I'll kick it off...
Max - Moving On (Without a shadow of a doubt) PK - Sunshine Gary - Fade Out Steve - Even Smiles
I also feel like Zack had a hand in both Fade to Black and Bastard Memories, some co-writing, perhaps? |

Zack’s a little tougher to figure without the horror, so I just looked to the only entry that had profanity in the title. |

I can't wait to go 0-10 again. Although, last time, I think I got one right, but this time, no damned clue, except for two of them:
Fade to Black - RolandJ Swan Song - PKCardinal Moving On - Kevin_L Dating on the Web - SteveClark Fade Out - Mr. Blonde Bastard Memories - Zack. Even Smiles - Max Ruddock Say Goodbye - Zombie Sean Seeds - Gary In Houston Sunshine - Colin S |

They probably aren't all, judging by the difference in voting numbers between the scripts. Just my feelings... |

Here’s something. I wonder what everyone’s voting process is in regards to scoring. Meaning this — I don’t think I’ve ever gave a script an Excellent. Many Very Goods (one in this batch). But, what does it take for you to give an excellent? For me, I’d totally have to be blown away. |

I struggle with a simple 1-5 because I don't give 5s and a script has to be abysmal to get a 1. So, there are really only 3 scores in play. I like 1-10 or multiple categories, but I'm in the same boat as you. |

Till now, I have never given any script an 'excellent'. Rarely 'very good' - scripts that surprise me or put a smile on my face. So mine varies between 'fair' and 'good'. Plus, I always think of my own scripts as piss-poor. |

I definitely think my average score given is higher than most. Usually, my average score is higher than the overall score for the winning script in each challenge. I rarely give a 1 or 2. Most of the time the spread for me ends up with a bunch of 3s, a smaller bunch of 4s, and 1 or 2 excellents (5). I save the 5s for the scripts that really stand out. If a script makes me jealous, it's an automatic 5. If I get done with a read and go "damn, that was good" it's a 5. If I'm thinking about a script one or two days after reading, it's probably a 5. I'll overlook typos and formatting for a story that really rocks my world. Too many typos though and I'll drop to a 4, reluctantly. But, I try and judge heavily on story. I also try and leave my own personality out of it. Though sometimes a script goes too far for my taste and I'll knock it down. Say, for example, something is super gorey. Not my taste. But, if the story is strong and it's well-written, it'll score high for me. Cool question. I hope others respond. |

Aside from the ones you know, so far 0-1. So you’re doing well if your goal is 0-10. |

Hell, I would’ve picked me for that one, too. But no. Actually, I pegged my buddy Irish Eyes (Mark) for that, but he denies it. Then Don confirmed it. So, honestly, I have no clue about nothin. |

I give excellent if I’m blown away and not. Remember Moviepoet - what if a mind bending script was at the very end of the pile - you’d still give a couple excellents before it. Every time I read something truly exciting I let my mind rest from it, not to compare the rest to it. I give excellents to the ones I remember well after the challenge |

Wouldn’t it be too late to give an Excellent vote if it’s well after the challenge? |

I always score on the high side to give credit to OWC effort alone. It's no easy task.
Like PK, I'd rarely, if ever give a 1 or 2.
Excellent scores are reserved for memorable entries of which happily there usually a couple of standouts.
