I’ve reviewed half - and read nearly all - and my notes show that maybe only 3 or 4  have stories impacted directly by the weather (this is my set criteria and, like Dave, I’m sticking to it!  It will have no relevance to whether (pun intended lol) I think the story is good or the writing is ok; that will be dealt with separately.

Also there seems to be disparity with the reviews - all the scripts should have at least 10 reviews by now and some haven’t lol

Rant over and continue on peeps 😂

Yeah, very, very sad indeed.  2 of the better scripts have the least amount of feedback, while some of the worst have the most.

Makes ZERO sense!!!!

Give it time.

It often starts out like this.

It's only been two days...  


Besides, the voting is not voting for your favorite. It's giving the scripts you read a Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent. That way the number of votes matters less since it will be an average of the votes given.

Me personally, I usually pick the scripts with the fewest reads to read, but today, I was too pissed off to read anything.

Yep - I expect that we will end up somewhere in the 16 to 18 range for most scripts

2 days?  Uh...it's been 3 days, Pia.

Sorry you're so pissed off.  Not my intent at all.  If it's no big deal to you about your stance here, there's absolutely no reason to be pissed off with other peeps' opinions.

Again...my apologies...

The scripts were posted around noon Saturday, so by noon Monday it was about 48hrs...

Yes, I was pissed off today and I will never again offer to run one of these  OWCs. The fun has been totally drained from it and there's always a wet blanket putting a damper on things nowadays.

Try to have fun guys. That is the intention of these OWCs after all.

I hope one day you reconsider running a new OWC. I know most of us appreciate your efforts very much.

Yeah, seriously, Pia. You run a great challenge. You even got the laziest writer I know to drag himself away from the TV and write a script!    And I, for one, am having fun with this. It's been nice to see a proper OWC round here. I like the bickering, the good natured ribbing and texting with friend's over our scripts getting shit on! Like you said, it's all in fun.

As far as my reading goes, I usually start from the bottom, or the one with the least reads, and work my way up.

I wouldn't worry, Pia. This has been a fun one, some folkles do their usual stuff and create a bit of chaos, but it's part of the experience now. A person who hasn't been around in a while privately told me to just ignore it, sounds lame but it works.

Personally speaking, I reckon this has been the strongest set of scripts for a while. I've got about 4/5 down as properly good, and a good chunk at good, and the variety is keeping me going through the whole 28.

I think the level of work may have something to do with some of the old masters appearing, great to see you all again, lads and ladettes alike.

Yes, i’ve noticed poor scripts getting more feedback. But to be fair they need it more. As long as the review gives even one bit of useful advice about improving writing or story.

Pia

Sorry to hear you felt so bad, my apologies if I added to this.

As I have said before, I appreciate these chances so much, and understand this is a voluntary thing. It is a privilege to have this opportunity free of charge. Remember movie poet - gone.

Enjoy these, and respect them, whilst it lasts.

So, thanks for the chance. Thanks for an interesting, open challenge. Sorry I boobed on the heat, but I really did try on the summer aspect. So much so...

...I entered two scripts. At least one of them won’t come last place  


My scripts  HERE

The Elevator Most Belonging To Alice - Semi Final Bluecat, Runner Up Nashville
Inner Journey - Page Awards Finalist - Bluecat semi final
Grieving Spell - winner - London Film Awards.  Third - Honolulu
Ultimate Weapon - Fresh Voices - second place

It is a shame this divide has happened. I feel for Pia who has worked hard.

All I can say is that I worked really hard to conjure a summer script, I didn’t take anything for granted, and in the process I forgot the heat had to play a larger part.

I have quite a few to finish. All I can do is review them for what they are. One I read the other day had heat and no summer. Not a puff of summer in the sky. Didn’t matter. Great story. Well done writer.

Now back to the real business of reviewing.
