly was fun this time around, as always.

My script didn't fare too well, but I didn't think it would be that bad. The whole "LIMOSUINE" thing, ha ha... embarrassing. That's either the spelling I got when I Googled or my fingers scrambled the spelling (which happens a lot when I type, even slowly); and thought "check for errors" also covered spelling. *blush*

I'm so new to Trelby, and I found out after the fact that Trelby has its own spell check, quite different from Celtx. Celtx spell check is more like Word (misspelled or foreign words are squiggly-underlined red). But at least I know for future reference. But at least this was a fun little test drive.

Nice to see all of my favorites get top or mid honors.

I've not been overly impressed with Trelby, and the fact that it's free is the only real selling point for writers I think. I've tried pretty much every software and app going and really can't say many really are that much cop.

I use my iPad for first drafts - and at the moment am using Script Pro, which is fine for this. Then I edit it in Final Draft and/or Fade In. The latter is free for a limited version but very cheap even for the full one.

May be worth checking out? It has probably the best interface of any of the screenwriting softwares around.

All I need is a blank page and the ability to fill it with words. Everything else is surplus fluff.
