OK. I'll start by honestly revealing mine...
One of God's Special Children, as some correctly guessed, but others were way off.
Thank you for some kind words. Glad some enjoyed it. I almost didn't enter, because I wasn't very happy with it, but as the days and weeks have passed, I'm cool with it.
I don't care about the iScript, really, but I look at it as a contest nonetheless. You write a script under a set of guidelines and have it done by a certain, specified time with a prize for first. You can understand how I'd mistake it as such.
Besides, I'll give you another reason why I like to look at it as a contest. I had no other reason to write this script. It's not one I'm particularly fond of and the execution was weak because it was rushed. To me, it's a free "contest" that comes up a couple times a year and it would be a shame to miss out on it.
Don has only given those away a few times. I don't think he has to unless he feels like it. It costs him money, you know and he hasn't promised to give one away...
Btw, you can buy those mugs too. Just don't by the left handed one. Ridiculously over priced!!

What if someone actually intended to produce a few of these. Would you still prefer the mug?

Who's next??
I got fooled twice, that rarely happens. Can usually peg Jeff.
I wrote A Light in Room Twelve. I hated this challenge. Almost didn't enter. My writing starts out pretty smooth and then goes right into the shitter. Was on my fourth tall can at the time. Oh well, was fun to enter.
Gonna guess that Now Lie In It wins overall. Don't know who wrote that.

Well, nobody will be interested in producing mine because it's not ready to be produced (besides, I've had 53 offers since I joined the site. To this point, not one has actually been filmed), so I honestly don't have to worry about that. As for the mug, I don't need it. I only drink water. Lol.

Was surprised at all of the love for Extraterrorestial. I don't think it hit the parameters at all. Just because they're aliens, it does not give them SUPER natural backstory. Super natural means to be above or beyond your own kind.

That's what I thought, too, but before I contest started, I looked up things that could be considered supernatural. Aliens were among them, so I had no particular problem with it.
I liked skiptrace a lot. Was in my top five for sure. And Sean, thanks for the passing grade for my script Johnny. It was my first script ever and I was a little nervous about submitting it but I was glad you liked it along with some others. - Dirk

Thank you. And, I'm not the only one who seemed to like it. A lot of people did. But, I still say it needed a darker ending (just me), though.
James, I actualy was liking yours, but as you said, it feel down as it went and your writing did show signs of the Tall Boys coming to play. I also knew yours by your PDF...not sure what's up with that, but it's always a dead giveaway.
Thank you DV. I also think I gave you some positive feedback. It was wel done and I applaud your eforts for a tough OWC.
Sean, yours as well...good job. There were things I really liked about yours and others that I obviosly didn't, but it was a very solid effort and I wouldn't be sruprised if you take this baby home and get to drink water out olf the coveted mug.
