This is a great site, I've been trolling it for a long time and I'm glad I finally jumped on board.  

As far as the reviews go, I think everyone not only their own taste but also their own style of reviewing.  This type of contest is for learning.  I mean, what's really at stake here?  There are no awards, prizes or mention in the Movie Bytes newsletter.  It's just a writing exercise.  If you didn't follow the "dramedy" guideline but you finished a short in a week then that's the prize in itself.  If it was a "contest" and you didn't follow the guidelines then you should be DQ'd...but it's not.

The reviews here are great, I'm already planning for a rewrite...



One question:

We are supposed to turn in signed copies of our scripts (if we choose so, I know), right?

Can we fix few typos, and if yes, how far we can go with fixing?

After the authors have been announced you can resubmit your script with your name on it and fix any typos you want.  Just be sure to let Don know it's a revision of your OWC script in the comments on the form.

Do you think we could start to establish here our own Top 5 yet? I don't really think it would influence the other reviewers. I believe each one of them has his/her own opinion and wouldn't be influanced at all.

I see people reviewing scripts that don't have a little asterisk by the title. If it doesn't have an asterisk that means the writer isn't reviewing, right? Or did I misunderstand? I don't wanna read stuff by people who aren't here reviewing.

I was thinking the same thing... maybe those people have already read all of the ones with astericks?

Agreed. That's a lot of entries to post in just 5 days, and thanks as always for hosting the site/challenge.

That could be, n i think its great that people want to read 'em all. I don't mean to discourage anyone. I was just curious.

I think the score is the reveal of authors is to be done by Don.

It's highly unlikely in my opinion authors have reviewed and commented their own scripts.

The little asterisks is to indicate folks who have particpated in (and commented on) previous OWC's. These tend to attract alot of new writers who drop off thier entry and are never heard from again. This is not to say that they aren't reviewing now or won't in the future, they just don't have a track record to fall back on...So by all means, check out and read as many as you like.

Oh, and yeah, I've seen it done in the past where someone has reviewed their own script just to throw the guesses off the trail...
