I'll actually stick up for Clorox here. The man speaketh the truth most of the time. He may be harsh but I honestly can't disagree with most of his comments. They could be more diplomatic, but then couldn't we all?

I was really hoping for the next five today (15-20).

Hey, look at the time kman!   It's still daylight for some of us, but on the other side of the world they're all snoozing. Unless the powers that be are insomniacs.

Hi don,

where do the authors' names come this time? Just curious...

I've been scanning through the comments (as I'm supposed to do) and I've noticed a lot of people commenting on there not being enough comedy.  

Please remember that it's a "dramedy" and not a flat out comedy, which will be presented in a different way.

That is all.

Quoted from michel Hi don, where do the authors' names come this time? Just curious... Michel

Some names were names the author submitted under, some names are twisted versions of the true author's real name, some names random phrases heard whilst trying to think up names and some names are names I got from my kids when I ask them to give me a fake name.

How do you decide whether a SP crosses the line from "dramedy to conedy"  or in the other direction from "dramedy to drama"?  It's not like a recipe where for "dramedy" you add 3 scenes of drama and 2 lines of comedy.  So I guess it's more the vibe you get from the story?  Because some of the SP's I've read have LOL moments while others have more subtle, light hearted things that happen that sort of pull it out of the strictly drama category.  For some it's obviously lacking in drama or comedy but with others it's a fine line.  

I'm not sure if this was a question or just me rambling.  

The best I can come up with is: a script that has a story you'd expect from a drama, but laced with comedic touches. That's pretty rubbish, but I know what I mean.

With there being 40 scripts, clearly no-one's going to read every single one. Just curious how people choose which to review? I try to give each script equal attention, and a 50 point score, but I can't see myself doing that for 40 scripts...how do people choose which ones they're going to pass on?

Quoted from JonnyBoy how do people choose which ones they're going to pass on?

Stupid things as titles, loglines... and tireness...

I usually try to pick those with the fewest reads, but if I open it up and it somehow turns me off right away, I move on to something else.

Hope it wasn't mine...   oops...

I go with the one(s) with the fewest reads as well. Not only is it good to help out a writer whose work hasn't attracted as much attention, but there's also less of a chance of me saying something that someone else hasn't already brought up.

You shouldn't worry about saying something that someone has already brought up.  Repetition is a great way to determine what is really wrong with a script.  

I will read and comment on every single entry.  I start from the bottom up, so I too go for the ones with the fewest posts, or actually, the oldest posts.

well said Jeff.  I have read every one so far - did the first 15 yesterday one after the other (had the time -Monday is my spare day). And i will read the other 25 when up.
I was going to comment on this later but will bring it up now.

I think that every one who posted a script should read all of the others. or else it isn't fair.   Just my opinion but i will definitely read all the others and comment even if my reviews are short.  I feel strongly about this and will be very disappointed if ALL scripts don't have a minimum of 40 replies. Cheers and thanks Jeff for bringing it up.
