Oh I love lists. Thank you Don and thank you Kham for putting this little challenge together.

Off to a good start, read 16 so far... and now it's bed time for me.

After giving out lots of breadcrumbs as I remember it. All of the writers that are insecure about their work tend to do that... just as you - under the guise of asking questions - post threads about your WIP after writing only a few pages. It's really transparent. It's like a child drawing a square for the first time, they're so unsure of themselves that they end up asking Mom if they're doing it right after every line they draw.

Not saying it's a bad thing... just a transparent one. It does annoy some people. I think perhaps because they feel you're trying to manipulate them. So they let you know and it comes across as hate.

I think they were in this order on this list from the very beginning and Don just updated the list with the real names this time. The list was always there - I read in the order the scripts are on this list.

But to answer your question - no, this list is not in the writer's selectees' order)

Mark,

It isn't a contest.  There are no winners...  

However Writer's Choice (Writers' Choice? Writers Choice) will be announced, soon.

Maybe "Writer's Favorite"
