Only got a few left me thinks *with the exception of Jowls, which I probably won't read unless the author sends me a secret handshake or passcode to convince me * I'm super relieved that each of the writers went in different creative directions, but it also blows me away that sometimes we hit similar notes.
Looking forward to finishing up the rest tomorrow. I've probably ticked off some, apologies if I gave yours an unjust lickin'. All the scripts are great efforts so far!
Prolly oughtta push that back a half-week and start voting this Saturday, instead
Isn't it just like a fargin' writer. Always re-writin'. Thus a post will now go under the knide and have a good ol nip/tuck. One final amendment coming up... It makes perfect sense to have voting during the coming weekend.
BUT Names will be revealed on US Tax Day, April 15th.
How bout that? We all good? Wonderful. Make it so, Don.
Well next for me is stardom and fame! My entry has already been turned into a feature and below is a trailer. True there's no shark but rules are there for breaking!
To my great surprise there are some very good scripts in this OWC
It's always difficult to compare with previous OWC's etc but to me this feels like one of the strongest batches I've read, admittedly with a few that require a rather large budget

Actors and water don't mix well these days... especially with all the health and safety. Soon as an actor goes in the water the costs are rising no matter what you try to do. Still though, there may be some willing to get their feet wet for a cut price fee.
I think I’ve read/reviewed them all now. If I’ve missed yours nudge me and I will.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality and diversity of the entries. When the theme was announced I expected a lot of very similar shark attack stories but the results have been very impressive. Personally there’s going to be quite a few that get the vote from me.

Some good imagination in the stories. I'm more than half way through.
Agree with Bill, the writing is better than average for OWCs.
A lot of stories didn't really meet the spirit of the assignment. Either there was no shark or no shark attack. Jaws is about a marauding shark, and that was the theme.
I'm not sure I'll be able to vote for a story that doesn't have a shark attack of some sort. Or at least a great struggle with the beast, like Moby Dick.
One I am on the fence about was the one with sharkman. It was one of the better stories. In some ways I lean toward voting for that(though I have more to read). But I'm just not sure if sharkman qualifies for me. I'd feel better if he was in the ocean and attacked. Instead he runs through the hallways and becomes an office shark.
In another well written one, the only shark was in a dream, and it didn't really attack anyone.
But we definitely had a wide variety. No two stories were alike, and most of them were pretty unique from anything I've seen in film.
