Alex, I had a quick look at yours last night after you outed yourself inadvertently and you were garnering some nice reviews. Overall, all positive.

In my experience of the OWC it often takes people a while to getting around and reviewing them all (like me, I've been a bit flat out with work this week). Yes, it's sometimes frustrating when a story becomes popular and other readers jump on and some entries rise to the top, and you see your own drop to the bottom of the pile but it usually balances out in the end.

Shame you didn't leave yours up imh, only a few people would have noted which one it was. I still would have given you an honest non prejudiced review.

As an aside, like Bill, I'm completely oblivious to any kind of member fixing - 'please vote for me'. If I'm that desperate for a mug I'll just ask Don what he wants for one, and I'll happily pay for it.   Just kidding about that last thing, they're not for sale.

Thank you, Libby

I know there was a lot positive.

The other side was more important to me.

I've got about 10 left to read. When are the writers revealed?

I've throughly enjoyed this experience. My first OWC and first experience with simplyscripts in general.  I love the attention to detail that this discussion board exudes, in the scripts, in the comments, in the reviews, and in the replies.

I will say that I found out about simplyscripts and OWC last week and had a day to write mine.  I won't out myself just yet but I am getting some decent feedback (i.e. stuff I know I need to work on) which will help in the long run.

I'm working my way through and have read some great stuff so far.  It's making my fall season memorable.  I even have written a new script this week within my own parameters.  I actually think it helps for creativity.  If we all had endless resources we would make Heaven's Gate, which I just watched for the first time today - the long version.  Not has bad a rap as it got, but definitely takes a while to get going - great cinematography and atmosphere. I like the way definitely rolls off the keyboard. Keyboard. key board.  bored...

I just woke up at my desk.

According to Don's email the writers names will be revealed on Halloween so I presume the vote email will go out sometime today.

@Prussian


You're a valued member of the site, mate. Your reviews are always considered and interesting, and you've got talent as a writer.

The OWC is tough on everyone.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw According to Don's email the writers names will be revealed on Halloween so I presume the vote email will go out sometime today.

Cheers. I'll have them read by tonight.

Quoted from Grandma Bear One thing some people do after the names are revealed is to delete their comments on scripts where the writer didn't read anything.

I do this.  I encourage everyone who gets pissed at these type of authors to give it a try.

It is very therapeutic.  Makes you less pissed.

Think I've read 14 so far. Enjoyed many of them. Fairly certain I know who wrote 2 of them, though I didn't going in, that's based on what I know of their personal styles - and don't massively care, actually.

Unlikely I'm going to have read all of them by the time it comes to vote, so not sure I'll try to pick a winner. Seems a bit unfair on the ones I haven't read yet, I'll try to get round to as many as I can and will definitely return the reads on my own.

Well done all!

I’ve read them all, and left a review on about 28-ish. The remaining I’d just be repeating what others have said. That doesn’t mean the (script) isn’t good enough for consideration, I just don’t want to fill up your thread with unnecessary banter.

If I missed yours and you’d like me to review it, no worries, send me a note… unless you didn’t comment on other scripts.

Best of luck everyone…

IMO, there's no such thing as "filling up a thread with unnecessary banter", as it helps when writers hear things repeated, whether good or bad.

If you read the script, post some sort of feedback.  Foolish not to, IMO.

Alright, alright… we’ll see. Maybe a quick message from the ‘Department of Redundancy Department’.

Should I pack a lunch for this guilt trip?

I have nine left, I think. I'll try to get to the rest before tomorrow night.

Ten left now, but according to the existing reviews, I doubt any of them will kick my favourite script off the throne
How do I vote? Do I send an e-mail anywhere?

Quoted from Equinox Ten left now, but according to the existing reviews, I doubt any of them will kick my favourite script off the throne How do I vote? Do I send an e-mail anywhere?

If you've submitted a script in this OWC, Don will send you an email with instructions on how to vote.
