Thanks, Don!

Whoa! Where did Psyche Ward come from?!

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.

Hi,

I am reading your scripts and hope you will read mine.

Michael

Quoted from MichaelYu Hi, I am reading your scripts and hope you will read mine. Michael

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!  

Have family over at the weekend but will be reading all later, nice turnout

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.

Right gotcha, Michael!

Don't eat too many eggs, Ant.
Says me who just scoffed a rocky-road.

Yeah I’m away for Easter, so my reads/comments will be coming from Tuesday onwards.

It's more and more entries with each day! how fun

Woohoo
Being a comedy fan nice to see comedies as the central genre in this OWC

Wow!  Really great turn out for this!  Now that the Easter weekend rush is done, I'm going to try and read through as many of these as I can and comment.  Looks like a good mixture of genres.  I'm excited to read all the entries!

Quoted from irish eyes Woohoo Being a comedy fan nice to see comedies as the central genre in this OWC

Is it safe to say you wrote the rom com then?

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!  

Read and commented and voted on them all.

Some nice reads here and some interesting takes on the criteria, well done all for getting a script in.

Me too!
Could I have a voting ballot please, Steve?

Inspiring words, Kathy. Thanks for sharing.

Quoted from LC Me too! Could I have a voting ballot please, Steve?

Check your inbox.

Anybody who’s read all scripts and wants a ballot please message me and I’ll shoot one over.

Quoted from SACK Is it safe to say you wrote the rom com then?

No. I wrote a Film Noir/horror to mix things up

All are read and voted on.

Congrats to everyone who entered, and big thanks to those who read that didn't enter.

Thank you, Don and Steve, for a great challenge. Now enjoy your vacation

Voted!

Thanks Don and Steve for yet another OWC! It was fun to participate.  

Thank god the boss is not in the office today because I have literally just sat and read scripts all day  

Voted.

Thanks for putting on this challenge - highly enjoyable

Finished up commenting on the last of them.

Lots of good reading fun.

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.

Ow wow, so many people reading and voting. That's nice to see. And I think almost everyone who's in reading and voting too. What a spirit this time round

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!

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.

My votes are in!
Two were standouts for me.

Waiting for the Guess who Wrote What...

Oh, a List of Writers would be great.

Hey, did you guys&gals hear about the guy you had an exorcism and refused to pay? He got repossessed.

All done. Our votes are in. Congrats to all who participated. -A
