I've never rewritten any of my OWC scripts. They are done for that challenge then it's time to move on.

Speaking of future OWCs, I have had an idea for one for a couple of years. I'd like to see one where the themes is chosen but then the genres are randomly given out to perps

So if there was say 40 writers gonna enter, you'd have 5 doing a comedy, 5 a horror, 5 an action, and so on.

This would produce a unique spread of scripts all about the same theme but with the different takes on each. It would be better reading tol. Just a thought.


I've read about 15 of the current lot but have been busy. Another huge day and night at work today so that's me done. If I haven't reviewed your script and you want my feedback, plse PM me.  The novelty of the anon thing wears off very quickly and I personally think we should ditch it!  But what would I know? Lol

Cheers guys

I think that is an awesome idea. (Assigning various genres with one topic.)

And I'm probably beating a dead horse here, but isn't the anon supposed to "prevent" people from voting on a personal level? Like there's obviously people here with friendships and that may effect the voting. People may side with their peeps even if it's not deliberate. (You could also argue a correlation in the fact that most of the friends are vets, and therefor will have better writing and are most likely to be voted anyways)

But...People can say easily reveal who they are. So you could be right on it being redundant.

Without anonymity, it can work the opposite way too - peeps who hate otehr peeps can review negatively when they want to.

Anon is the only way to go, IMO.

For isntance, if I knew I was reading Stevie's script, I'd shit all over it.  

Yeah, I don't think I've ever rewritten an OWC script, even though a few had massive potential. But in a similar manner, I just finished writing a feature yesterday based on the short I entered in Jeff's OWC, so that's always a plus. I'm also shamelessly looking for reads on it if anybody is up for it.

What's the genre? I'm useless for science-fiction type stuff, but I might give it a go if it's something else... Is it posted here?

Hi all,

just wanted to know if it's really bad form to read and vote without typing a review? My laptop's been bust since last Sunday and I've been reading some entries on my phone. I did one review on my phone but it was a real PITA.

I think most people have covered the main criticisms on entries by now, so is just voting okay?


Thanks.

Feeble, don't be shy about leaving reviews. This is more about helping each other as writers than anything else. So we welcome  thoughts and suggestions you may have on as many scripts as possible.

Quoted from Feeble1 I think most people have covered the main criticisms on entries by now, so is just voting okay?

Short and sweet, long and detailed, makes no difference. Your opinion counts. Maybe there's something that you read that goes against the bandwagon, maybe not. Maybe there's something that was missed, wrongly assumed, who knows. Don't be so sure on "main criticisms" either. It's all subjective. And people can also err and jump on a bandwagon from time to time. I'm not suggesting it's always like that or it is like that on any script here. But if you liked or didn't like a script one more comment be it yea or nay won't be a straw that breaks a camel's back.

Okay, I'll see what I can add to the mix

Quoted from JD What's the genre? I'm useless for science-fiction type stuff, but I might give it a go if it's something else... Is it posted here?

Ha! The chances, it's a Sci-fi unfortunately, pretty in your face about its subject matter too. Oh well.

What happened to the link for Chariots in the Cyanide? I read it a week ago, but when I looked for the link to post review I can't find that one. Am I missing it? I could need more coffee!

Quoted from nawazm11 Ha! The chances, it's a Sci-fi unfortunately, pretty in your face about its subject matter too. Oh well.

I can try and read through some of it at some point if you'd like?

I want to go apply to some jobs today, but I will try and drop a couple more reviews before casting my votes.

By the way, the voting link sent to my email doesn't work. Just says error found 404! If Don doesn't see this, I'll just email him when I get back.

No, don't worry about the coffee, lol!  

I withdrew my script from the challenge this time around a few days ago, I had some personal matters offline.  I'm still pushing through to read every script!

Cheers everyone!

Johnny

Hope everything's OK, Johnny!!!!

I'm not sure how many I read, but I think I'm done for now. I'll cast my votes tonight. I will probably read a few more after the reveal.

As usual, mine didn't go over well with the women here at all.
