Quoted from mmmarnie I think I know which one is yours...I think.

I might know yours as well! Not sure though.

Quoted from IamGlenn I've been pretty quiet on the reviewing side of things. Basically, I've had a bit of a crazy weekend and had no access to a laptop (writing this on my phone). Tonight, I will be back with my laptop and then I will begin going through them all and giving my views. Mine is up and doing ok, which I'm happy with. Some very positive feedback and some things to work on. So thank you to all who took the time with it. Much appreciated

Glad to hear it mate. Hopefully mine went down well. If not, let me know and I'll go through with a more constructive review.

Dustin, you were actually one of the more critical reviewers. Not in a bad way though. You made good points and my script was far from perfect.

I may look into getting a deeper review from you though, as it can only help. Cheers for that.

You know what I have struggled with...too much action...well actually too much description.

Inevitably, the criteria have made them light in dialogue, therefore heavy in action.

When done well, you don't notice. If not, a heavy read.

So, combine the fact that we often read at night when we are tired, plus heavy writing, makes me a grumpy reader

Happy to re read if. Anybody one wants a second go later. I appreciate we will have some newbies

Now...to finish and see how I'm doing...could be worse...could be better...

Just pleased to take part

Thanks Don - you're a good man for this

Quoted from Reef Dreamer When done well, you don't notice. If not, a heavy read.

That's the challenge. To write action so well the reader barely notices the journey through the story.

Those that have resorted to extensive dialogue (musical aside) are also likely to fail because of the expository nature of dialogue.

I've really enjoyed it and I have another great short that I can make myself.

I've been having the same issue, Bill. Some have been hard to get to the story. You're right about it being the lack of dialog. But some do seem pretty heavy handed. That and other annoyances here have sorta sucked the fun out of this OWC, for me anyway.

Mhm.

Anyone else suprised by the lack of 6 and 7 pagers? Only seen two around. Most are 9 or 10.

I'm a beast.

I'm reading though these like a combine through cornstalks.

Dialog.
Action lines.
I don't care.

VRUUM VRUMM!!!  

Folks,

The final batch is up.  36 in total.  

One administrative item.  Please keep the discussion in the script threads about the scripts.  If you go off topic, I try to remove the off topic items, not so much to 'censor' or 'quash' anything, but rather it isn't fair to the writer to have his/her thread chewed up with off topic discussions.  Folks are more than welcome to open up something in general chat.

Don

Don, I knew it it's a lot of extra work for you to do these OWC and I've always appreciated what you've done for us. I had no idea, you actually read the scripts too!!!!!! I thought you checked to make sure the format was somewhat close to standards, but reading them all? Wow! And, I noticed you rated them all too! Again, wow! And on top of that, you're also buying a "crappy mug" to give away! IMO, you're the one that deserves a prize!

Rating them?  How?  WHere's the rating?

Don, you so cool, and I mean that in all seriousness.

He's rating them?

Quoted from Grandma Bear I thought you checked to make sure the format was somewhat close to standards, but reading them all? Wow! And, I noticed you rated them all too!

The MPAA rating was on the submission form and had to be toggled by the writer.

But I'll also get on the "Great job, Don" train again, this OWC has been handled superbly. I know I've benefit from the challenge as a writer, thanks for that.

As Glenn mentioned, the rating was part of the submission form.  However, if the script was unrated, I did read and add a rating.  

I'm still working my way through them.  I read the scripts that were submitted prior to Friday.  My reviews will be up shortly.

Don

Don is such a humble guy, it's easy to forget how much he does so we can have this place to read, write, learn, talk and fight.

He's gonna get mad but I have to mention, as I was just reminded of his hard work I also remembered to hit the Donate button way, way down on the left side of the Home page.
