Thanks for getting this up, Don.
Don usually sends me a breakdown so I can keep track of entered scripts in real time, but about four of them appeared out of nowhere. Was pleasantly surprised. |

Don't worry, Michael. Sometimes reviews are a little slow to get going but it will happen. Good to hear you're doing your bit! |

I'm not worried about the review because I understand that it is Easter. Just let you know I submitted my script for this OWC. I should have done it after I submitted. I am late to do.
Happy Easter to all of you.
Michael. |

Phew! Have spent a good deal of the afternoon reading and commenting on the entries - I tried to get to everyone - hope none were missed. JMO - but anyone who takes the initiative to write one of these to spec deserves a read and a comment - I hope I didn't miss anyone. As always, there were some interesting reads. A couple takeaways...I'm glad that "Love" showed up in more than one entry as the ultimate "superpower". I believe that. The other is this from one writer: You can make any gift you are given priceless. I feel that for my writing. I know that many of you will agree. That is the "superpower" of this group. Cheers to another OWC! |

I didn't participate in the last few OWCs for multiple reasons but have since achieved a 'happy place' again with writing. This was a great challenge to come back to.
Hats off to all the writers that entered and everyone else for reading and reviewing. Some pretty great writing on display and creative takes on the challenge.
My votes are in! Good luck! |

We had no dog in this fight, only had plans to read a few due to our busy schedules, but ended up reading them all. Glad we were able to. Must say it was an interesting challenge. Good job to everyone who manage to get one in. A lot of very fine entries.
All the best.

I love that you said that, Kham. This is how they all should go — everyone reading, commenting, voting, debating but nothing mean spirited or getting out of control. This is what SS is to me. That said… I really do have to apologize for reading so few. I’ll try to get in a few more, but I’m currently on vacation and, well, with three kids and all that it’s been kinda tough to find some time. Still, I’m very happy you guys are all sort of taking the reins and making this challenge a good one! Steve |

I miss the good old days when certain members would stop reading after line 2 if you had an orphan. It took me a while to figure out what an orphan was |

Not saying it’s right to stop reading, but it was a valid point. |
