Quoted from mmmarnie I'm doing my reviews by the master list and there are 36 but "Now Lie In It" is up there twice.  Trying to figure out which one is missing.....

Sorry, I screwed up the master list.  It is fixed now.

Don

Once again, Don is unquestionably the man. Good times. =)

I've just started my reviews, got 6 or 7 done so far. It'll take a few days but I hope to review most of them.

I'm about fifteen or so reveiws in. A lot of reading but fun.

2 more for me, I'll get to tonight.

Eh, thought I was making good progress.  I've only read 23.

No one has to read them all! It was just an observation that I kept seeing the same names in every thread.

I've had a busy day but plan on reading the ones I've missed...I've read the majority though...

Busy week....glad Don started posting over the weekend ...gave me a head start!

Didn't enter, horror or supernatural doesn't do it for me, but will read as many as I can, time permitting.

I would like to nominate Cowboy Sam for 2 prestgious awards in which I highly doubt any other scrpts will be able to equal or better this beast.

First up is the...

BEST USE OF A 4 DOOR SALOON - THE 4 DOOR SALOON IN THE BEGINNING

And finally, the coveted...

BEST FATHER DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP - JACK AND LIZ (KIDNAPPER AND KIDNAPPEE)

Congrats!!!

I remember from a previous owc that saloon is Brit slang for sedan.  You really do learn stuff on these challenges.

Not sure about the father/daughter award, as I haven't read all the scripts yet.  But, for most memorable/grotesque character I nominate Madam/Lady Putz, for your consideration.  

I like Reef Dreamer's suggestions for some informal awards:

OCT 2012 - OWC - Informal awards.

These would be non offensive, light hearted BUT still seek to identify issues that we can learn from, errors, mistakes etc I don't envisage real voting just banter, posts etc within the thread, unless a mod wishes to do more, but that's not the intention of this.

My suggestions would be, and I welcome others and general discourse on the subject;

• Worst LOGLINE  - that's mine, nobody else is getting close
  
• Funniest line - intended or unintended, such a big difference
  
• Weirdest character - not writer!
  
• Highest kill - in case of dispute extra wounded characters can be included in a count off. Lost limbs getting bonus points.
  
• Script furthest away from the criteria - could be mine again, but a title with lots of competition I expect
  
• Most amount os spelling mistakes - got to have one to keep us on our toes, yup mine again
  
• The What? Award - for the what the hell have I just read title. Open to interpretation as to what this would mean.
  
• The Jeff Bush Award for worst Slug line - just had to add that one
  
• The most unlikely stranger/character that saves the day. Mask optional.
  

With supplement suggestions!

Mr. Blonde

• The Worst Use of a Hurricane Award.
  
• The Most/Least Interesting Character Award.
  
• The Worst Motel Room Award.
  
• The Worst Title Award.
  
• The Worst Ending Award.
  

ReneC

• The Wassup! Award - for the script with the most clichés, disputes settled by most clichés on a single page.
  
• The IDGI - for the script least understood. (Yeah, I'd win this one.)
  
• The Deus Ex Machina award - for the script with the lamest coincidence saving the day.
  

Jeff/Dreamscale:
How about some positive awards?

• Best written
  
• Best story
  
• Makes the most sense
  
• Best use of the requirements
  
• Hottest character
  
• Best use of mimes and dinosaurs
  

Gage:

• Least amount of dialogue?  (this one will be coveted)
  
• Most dialogue?
  
• Most characters?
  
• Most interesting characters?
  
• The one where the storm was only in it because one of the requirements said there had to be a storm in it award?
  
• Longest/most frequent sex scene(s)? (between mimes, of course)
  

It's been fun reading these. I get to see different styles - see what works and what doesn't. Mine was a rush three hour job and submitted on the day of the challenge, definitely needs work and probably could win some awards for "yeah, that's only in there because that's part of the contest stipulations."

Looks like religion / possession is the winner for favorite theme.

Gonna read the rest of them by the end of the week.

I don't know what I look foward to more in a OWC ... reading all the new Scripts or reading Dreamscale OBLITERATING all of them.

This challenge was, well, challenging. To be honest, I think the scripts show this as they struggle to tick all the boxes (re Ticks - Ray - don't even think about it).

I' m not surprised we have had a few mad priests with the good versus evil requirement, just shame there has been so many. Particularly if you read a better one towards the end.

I actually expected more voodoo and hurriances in New Orleans. In fact I decided not to go down that route because of my expectations. What do I know, hey?

It's fair to say that most have needed to push the criteria a bit, with a few miles off. I can accept some variation, don't mind a few typos/slugs off etc, what I want reflect on is a decent story, an original take and maybe a script I could see developed, as the one I would back. After all, they are written in such a short period. I don't  think I am alone in saying that even an extra week would help me considerably tighten up and check for errors.

Almost there.
