Everytime I see your avatar I'm picturing Ricky Gervais( Which is the point really, right?) commenting on the board.

Hahaha that's pretty funny

I just put him up there because he's my... well idol... to be honest. Can I be honest? Yeah? He's my idol, sue me! What ya gonna do, ya know? Right?

Haha the stuff I write is influenced by him a bit, I like to hope. To write something like The Office would be amazing. How good is it?! Aaannnddd I'm rambling again.

Anyways

What he does, I think, is write on the tiny, miniscule hum-drum everyday situations that come accross as hilarious to the person outside looking in. But he's a niche. Kinda like Larry David or Jerry Sienfeld. That's his own brand.

We're almost to the end of the anonymous part of the challenge when the writers will be revealed. Without revealing my script, I do have a comment. I've gotten some comments on there being little suspense, the secret being so obvious, etc. Interestingly, though, the biggest secret in mine is buried in subtext and never spoken at all directly. Also interestingly, no one has commented a single word about it. Sure, the obvious has been brought up, but no one at all has even mentioned the actual secret. Maybe that's my fault as the writer, but I also wrote mine kind of like you would watch it. Nothing exists in the description without it being named or shown directly. I've gotten some flack over that too.

Well, apparently my secrets aren't as obvious as some think. The secrets everybody thinks are obvious are the ones I gave you. My main character has an entire layer of backstory that can be dredged up if you consider it carefully. It might also explain his motivations that people had some trouble with...

Hm... I didn't get a whole lot of credit, but then it's not as easy to read as "All You Need Is Love" either. Fascinating...

I read and commented on 31 so far.  I bashed 4 or 5, and went back and reread 2 of those, and posted new, better, more detailed feedback.

Yeah, weird OWC for sure.  I'm sure lots of the problems were caused by me, and I apologize for that.  It was never my intention.  I was quite harsh out of the gate, and I shouldn't have been.

I've still got a few to go but I've done more than half so far. I will finish them all by this weekend, even the p*ss taking ones.

It is kind of a bummer that you read and review 30 odd scripts but only get a handful of reviews for your own entry. Maybe it will change over the weekend when the names are revealed but I'm a little disappointed so far.

Because I didn't do ANY school work over break, I'm a bit behind this week and have had very little time to read any of the OWC scripts.  Rest assured I'll read at least 15 this weekend.

Sorry guys! (And girls)

At least I'm tan, right?

Hi Brian, good for you if you have read them all, just remember though that there is no expectation that you will. At least half of these scripts were probably written by people who do no read, what usually happens in busy OWC's is that people will try and read a few, often a good idea to read one for every review you have had. And then once the names are announced catch up on the regular contributers ones.

Once the names are revealed you will probably get some more reads.

I thought after a week we start guessing the authors and that it's not until later that their identities are revealed.

I was able to get a good number of reviews in this weekend since I was home for the holidays and now that my last paper has been turned in I'll try to catch up on all of the rest tonight. Hopefully as others have said, some of the reads/reviews will pick up once the identities are revealed.

Brian, when the names of the authors are revealed, I encourage everyone to take note of the authors who had time to submit an entry but found no time to read so much as one submission.

Then -- never, ever read anything submitted by these OWC parasites.

You get some every time, and they always tick me off.  This time, looks like you got quite a few.

I never expected everyone to read everything, that would be too much. I'm only trying to get through them all before the names are revealed so I can take a guess on who wrote what. That's the fun part in my opinion.

I was just saying because, as Pia mentioned, a lot of the reads are coming from people who are not taking part in the OWC. I do agree that a lot of the scripts are probably from people who are not regulars at this site and don't post on the boards though.

It'll be interesting to see how many new faces showed up for this OWC.
