Quoted from LC Still just under a week to go so tardy reviewers have plenty of time to hop to it. Trying out my Pollyanna routine.

Yes, in your new role you must take everything in "moderation."

Yep - with one exception, it appears all latest reviews are from those who had already started and are now getting to the end of the cycle. We are going to average around 18/19 which will end up being a bit lower than the last two challenges which had considerably less entrants.

So, we may find that (1) a lot peeps wrote more than one script (2) this one brought in more newbies than most OWCs (3) something else

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Dave, moderation in moderation (let loose once in a while).

And for reviews, I intend to start but haven't gotten away from work/family commitments yet.

And DONE!  Wow, that was a lot to get through.

Under my handy-dandy spreadsheet, I counted exactly one-half that I gave a grade of "good" or better on.  And I'm usually not a very tough grader.  Think there were a few pissers along with some new writers involved on this one.

Alrighty! I've sent in my report!  

And the top three for me are...

  I'm excited to find out what others think!

And here's that lull Dave was talking about.  

The Lull...

ARGH!!!!!

Looks like reads are slowing to a halt.

Looks like most didn't read more than 3 and some ZERO!  Pathetic!!

There seems to be a few that are still slowly working their way through the scripts, but probably not as many as should expected.

As it stands, I think it’s going to be a fairly uneven review count on this OWC.

Could the low review count be down to the number of entries?

As in, some writers put in an entry with the intention of reviewing all, but when they saw the number they had to get through, were put off? and instead of reviewing as many as they could, simply did none.

Doubtful, but who knows.

I saw some writers say right on this thread they had read and reviewed them all, but missed mine and others as well.  No clue how or why?

My take is hat peeps are just dumbarses most of the time, and don't give a shit.

I'll be sending my votes in today.  In first place, Micro!  

I'm still hopeful some are not finished reviewing yet...

One can only hope.

It sure was a huge turnout for a genre a lot would normally steer clear of.

A terrific challenge Pia thought up.

I specifically want to give a big shout out to Ghostie and Andrea for their very enjoyable and astute reviews.

That was going well beyond the call of duty.

Thank you both on behalf of your fellow SSers.  

According to my calculations I have 3 left but go figure which ones.

I'm guessing you're talking about me. I didn't say I reviewed them all. I said I was done (reading). I've read them all and scored them all. I haven't reviewed 2 or 3 for various reasons. My intention is to go back and review the remaining scripts, though your reaction (and the fact I obviously skipped yours) gives me pause. This seems to be a rare chance to irritate you with something other than a bad slug...

If I give my wife a sedative, I should finish up by Thursday.

Quoted from DaveTroop If I give my wife a sedative, I should finish up by Thursday.

I’ve had to nag my missus to let me have these next few days since valentines is approaching.  It’s annoying how you have to pick between reading scripts or spending time with the missus.
