Quoted from JonnyBoy The other interesting thing about the reveal is it shows who went around praising their own script. Clever, or a bit cringeworthy? Tut tut.

Always a good question.

Reviewing your own script is fine, but normally to be neutral or give it a good kick. We all know where our script is weak.

Talking it up is another thing.

I think there's a big difference between waxing lyrical for half a page about your own script and putting a more positive spin on something or providing a little tacit info - in particular when the thread is being derailed repeatedly by one poster who insists their opinion is gospel.

Congrats to all writers. I will get to reading your entries soon.

So...the age old question...

How many peeps who entered a script didn't read or review a single script?

Who are the total A-Holes who should never be aloowed to enter an OWC again?

You know who you are and we do as well.  Get on the horn, peeps and catch up, or choose to be that ass who takes but doesn't give.  

I don't know who they are and I couldn't give a hoot. A couple of newbs by the looks of it, but big deal. They're probably unaware or didn't care.

Appears to me that most people who entered did review a decent amount.

First, I want to congratulate all of us for participating in a really great OWC.

Second, I tip my hat to Eric as the Writers' choice, and to our four runners-up, Henry, John, Ryan and Bill. I actually gave recommends to Eric and Ryan. Hmm, no ladies in the group this round.

Yeah, I feel pretty guilty about only reading a dozen or so scripts.  It's a real struggle for me to write, but carving out time to read 35 scripts is even more daunting. I'm a notoriously slow writer and reader. So, I owe reads to a good lot of writers. I hear what Jeff is saying, and even though I don't fall into that category of No Reads, I can't help but feel bad for not reviewing at least half the entries.

Me thinks it will be about mid-Jan or February when I can catch up on the reads. I get one full day off a year, usually Christmas Day. If I owe anybody a read, let me know and I will read your OWC script or a different short.

Finally, thanks to all who gave my entry a read.  There were some great critiques and advice, which I will surely utilize should I continue with the story.

Quoted from dead by dawn I didn't read many of these, but, wow...well, great work to Dena and John.  Halloween, Baby! was awesome.  Good stuff, John.

Thank you. And I loved love loved Halloween Baby as well...good job John.

Congrats to Eric, and also to
Henry, John, Ryan and Bill. Great job convincing most among these 36 entries.

Still have six to read, will come back to them once to finish the reads completely this time.

From what I read I had one recommend and 6 considers.
