Quoted from LC Hmm, there's all kinds of trading cards. Are they the same as collectible cards? Look at Wiki and there's a bunch totally unrelated to U.S. sports -  different cultures, different cards. https://www.thetoptens.com/top-trading-card-games/ Do trading card games count? E.g.Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon?? I think this needs clarifying.

These ones seem like children's cards.  I think I might skip this round.

Yu-Gi-Oh is played by adults, as is Pokemon I do believe.

I do feel like you though, jayrex.  Out of my element.  

BTW Blondie.. Due to the unpleasantness on here, I no longer wish to leave any reviews till after the scoring is complete. Is this acceptable?

Quoted from LC I do feel like you though, jayrex.  Out of my element.

Me three. I might be out this round. Hopefully I can bring it home with a cracking Sci-Fi in the final round. And by home I mean top 5, I'd be happy with that considering the quality of writers taking part.

Good luck all. If something comes to me I'll write it but this one feels beyond me.

Quoted from jayrex I thought of football stickers too.  But again, you can't trade them really for money.   I do feel alienated.  Can't relate to this one.

Trading cards are traded with each other, not just for money. Don't over think it, you could take LC's advice and invent your own

I too was gonna sit this out  but I had an idea    Then it didn’t like it so no entry was back on the agenda   Then I had a better idea and I’m off!

Waz, jayrex  Lib   Just use a football or baseball card that’s worth heaps then write a story about it!!!  Google what they are    Look on eBay for inspiration Jesus where’s ya get up and go?

I’m at work on my birthday and I’m writing in my head even as I stack drinks on the Woolies shelves!!!!

Personally I like your reviews, Rick. You add entertainment and liveliness, and often add valuable input and analysis.

To me your reviews are fine.

I'd rather just score the scripts, if it's possible. Then leave feedback once it's over.

Lol, trade card, Sean is getting trickier.

I participate in those because they give me ideas for later features. But nothing good will ever come out of me about action in church.
Plus you dont want to read the kind of action that came to my mind.
So I wont write this time either.
Which means you people have to do a better job as theres no one to have your back.

I'm seriously thinking about sex in a sewer for a feature.

Hey, Happy Birthday, Sean! Thanks for everything!
Stevie, Happy Birthday to you, too! Have a good one!

this is probably not the thread for it.

I wonder how many will start with "forgive me farther for I have sinned"

Mmmmm.. if writers can drop out, surely some can drop in...or maybe not.-Andrea

Lol, Andrea. I noticed you started reading and liking this whole thing. Maybe we can work out a deal of dropping out and in and talk to Sean or something.
Only my ratings suck if you decide to take my place.

I’d give the criteria points for something like that, but it’d be good to hear from Sean on it. They get really obscure after the top three or so.

Beyblades are popular with elementary school kids right now, but they’re not cards, so I’d stay away from that one. Same thing with Pogs, Dragon Dice, and other toys that fill a trading-card-type niche.

Quoted from khamanna Lol, Andrea. I noticed you started reading and liking this whole thing. Maybe we can work out a deal of dropping out and in and talk to Sean or something. Only my ratings suck if you decide to take my place.

Haha!  Khamanna, mine would probably be worse... we'll just wait until the next OWC.  Thanks a bunch.
