I finally read this one (yes, I've still got a few lagging reviews unfortunately.)

Competant writing - and I have no problem with the tons o gore.  Don't think it really hit the criteria, though.  Where's the supernatural events (mentioning an angel casually doesn't count), or the decision between good and evil?  (Discussion of it, sure...which was a fun read.  But a decision, it wasn't.)

Enjoyed the read, so kudos there.  But for the overall OWC criteria, not a home run...  

Quoted from RayW Nope. Yep. Whatever works for you. Pretty much done before I even started. LOL! Pretty funny pic, right? That's my goto guy for... these circumstances.

Well, I wouldn't know since it's usually easier to apologize when someone's upset with me and I don't need tacky pictures to insult them because I try not to insult them. Guess we all can't be class acts like you, Ray.

Thanks.
Yeah, I kinda foul ball hit the criteria.

Self assessment:

Code Adherence to Given Criteria: Odd but interesting character(s) - Juggalo Joe - yes, Regina - no take refuge from a hurricane - not really in a beat-up motel - yep and are forced to make a choice - not really between good or evil - yep in order to survive the night. - not really Each character must - have some history involving a supernatural event in their lives - Joe does that factors into their choice. - Regina's choice, but not Joe's Genre is open. - Horror thriller This is a micro-budget short, - yep so no destruction of the motel, - yep no children or animals - yep and minimal special effects. - yep BONUS! Story also included: mime(s) - Does Juggalo Joe's make up count? I think it should dinosaur(s) - yep, Regina's mask

The supernatural element was both Juggalo Joe's confession to Regina that he had indeed seen angels which in turn led her to her decision that it was people like him, who have any extreme religious experience, corrupt the moral landscape.

Thus, to return social morality back to some center Juggalo Joe must be removed from the equation.
And J-Joe either didn't understand that or didn't see Regina's thought processes evolving at that moment.

Regina MADE a decision between good and evil, but she wan't FORCED, so that's a big fail on my behalf.

For the audience, as in the real world, even though event A is much more exciting/exhilarating/horrendous/emotionally provocative than event B, which is quite subtle, event B may have a significantly greater impact on your/our lives.

It's a magic show. All misdirection. Look at my obvious left hand, think you're being clever watching my right hand, never see the assistant switching the containers.


Yeah, I just went back to my spreadsheet to build an "Averages" line, Row 68:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsBznn8D13zOdDRjb2JuYjdNelRfUi13OHRwS1JhVEE#gid=0
My own entry did not fare much better than the averages for most all criteria.
My guesstimated costs were a smige lower than average, as was the page count and cost per minute.
Scores were just above or below the average. Nothing to get excited about.

Just a tourist.
