I try to read all of them. I think it's only fair b/c I want others to read mine. I'm a firm believer that if you want to gain respect (especially for the newbies here) jump in, read stuff, EXPECT NOTHING BACK.
Do it b/c you want to and should do it. You will learn a lot. When I first joined here, I didn't know what on the nose dialog was. Now, I can sometimes spot it in others' works.
I was lucky in that a lot of the regulars embraced me pretty early on. People like Libby, Pia, Anthony, Jeff, Dustin, Bill, Max Debra and others that I can't think of off the top of my head, really enjoyed the fact that I was willing to read and help out.
Then, people started reading my stuff, not b/c they felt obligated, but, b/c they wanted to. They wanted to see what I had b/c I was so honest with them.
Like I said, for all the newer people out there, especially if you didn't get great reviews, or not a lot of reads, or your stuff (outside of the OWC) hasn't gotten many, if any reads, don't fret. Jump in and make contacts. The reads will come.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
So, any info on when the writers choice will be announced? I know I'm not going to win because it turns out my entry was crap, but I'm interested to see how well my favorites did.
I guess this is a time of eagerly awaiting results for me. Really hoping that Bernie wins the Iowa caucus and that one of my favorite scripts wins here.

If it is crap, then you should know that already. Mine was crap too, but I knew it was crap from the outset. I didn't have time to put as much effort into this as I would have liked.
Funnily enough, I'm not writing anything in particular this week. If the OWC had been run this week, I would have had a lot more time for it.

Really hoping that Bernie wins the Iowa caucus...
I had to Google that. I watched some 'news' in my country yesterday morning and on it, were some Americans sitting in a diner. There were some republicans and some democrats. One of the Republicans was asked what she would do if Trump made it as leader. She obviously supported one of the other candidates for leader (not that I know who they are).
She said, that even though she doesn't agree with Trump's politics that she would still vote republican because she had taken some kind of party pledge.
It doesn't really matter who you vote for anyway, the choices you have are an illusion, but all I could see was some crazy, brainwashed woman with a very low IQ. How can you support a party no matter what they do?

I find it scary that people can be so stupid.
That's US democracy in glorious action right there! Everyone believes they have a choice but they don't, all they have is a flip of a coin and some don't even have that option.

Hunter, yours definitely is NOT crap. I say that because (while I have not had it confirmed, I'm SURE I know which is yours. Sometimes, you know a person's writing style.)
Re: American politics... since it's been brought up on this thread. Yep, there are definitely people that vote the party line - regardless of the issues. Sad. Extremely, extremely sad.
Anthony: if Bernie DOESN'T win, will you vouch for me as I run like heck to another country? ) I'd consider Australia, too. But no way am I putting my puppy through quarantine... And since Canada's connected to the US geographically - that puts them at risk if someone like Trump actually got in office, too. Sigh.
I only commented on 1 script so far, but I've actually read about 15 - all in their entirety! I was on a plane, so couldn't take notes, but if anyone wants my input, PM me and I'll get to it this week.

"You get the government you deserve". We could fix our process pretty quick. 1)We could have open primaries rather than party based primaries. Rather than having the far wacko right and the far wacko left facing each other in a general election you would have a moderate right and a moderate left. 2) we could cap the amount of money you can spend on a campaign and eliminate PACS. ETC. ETC. Christ, we don't even allow for voting over the internet.
But far and away the biggest problem is that Americans don't vote and far too many of those that do would disqualify a candidate based on whether they believed in the right God, smoked weed or had an affair rather than how they would govern. i.e. we get what we deserve. When we decide to have a better process to yield better candidates - we will.
When it comes to politics, no matter where people are on the political scale, it always amazes me that people always think they are smart, informed and right and anyone who disagrees with them is an idiot.
