Quoted from Gum

Simply put, does everyone have a basic consensus of who�s gonna take the whole thing? Do you have to wait till the end, or is there a link re: tourney standings? Simply curious how everyone did overall.

I'm pretty sure it's Paul. But let's see. Just eyeballing, I didn't do any calculations.

Unless Paul scores 1 or something then I think he's the winner based on previous round scores (congrats in advance!)

Haven't heard back from Don, regarding the scores. So, it's hard to answer that question, yet, Khamanna.

I know your own entry is in the toss this last round. I want to try guess it out.

If I have the lead, I definitely left the door open. There are a couple of scripts that, depending on who wrote them, could push someone past me.

I didn’t do the math, but I think this was the highest scoring round of all my scoresheets.

I went ahead and did calculations because that's the kind of guy I am. Your eyeball is correct, Paul is ahead after four rounds; then it's Anthony, John, and Mark bunched up about 0.2 stars behind.

But there were a lot of great scripts in the fifth round. Excited to see how it turns out.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Well, I've seen some greatness this round but my favorite were the first three.

For the fourth there were hardly any fairs. But not many VG's either. And no excellents. All were good scripts that require some work in my opinion.

But we know that there were some flawless scripts. Especially in round three.

My most favorite script out of all WT is in this round though. Let's see how it does. Nothing will excite me better than seeing that script come on top.

The Historical genre rocked my world btw. Now I have a new favorite genre. How weird.

Voted a few hours ago, sorry for delay, everyone. I have a few more scripts to comment on, but I read them all.

Really surprised at the dichotomy this round. Some people obviously struggled with what they had left, but others saved like squirrels and came out with really great efforts.

Had to rush a little to get comments in and vote so apologies for the sparsity of the reviews.

Well that was a fun few weeks and I've learned a lot, mostly that you can't please everyone
I have to say however that I've read some really great scripts throughout the past few weeks and some of you have a real talent for storytelling.

Congratulations to everyone for writing and entering and although there may only be one 'winner', you've all certainly won me over with your creativity, passion and honesty.

Well done everyone.


If at first you don't succeed........bribe someone.

All the scores are in and have been sent to Sean for posting at his leisure.  Final, final scores are still being tabulated.  It is very, very close and I want to make sure the maths is right.

Don't forget to carry the one, Don and add it to mine.

Also, Molly wants me to have her scores as well.
