Thanks, guys…! Bummer, should have ran with it Oh… we almost forgot about these little guys: (>'-')> <('_'<) ^('_')\- Which do not appear to be Emojis at all… but some macabre little ornaments, oooooh. The webmaster is getting too cryptic. Including this little goomba --> <( '-')>\_ Which I know, from a guy I know, who knows this guy, who knows that Don was secretly planning a ‘Killer Ringette’ script OWC, but thank better of it, considering it’s the most brutal sport played in the ‘deep dark depths of the holiday underground’. Yes, those skewered down hockey sticks CAN actually be used to impale the opposing team in the face, err… in the official rules (which don’t exist), I’ve seen it, lol… just saying. |

Some promising stuff, mate. I think the fatal flaw is the rinse and repeat. The First Scene with Man and Woman is basically the same as the Second Scene - arguing over drinking. You really can't afford to do this when you got six pages. The Second Scene is where the story needed to change/evolve. |

I’m envious of the Simply Scripts Christmas script. Next OWC I’m gonna write one just about Jeff, seeing as he’s the easy target around here, and seems like he can take a joke. |

People used to write these SS scripts all the time. Hard to do in 6 pages though, because in order to get the characters right, the writer needs to know the characters and they need to show them more than a line of dialogue for it to work. Some of the best ones have been around 15 pages or so.
As far as Jeff goes, I think the reason we like him is because he can make fun of himself. People that can are more likable than people that are sensitive and can't. |

Very true. However, I’d like to go on record as saying I never liked Jeff. I don’t know where that came from. |

I have to make fun of myself or I'd go more insane than I already am. And after seeing the reviews on my scripts, if I couldn't make fun of myself, I'd stop writing altogether. |

I've just watched the Christmas special of The Creepshow, it is genuinely insane! Would fit well with some of our efforts |

Think I've reviewed everyone's now, another great range of scripts and a couple of new voices I think.
Congrats to all on entering, no mean feat in the run up to Christmas.
Matthew - I'd suggest to your partner that they need to move their birthday, June/July time. Christmas Eve is just inconsiderate!
Merry Christmas all! |
