Quoted from ReneC It seems we have no multiple entrants! A bunch of people came out for this one.

I for sure thought there were some double entries! some people have incredibly similar styles.
A lot of writers in this one, well done Rene for attracting them in with the parameters.

How are everyone's entries doing? (without giving yourself away)

I think mine will miss out on the "honourable mentions" but this is the most well-received OWC entry of mine so I am pretty damn chuffed so far

I was convinced that at least one writer submitted two, if not three, entries. I'm shocked at how good some of the entries are this round. Congrats to many writers and big kudos if the winner is new to SS. Quite the feat.

Now, as to how mine is doing? Typical. Some stupid mistakes and thoughts/ideas in my head not really making it to the page for readers to 'get it'. I finally have formatting nailed, now it's time to hone the rest of it. A re-write or two will definitely be in order.

Finished reading every entry and voted on them before I go back to work tomorrow. Wouldn't have the time to do it in the next few days so just blasted my way through them today.
Good luck to everyone.
I've had some really good replies and lots of pointers and tips to improve upon.
No aspirations about the scoring but the feedback has been invaluable.

Glad to hear it! That, and the practice of writing, are the main reasons why we do these OWCs.

Heaven knows I need all the help I can get lol.
Thanks Rene.

Hey Owen, I'm just curious...you say you read and commented on every script, but you only have 16 comments in total under your name.  There were 33 entries.

What am I missing here?

Quoted from Dreamscale Hey Owen, I'm just curious...you say you read and commented on every script, but you only have 16 comments in total under your name.  There were 33 entries. What am I missing here?

Hi, I read every script but didn't comment on any of them. I voted for them.

Quoted from Geezis Hi, I read every script but didn't comment on any of them. I voted for them.

Oh...I see.

Comments are King, bro.  They keep things interesting...especially on these OWCs.  Peeps love to check and see if their entry got any new reads (and comments).

Up to you how you play, but I'd highly recommend leaving comments, so peeps know you actually read their script, and they know how you felt about it.

Yes, and you're not the only one who feels the notes are invaluable. Even if you feel you're a rookie or unqualified to give notes to perhaps veteran writers, you are a member of an audience and we all want to know what the audience thinks and feels about our scripts. Even saying what you like about a script is helpful.

When I was a rookie I was encouraged by the community to comment on scripts, I didn't have a lot to offer on formatting but as writers, we all have valid opinions on story, characters, structure and the like... jump on in Owen.

So why in the world wouldn't you exchange the same courtesy that you consider invaluable? Even if you don't feel you're experienced enough to offer advice, you felt you were experienced enough to use the scoring system. It may mean reading less entries but take the time others are taking to leave a review.

You don't want to be known as someone who enjoys the benefits but doesn't reciprocate. Oh wait...I think this may be my ex-husband.

I'm still finding my feet here, give me time and I'll be fully involved. All of this is new to me, not just the writing but the site as well. As soon as I have my confidence, I'll be fine.
And no......I'm not your ex-husband you'll be pleased to hear

Thanks for the encouragement
