Deserter by Andrew Lightfoot (Lightfoot) writing as - Short, Horror - A man finds out just how haunting the past can be.
But serious question as i’m new to this. Is it the done thing to give your own scripts glowing reviews? Or is that all part of the fun and throwing people off the scent and whatnot?
You shared my weather criteria as a must so it was narrowed down. The Duck script wasn’t your style and I knew who wrote the Mozzie one so WW was yours. I voted it my fave.

Depends.
I didn't bother with a comment on mine this time.
I have added a cryptic comment on mine in the past (e.g., solid, meets the parameters, blah, blah, blah).
Have never wrote a glowing one on mine like Jeff's but I am quite alright with it - it's all a misdirect.
What I don't think is legit is arguing a point on a script thread that relates to your script or championing your script - responding to others. See the back and forth on A Beautiful Day is an example. Had I written that one - my debate with Jeff would not have been appropriate nor his - at least in my view.

Well, you should review your own script for sure, just in case peeps are keeping track and see you reviewed every script except 1.
In terms of giving your own script a glowing review, that's up to you. I try to keep it honest on every review I give and when I write a bad script, or find mistakes that I didn't see at first, I shit on my own script and point out the mistakes.
