Hi,

I am madly getting the scripts processed and trying to screen them as best I can to ensure they meet the key requirements - page length and witch/warlock and horror.  

Note: Some folks have chosen not to enter anonymously.  That is ok.

There are a lot of new folks to the site.  I encourage everyone who participated in the challenge to please read and comment on as many of the submissions as possible.  If you are not registered for the discussion board, email me at webmaster @ simplyscripts.com .

There were 55 entries.  That is a record for entries.  Some are being held until after the challenge as they did not meet the requirements.  

Lastly, I had one truly anonymous entry - no email address.  I can't post that script, so would "Michael Maguire" please send me an email with a longline for your script, I will post it.

Full listing of the OWC scripts

Thanks for all your work, Don, this must be a pain. 55 is a great sign of health for the site, great work.

Very much appreciated, Don.  I wasn't able to submit a script (blast my work schedule and poor time management skills) but I'll try and review as many as I can.

55...wow.

Very cool and very impressive that all the scripts are already posted and all were posted together, at the same time.  Hopefully, this will allow each script to get the same attention.

Today looks to be a reding day, so away we go!

I've been a bit quiet on this challenge -- in a very busy place these days, for the next few weeks, with almost no free time.

I do not have an entry, and there are WAY too many threads to monitor with any regularity.

Please do not hesitate to alert the moderators to any trouble spots that you see developing -- particularly with so many new folks running around.

Thanks!


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

The 55 entries is impressive indeed (as is the expediency with which they were posted). Congrats to everyone who submitted and made this one extra special. Also thanks to Don as always. I think the openness of the theme is such that many have been hankering for in a Halloween OWC for some time and I suspect why so many peeps came out of the woodwork this time around.

This is my first OWC in three years so rest assured I will be reading many (if not all) scripts in the near future. Perhaps I'll get started tomorrow; Renn Faire today.

I didn't write anything, either, but I'll try to read the entries. Looks like there are some good ones...

I think the email that Don sent out to us encouraged the members hiding in the woodwork to come out and join in on the fun.

Nicely done.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have 48 scripts to read.  Actually, 47.  I already know how one of them ends.

Your hard work is appreciated! Thank you. Very excited for this. Just got home after being back in my hometown this past week. Starting the reading tonight.


A bad writer, trying to become decent...

Thank you for all who put up with my work and try and help me improve.

Practice will hopefully pay off for my writing.

Will take a lot of time to get through 400-500 pages, but we'll see how it goes. Nice turnout. Good luck everyone!

Wow so many entered! Great job Don. Now for a "dumb" question, is it okay to review scripts even though you were unable to complete your own?
