I'll give you a hint on mine. I actually originally had written Part One, but then when I saved it into one of its many evolutions, I lost the part with "Part".

I actually wrote Part Two First, which was supposed to be Part One, but then I was struck by... By a craving for a big bowl of...

...of salad.

That's almost as good a hint as having your name on the script.

I've changed my mind.

I think Cornetto wrote Family Name.

I know what you mean. I'm almost too afraid to look when I see that someone new has reviewed mine.

Here are some of my favorites so far.

I think that these ones are the most professional and polished:

The Family Name

Love Letters

The Ballad of Uncle Sam

Delivery: I think this one, though it needs to morph into a script is a good story and I like the writer's personality:

I thought both Mercy and Stolen Santa have a lot of potential to be feature lengths.

I think The Broken Locker, though written by a young inexperienced writer has a lot of young energy and the creative idea can be felt within despite the typical mistakes in all young writing.

I loved the creative idea within Return Service Requested.

Postal could be an excellent psychological thriller if developed.

I still have several others to read, but this certainly hasn't been a boring challenge.
There have been some common stereotypes running through with the apparently mundane life of a postman; but maybe we'll all be stimulated by this and encouraged to write about a postman who lives a fulfilled life.

Sorry, It's 2:30 am, I'm burned out and I really have nothing to say right now.

Just tired seeing myself referred to as a "maybe posted a couple of times member"

This will be my 20th post, so I'm hoping it will kick me up a notch.  Let's give it a try!

No dice.

Oh well, at least this will be post number 21.


PS   I've heard of people talking to themselves but I might be the first who has posted to himself.  My friends have always said I'm not quite right.  Gonna be tough to defend myself after this pathetic display.

Going to bed now.......zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Just a word of thanks to everyone supporting this edition of the OWC...Read all the scripts and, for the most part, they were all pretty enjoyable...Hope some of the newer writers will take the critiques to heart, and just know that honesty builds better writers and that's how you learn...Suggest printing out all your critiques, and pin them up on the wall. This is valuable input and will help you in the future...Do work on a rewrite. Got to put that knowledge to work for  wnext time...

Favorites? Liked different ones for different reasons, although am rather disappointed that NO ONE managed to insert zombies into the story line...(Where was the severed zombie head that was delivered to the wrong address? The guys at the post office...)

Common error was the missing of proper character introductions...

Got a couple guesses...Sandra might have done Yuley, New Guy did Red Eye (but he has left other reviews)...on board with Pia doing Love Letters (remind me to get slightly tipsy next time I want to write something)...Cornetto seems a good match with  the Family Name...Guessing Tim Betts might have done Uncle Sam (good action with super villians...) Stebrown-All eyes, maybe ...Zombie Sean- Postal...Cindy may have done registered delivery. Mercy? Not the foggiest idea...

Favorites? Liked Love Letters, Family Name and Postal...

Good show, ya'll.

My original did feature a werewolf if that counts. As for your guess...I've said too much already.

HELL YEAH, that counts! Werewolves, zombies and vampires...all good regardless of the genre, if you do it right...Example?

ELIZABETH
Oh, Charles...My Dear...My furry love...Oh, my heart would still
burn for you forever! Hot with the passion of a thousand exploding
suns...regardless of the frequent maimings and seemingly random
evicerations...Oh, Kiss Me Charles! Kiss me now, kiss me...forever.
Kiss Me...Deadly!

CHARLES
AWROOOOO!!!

See?

geez, I used zombies for the first time during the last OWC and got downright scathed for it. Can't win for losing.
