Well, looking at the results so far, I'm completely in shock at more than 1 script getting any votes, let alone 3!  Almost seems like a conspiracy, it's so insane.

There are some very poor scripts that have received votes, and personally, i just don't get it.

I voted for the script I deemed to be the very best, and sadly, it was not mine.  

But, in the recommend/consider, I did include mine, as I think it deserves it...although most do not seem to agree.

My first OWC was Feb 2011. I didn't participate the last couple years, but I've been involved with maybe a dozen. And I think the writing here is substantially improved from the previous ones. Very rarely if ever is an OWC great. I mean these are cranked out stories, they haven't had time to mature. I've read maybe around 18 so far this round, and all of them were clear and easy to read. Go check out the 2011, 2012 OWCs, many of those are harder to get through.

BTW, this is true of pro scripts too. The quality is getting much better. By quality, I am talking about the writing. They read easier, and the writers use, you know, writing, to generate things like suspense, humor, mystery.

Somewhere along the way, someone strangely decided that screenwriting shouldn't be actual writing.

I'm happy to say common sense is winning out now.

I didn't think it was that cryptic. Slating a bunch of scripts, and in turn people for voting for them, putting it mildly it's not great.

Who knows, maybe you're just having a laugh, also with the voting for yourself nonsense. For your sake I hope you are, it is supposed to be a bit of fun afterall

I didn't vote for myself in the poll that matters, but of course I gave my script a recommend, as it deserves one.  If it didn't, I wouldn't vote that way.

Looking at the Reader's Choice Poll, I would think everyone would be in a little shock seeing some of the very worst scripts receiving votes.  I mean, seriously...you think some of these should be receiving praise?

Not to mention any names, but I'm pretty sure there is at least 1 script that has received nothing but well earned criticism and the very least amount of reads...is that really worthy of a vote?  How does that happen?

The sad thing is that there are several pretty well written and conceived scripts that didn't receive any votes.  It's very odd to me to say the least.

That all sounds a little bit Kanye at an awards ceremony for me. And on that depressing note, I'm off to bed to dream (hopefully) happy thoughts.

All the best Jeff

I voted for one: Pinnochio. Strong writing and a cool concept. Like most OWC's, the story needs work, but this one stood above to me. No idea who the writer is.

My vote as well.

Looks like that's 2 things we agree on today!  

Glad to see it winning, but shocked it's not running away with the votes.
