Sean and Mark sure are being coy about being impending mug recipients.  

I know it's not an Oscar or BAFTA, but next best thing.  

Libby,

You have one. Get the second in the next owc.

Michael

This is surely unexpected! This really brightened my day. The mugs are still being handed out, right? Even during a tie? Or is there a death match? ;P

Thanks, everybody. I’m glad you all enjoyed the script!

Sean

Well Done Sean and Mark. Great scripts from the pair of you.

Well done to all of us for entering. So many good reads!

Thanks Don and to everybody who read and commented. Really encouraging and helpful critique as per usual.

Really need to work on my grammar

Haha! Gary and I had a match to the death. That too was a tie,   so Don very generously doled out two mugs. I think it was Gary?
No need to fret, Sean.

Quoted from MichaelYu Libby, You have one. Get the second in the next owc. Michael

Yep, easy!  
Michael, once you get one you always want another as a matching pair.

I think we have a write-off. People say I'm a write-off so I think I'm prepared. Otherwise, we get to share a mug. Bagsy I get the handle!

Sorry I'm late to the party... family stuff.

Congratulations to Sean and Mark!!!!!! Well done, Gents.

Quoted from AtholForsyth Does anyone know how to get in touch with Rob Herzog please ?

OWCs typically are anon so no email is listed but just as a heads up you can search for the writer, or script title (top right of this page under scriptsearch by name in this case) and all the scripts the author has written will display with contact details on various non-OWC scripts.

And if all else fails, contact Don.

I'll PM you Rob's email, Athol.

P.S. Rob's email is also listed in his Member profile details.

Nice job everyone, and congrats Sean and Mark. I actually had some time to read one of these and it happened to be Seans. I was very impressed with it, so I'm glad to see it won. Now I shall take a look at Marks....
